A36R2412HCR

Overview

The A36R2412HCR is a medium-sized Type 3R hinged-cover enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It measures 36 inches in height, 24 inches in width, and 12 inches in depth. Constructed from 16/14 gauge galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder-coated finish, it provides protection against rain, sleet, and snow for outdoor electrical components. The unit features a drip-shield top, seam-free sides, front, and back, along with galvanized steel lift-off hinges and stainless steel pins. It holds NEMA 3R, IP32, UL 50, UL 50E, and CUL ratings.

Feature Summary

• Type 3R construction designed to protect wiring and electrical components from rain, sleet, and snow in outdoor environments
• Drip-shield top design combined with seam-free sides, front, and back panels to enhance environmental sealing
• Galvanized steel lift-off hinges equipped with stainless steel pins for durable operation
• Cover secured with draw-pull catches to ensure the enclosure remains fastened securely

Applications

• Outdoor protection for electrical wiring and components exposed to weather elements
• Industrial installations requiring NEMA 3R rated enclosures for rain and snow resistance
• Utility applications needing durable metal housing for sensitive equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required ingress protection rating matches NEMA 3R and IP32 specifications for your specific outdoor environment. Confirm dimensional requirements align with the 36x24x12 inch footprint. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting infrastructure given the galvanized steel construction and hinge mechanism. Check for any specific UL or CUL listing requirements mandated by local electrical codes before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor exposure to precipitation such as rain, sleet, or snow is expected. The galvanized steel material offers corrosion resistance suitable for harsh environments. The hinged cover design allows for easier access compared to removable covers. Consider the 16/14 gauge thickness for structural integrity. Verify that the ANSI 61 gray color meets facility aesthetic standards if visibility is a concern.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures Type 3R series, specifically the medium hinged-cover line. It is part of a broader family of metal enclosures designed for industrial and utility applications. Similar models may vary in dimensions or gauge thickness but share the same protective rating and material composition principles for outdoor durability.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When replacing, ensure the new unit matches the NEMA 3R rating, IP32 level, and physical dimensions of 36x24x12 inches. Verify that the replacement also utilizes galvanized steel and compatible hinge mechanisms.
