A48H3616SSLP

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A48H3616SSLP is a wall-mount enclosure constructed from 14-gauge Type 304 stainless steel. It features a brushed finish and measures 48 inches in length, 36 inches in width, and 16 inches in depth. The unit includes one continuously hinged door with a hasp and staple padlock mechanism. It provides protection ratings of NEMA 3/3R/4/4X/12/13 and IP66. The design utilizes seamless, watertight foam gaskets and welded seams without knockouts to ensure environmental sealing.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 14-gauge Type 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Features a continuously hinged single-door design with a brushed finish
• Includes a hasp and staple locking mechanism for security
• Utilizes seamless watertight foam gaskets and welded seams

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring high environmental protection
• Outdoor electrical installations exposed to harsh weather
• Food and beverage processing environments demanding hygiene standards
• Chemical processing facilities requiring corrosion-resistant housing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional requirements against the 48x36x16 inch specifications before procurement. Confirm that the 14-gauge stainless steel construction meets the necessary structural and corrosion resistance standards for the intended installation environment. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting infrastructure given the large footprint and weight of the enclosure.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high ingress protection (NEMA 4X/IP66) and durability are required. The 304 stainless steel material offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel or aluminum options. The continuous hinge design facilitates easier access to internal components compared to removable door configurations. Consider the large physical dimensions to ensure adequate space for installation and maintenance access.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman A4S series of wall-mount enclosures. It is designed for applications requiring robust protection against dust, water, and corrosion. The series typically includes various sizes and materials, with this specific model offering a large capacity housed in stainless steel. It serves as a protective barrier for sensitive electronic and electrical equipment in demanding industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible accessories such as DIN rails, mounting plates, or cable glands if not included. Verify that any replacement parts maintain the same NEMA 4X rating and material composition to preserve environmental sealing integrity.
