Overview

The A48H3612SS6LP3PT is a wall-mount enclosure manufactured by nVent Hoffman. It measures 48 inches in height, 36 inches in width, and 12 inches in depth. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it provides Type 4X, NEMA 12, and IP66 protection ratings. The unit features a single door with a continuous hinge and a PowerGlide handle equipped with a three-point latching mechanism. The finish includes a #4 smooth brushed surface on the door, sides, top, and bottom, with an electropolished handle.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Features a PowerGlide handle with three-point latching for secure closure
• Includes a continuous hinge design for durable door operation
• Provides Type 4X and IP66 environmental protection ratings

Applications

• Indoor industrial environments requiring corrosion resistance
• Outdoor applications exposed to harsh weather conditions
• Facilities demanding high ingress protection against dust and water
• Chemical processing or marine-adjacent industrial settings

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required mounting hardware and internal accessories are included or ordered separately, as they are not part of the standard enclosure assembly. Confirm that the specific 316 stainless steel grade matches project specifications for chemical compatibility. Ensure the wall-mount configuration aligns with the structural support capabilities of the installation site. Check for any specific air order fees associated with expedited shipping requests from the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this model when superior corrosion resistance is critical compared to standard carbon steel or aluminum options. The 316 stainless steel construction is necessary for environments containing chlorides or aggressive chemicals. The large 48x36x12 dimensions accommodate substantial equipment volumes. The three-point latch offers superior security and seal integrity compared to standard two-point mechanisms, making it suitable for high-security or high-protection requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman line of metal enclosures designed for electrical and industrial control applications. The series emphasizes durability and environmental sealing through robust materials like 316 stainless steel. Enclosures in this category typically serve as protective housings for sensitive electronic components, ensuring operational reliability in challenging industrial settings where standard enclosures might fail due to corrosion or ingress.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 48x36x12 inch dimensions and 316 stainless steel material composition. Verify that alternative models also feature Type 4X/IP66 ratings and compatible mounting configurations. Ensure the replacement maintains the three-point latching mechanism if security and seal integrity are required. Cross-reference hinge types to ensure continuity of door operation.
