Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures Inc. A8R88 is an A-style body enclosure constructed from mild steel with a galvanized and polyester powder-painted finish in ANSI 61 gray. It features a slip-on removable cover fastened with plated steel screws along the bottom. The unit measures 8 inches in height, width, and depth (203.00mm x 203.00mm x 203.00mm). It carries NEMA Type 3R and IP32 ratings, providing protection against rain, snow, and sleet via a drip shield top and seam-free sides.

Feature Summary

• Drip shield top design protects internal components from precipitation such as rain, snow, or sleet
• Seam-free sides, front, and back construction enhances environmental sealing
• Slip-on removable cover secured by plated steel screws for accessible maintenance

Applications

• Outdoor wiring installations requiring weather resistance
• Junction box applications in exposed environments
• Equipment housing where NEMA Type 3R protection is specified

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required mounting configuration matches the fixed dimensions of the A8R88 model. Confirm that the NEMA Type 3R rating meets the specific environmental exposure requirements of the installation site. Ensure compatibility with any necessary knockouts or internal accessories prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an 8x8x8 inch enclosure is needed for outdoor use. The mild steel construction offers durability while the galvanized and painted finish provides corrosion resistance. Consider this option if a screw-cover mechanism is preferred over hinged doors for simpler access and lower profile requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman A-style body enclosure series designed for general-purpose industrial applications.
