Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as nVent acquired the Hoffman brand. Confirm that the part number A6R44 corresponds to the exact 6x4x4 inch dimensions and Type 3R rating. Ensure the finish matches the required ANSI 61 Gray specification for compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Select this model when outdoor exposure requires protection from falling rain and sleet but dust tightness is not critical. The 16-gauge steel construction offers robust physical protection. Verify that the internal volume accommodates the intended wiring and components within the specified 6x4x4 inch footprint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Style A body enclosure series designed for industrial applications. It serves as a standard junction box solution where moderate environmental protection is necessary. The Type 3R rating distinguishes it from indoor-only or fully dust-tight variants.
