Feature Summary

• Captivated stainless steel cover screws thread into sealed wells
• Oil-resistant gasket and adhesive seal
• Seams continuously welded and ground smooth

Applications

• Wiring boxes subject to windblown dust and/or rain
• Junction boxes requiring Type 3 protection
• Pull or terminal box installations

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment aligns with the manufacturer's Type 3 rating, which protects against windblown dust and rain but may not meet higher ingress protection standards like NEMA 4 or IP66. Confirm that the galvanized steel construction and zinc-rich ANSI 61 powder paint finish are suitable for the intended chemical and corrosion exposure conditions. Ensure mounting requirements match the wall-mount design specifications provided in the official documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an indoor-rated enclosure capable of handling windblown dust and rain is required. The A90GS series offers a standard screw-cover configuration suitable for general industrial control environments. Consider the 16x16x12 inch internal volume for component placement. Verify compatibility with any necessary knockouts or accessories, such as hole plugs or terminal straps, if additional panel space or wiring management is needed for the specific installation.
