Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA Type 3R rating and UL/CUL certifications match project requirements. Confirm dimensions (18x18x6 inches) and material thickness (16 gauge) align with mechanical constraints. Ensure the ANSI 61 gray color and galvanized steel finish are acceptable for the installation environment. Check for included knockouts or mounting hardware specifications.
