A16R126HCRQTH

Overview

The A16R126HCRQTH is a medium-sized Type 3R enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It features a hinged cover design with quarter-turn wing knob handles for secure access. Constructed from galvanized steel with a polyester powder-coated ANSI 61 gray finish, it provides protection against rain, sleet, snow, and dripping water. The unit includes a drip shield top and seam-free sides, front, and back to enhance environmental sealing. It meets UL 50/50E and CUL standards for outdoor electrical component protection.

Feature Summary

• Quarter-turn wing knob handle mechanism for secure latching
• Drip shield top and seam-free construction for weather resistance
• Galvanized steel material with ANSI 61 gray powder coating

Applications

• Outdoor wiring protection in rain or sleet conditions
• Mounting electrical components requiring Type 3R rating
• Industrial equipment housing needing corrosion-resistant casing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix QTH confirms the quarter-turn handle configuration, as standard HCR models may differ. Confirm dimensional requirements match the 16x12x6 inch specification. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware. Check for updated UL listings before final procurement. Validate material finish specifications against environmental exposure needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor weather protection is required without full submersion resistance. Compare against IP66 rated stainless steel options if higher ingress protection is needed. Consider internal space requirements for component layout. Evaluate mounting orientation constraints due to the hinged door design. Assess corrosion resistance needs relative to the galvanized steel finish.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Medium DS Hinge-Cover series designed for general outdoor use. It is distinct from indoor NEMA 1 enclosures and fully sealed NEMA 4X units. The series offers standardized dimensions for modular rack or panel integration. It serves as a protective barrier for low-voltage and power distribution systems in exposed environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Type 3R enclosures of identical 16x12x6 dimensions from Hoffman. Verify handle type compatibility if retrofitting existing panels. Cross-reference UL file numbers for regulatory equivalence. Ensure mounting hole patterns align with current infrastructure.
