A16148PHCW

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A16148PHCW is a lightweight junction box constructed from non-glass filled polyester with a textured RAL 7035 light gray finish. It features a single hinged door equipped with a viewing window and a clamp mechanism. The enclosure measures 16.02 inches in length, 14.01 inches in width, and 8.35 inches in depth. It holds NEMA 13 and IP66 ratings, providing protection against dust, dirt, oil, and water ingress.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from Polypro™ lightweight polyester material for reduced weight compared to steel alternatives
• Features a hinged door design integrated with a viewing window for visual inspection without opening
• Secured with a robust clamp mechanism ensuring a tight seal against environmental contaminants

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring protection from oil and coolant exposure
• Outdoor electrical installations needing high ingress protection against rain and dust
• Machinery enclosures where weight reduction is critical for mounting flexibility

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA 13 and IP66 rating requirements against your environmental conditions before ordering. Confirm that the polyester material compatibility aligns with any potential chemical exposures in the installation environment. Ensure the external dimensions of 16.02 x 14.01 x 8.35 inches fit within the designated space constraints of the equipment layout.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a lightweight alternative to steel enclosures is required while maintaining high environmental protection standards. The inclusion of a window allows for status monitoring of internal components without compromising the sealed integrity of the enclosure. Consider the clamp closure system for applications requiring frequent access while maintaining a secure seal against harsh industrial elements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent HOFFMAN Polypro series, designed specifically for applications demanding corrosion resistance and lower weight than traditional metal enclosures. The A16148PHCW variant integrates a window feature, distinguishing it from standard solid-door models within the same dimensional family. It serves as a specialized solution for environments where both physical durability and visual accessibility are necessary.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hoffman Polypro models with identical dimensions but different door configurations, such as the A16148PHC which lacks the window. Verify that any replacement maintains the NEMA 13/IP66 rating and compatible mounting hole patterns to ensure seamless integration into existing setups.
