Constructed from mild steel with a powder-coated finish, it provides Type 12 protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil coolants. The unit features five doors with gasketed overlapping designs at two-door openings to eliminate the need for centerposts. It is supplied less panel for custom installations.

Feature Summary

• Gasketed overlapping door design eliminates centerposts at two-door openings
• Seams are continuously welded and ground smooth without holes or knockouts
• Heavy steel back stiffeners maintain flatness and increase rigidity

Applications

• Industrial environments requiring Type 12 protection
• Free-standing equipment housing
• Custom panel installation setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional requirements against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the enclosure is supplied less panel as stated in the manufacturer description. Ensure compatibility with intended mounting hardware and environmental conditions specified for Type 12 enclosures.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a large, rigid, multi-door enclosure with high ingress protection. The absence of centerposts allows for wider access. Consider the weight and structural support needs due to the heavy steel construction and stiffeners.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman free-standing multi-door enclosure series. It is designed for industrial use where robust physical protection and ease of access via multiple doors are required. The LP designation typically refers to the interior finish or coating type.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated nVent product numbers if Hoffman branding has changed. Verify dimensional compatibility if substituting with other Type 12 multi-door enclosures from different manufacturers.
