AFS03021-316

Overview

The AFS03021-316 is a wall-mounting enclosure from the nVent HOFFMAN AFS Series, constructed from Stainless Steel 316L. It features single-door design with an integrated rain hood and sloped roof. Dimensions are 300 mm height, 200 mm width, and 155 mm depth. The unit provides IP66 ingress protection against dust and water, meeting NEMA 4X/12/13 standards and IK10 impact resistance rating.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from hygienic Stainless Steel 316L for corrosion resistance
• Integrated rain hood and sloped roof design for weather protection
• Single-door configuration with high ingress protection rating

Applications

• Hygienic industrial environments requiring stainless steel construction
• Outdoor installations exposed to dust and water jets
• Food and beverage processing facilities
• Chemical or marine applications demanding high corrosion resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the integrated rain hood, as this feature distinguishes certain AFS variants. Confirm the material specification is explicitly 316L stainless steel rather than standard 304 grade if high corrosion resistance is required. Ensure the mounting surface supports the weight of the steel enclosure. Check for any specific gasket or latch requirements for your environmental sealing needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when hygienic standards and superior corrosion resistance are mandatory. The 316L material is preferred over 304 in aggressive chemical or saline environments. The IP66 rating makes it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions. Consider the internal volume (approx. 9.3 liters) to ensure adequate space for components. The sloped roof aids in shedding debris and water accumulation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent HOFFMAN AFS Series, which specializes in hygienic enclosures for demanding industries. The series offers various materials including polycarbonate and stainless steel. The AFS03021-316 specifically utilizes 316L steel for enhanced durability in corrosive settings, differing from the standard steel or 304 stainless options available in the broader AFS lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other IP66 rated 316L stainless steel enclosures of similar dimensions (300x200x155mm). Verify compatibility with existing mounting holes and door hinge orientations. Alternative brands offering hygienic stainless steel enclosures should be evaluated for equivalent IK10 impact ratings and NEMA 4X compliance.
