Procurement Notes

Verify the specific depth requirement, as sources cite both 8.00 and 8.625 inches. Confirm that the ANSI 61 gray finish meets project specifications. Ensure the Type 1 rating aligns with indoor environmental conditions. Check for included weldnuts if internal panel mounting is planned. Validate compatibility with existing conduit entries or knockouts if modifications are required.

Select this model for indoor applications requiring basic protection against falling objects and limited ingress of liquids. The steel construction offers durability for general industrial environments. Consider the recessed handle mechanism for security needs.
