A202408LP

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A202408LP is a medium-sized, single-door wall-mount enclosure constructed from mild steel with a gray powder-coated finish. It measures 20 inches in height, 24 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth (508mm x 609.6mm x 203.2mm). The unit features a 16-gauge body and a 14-gauge door, with seams that are continuously welded and ground smooth to ensure dust-tight integrity. It carries NEMA 12, NEMA 13, and IP65 ratings for protection against dust, dripping water, and oil. The enclosure includes external mounting feet, a continuous hinge, screw-down clamps, and a padlocking hasp.

Feature Summary

• Continuous welding and grinding of seams ensures a dust-tight seal without holes or knockouts
• Dual-gauge construction utilizes 16-gauge steel for the body and 14-gauge steel for the door
• Includes integrated external wall mounting brackets for secure installation
• Provides enhanced security through a standard padlocking hasp and staple mechanism

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring NEMA 12 protection
• Electrical equipment housing in dusty or oily environments
• Wall-mounted installations for machinery control systems
• Applications requiring high durability and corrosion resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gauge requirements against your application needs, as bodies are 16-gauge while doors are 14-gauge. Confirm that the standard NEMA 12/13/IP65 rating aligns with your environmental exposure levels. Ensure the 20x24x8 inch dimensions fit your available wall space. Check if additional accessories like window kits or internal lighting are required, as these are typically sold separately.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, dust-tight enclosure is needed for indoor industrial use. The 16-gauge body offers structural rigidity, while the 14-gauge door provides impact resistance. The continuous hinge allows the door to remain attached during maintenance. Consider the A202408LP over aluminum options if cost-effectiveness and higher strength-to-weight ratio are priorities over extreme corrosion resistance in harsh outdoor conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman A2 series of steel enclosures, designed for general industrial protection. It is part of a broader family of wall-mount units varying in size and depth. The LP suffix typically denotes the inclusion of a padlocking hasp and specific clamp configurations. Similar models include the A202412LP for deeper storage or the A202406LP for shallower applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include the nVent Hoffman equivalent or generic NEMA 12 steel enclosures with identical 20x24x8 inch dimensions. Verify that substitute models maintain the same 16/14 gauge steel construction and continuous hinge design. Ensure any alternative part also meets UL 508A and CSA C22.2 standards for North American compliance.
