A8R64NK

Overview

The A8R64NK is a NEMA Type 3R wall-mount enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. Constructed from mild steel with a galvanized finish, it measures 8.00 inches in height, 6.00 inches in width, and 4.00 inches in depth. The unit features a screw-on cover design and includes no pre-drilled knockouts. It provides IP32 ingress protection against dripping water and dust, suitable for outdoor environments.

Feature Summary

• Galvanized mild steel construction for weather resistance
• Screw-cover design for secure closure
• No knockout configuration for custom drilling

Applications

• Outdoor wiring installations
• Junction box applications
• Equipment housing in exposed environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific requirement for a no-knockout configuration, as standard variants may include pre-drilled holes. Confirm that the galvanized finish meets corrosion resistance standards for the intended outdoor environment. Ensure the 8x6x4 dimensions accommodate the internal components and cable entry requirements without modification.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, weather-resistant enclosure is required for outdoor use. The NEMA 3R rating protects against rain and sleet but does not provide dust-tight sealing. Consider the lack of knockouts if custom hole placement is necessary to avoid structural weakening or additional fabrication steps during installation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman A8R series of screw-cover enclosures. These units are designed for general-purpose industrial and commercial applications where protection against dripping water is essential. The series offers various sizes and materials to suit different environmental conditions and mounting requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8x6x4 dimensions, NEMA 3R rating, and screw-cover mechanism. Verify material compatibility and finish quality to ensure equivalent durability in outdoor settings.
