Feature Summary

• Galvanized steel construction with ANSI 61 gray polyester powder coating
• Screw-cover design for secure access
• Type 3R rating for outdoor environmental protection

Applications

• Outdoor wiring or junction box installations
• Protection of electrical controls from rain and sleet
• Snow-exposed control environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as nVent acquired Hoffman Enclosures. Confirm that the ANSI 61 color specification matches project requirements. Ensure the screw-cover style is suitable for the intended maintenance frequency and security needs of the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor weather resistance against precipitation is required but submersion protection is not necessary. The compact 12x12x4 inch dimensions make it suitable for smaller control assemblies. Verify that the screw-cover mechanism aligns with the tool availability and access protocols at the deployment location.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Type 3R series, designed specifically for outdoor applications where protection from falling rain and sleet is critical. It serves as a standard solution for housing electrical components in exposed environments without requiring the higher ingress protection levels of NEMA 4 or IP66 enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated part numbers under the nVent HOFFMAN branding. Verify dimensional compatibility if replacing existing units. Ensure the replacement maintains the same UL and CUL listing status for code compliance.
