A181610CHSCFGW

Overview

The Hoffman A181610CHSCFGW is a Type 4X enclosure constructed from molded fiberglass, designed for corrosion-resistant applications. It features a continuous hinge door with an integrated window cover and measures 18 x 16 x 10 inches. The unit provides IP66 protection and holds UL 508A, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals. It includes two locks for secure access and is finished in light gray.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge design allows the door to remain attached during full opening
• Integrated window cover protects viewing areas while maintaining environmental sealing
• Molded fiberglass construction ensures resistance to corrosion and harsh chemicals

Applications

• Industrial environments requiring corrosion protection
• Outdoor equipment housing needing IP66 ratings
• Control panels subject to washdown procedures

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires Type 4X compliance and fiberglass material properties. Confirm dimensional fitment against the 18x16x10 inch external specifications. Ensure that the continuous hinge mechanism aligns with installation constraints. Check for necessary accessory compatibility if internal mounting is required.

Selection Notes

Select this model when chemical resistance and watertight integrity are critical. The fiberglass composition offers superior durability compared to standard steel in corrosive settings. The continuous hinge reduces wear on door hinges over time. Verify that the window cover meets visibility requirements without compromising the seal.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman NEMA 4X enclosure family, which specializes in high-protection industrial housings. The series utilizes fiberglass molding to achieve consistent wall thickness and structural integrity. It is engineered for demanding environments where standard metal enclosures may degrade due to moisture or chemical exposure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Type 4X fiberglass enclosures with identical 18x16x10 dimensions. Verify that replacement units maintain continuous hinge functionality and IP66 certification. Ensure that locking mechanisms and window cover designs match existing infrastructure requirements.
