AHE36X24X8

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures AHE36X24X8 is a steel pull box with a hinged cover, measuring 36.00 inches in height, 24.00 inches in width, and 8.00 inches in depth (914 mm x 610 mm x 203 mm). Constructed from 16-gauge or 14-gauge steel, it features an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder-coated finish. The enclosure meets NEMA Type 1 and IP30 standards, providing protection against falling drops of water and limited ingress of solid foreign objects. It includes mounting holes on the back for secure installation.

Feature Summary

• Hinged cover design allows for easy access to internal components
• Steel construction provides durable physical protection
• ANSI 61 gray polyester powder coating offers corrosion resistance

Applications

• Electrical panel installations requiring NEMA Type 1 protection
• Industrial control systems needing accessible wiring compartments
• Commercial building infrastructure for cable management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gauge thickness (14 vs 16) required for your application, as specifications may vary by production batch or region. Confirm that the hinge orientation (left or right) matches your installation layout. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware and check for any regional certification requirements such as UL or CSA before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard-sized, hinged steel enclosure is needed for indoor or protected outdoor use. The 36x24x8 dimensions provide ample space for terminal blocks and wire routing. Consider the NEMA 1 rating sufficient if dust and dripping water are the primary environmental concerns. Verify that the door swing direction accommodates adjacent equipment or walls.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman AHE series of pull boxes, designed for general-purpose electrical enclosures. These units are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings where basic environmental protection is required. The series offers various sizes to accommodate different wiring densities and component counts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NEMA Type 1 steel pull boxes with identical 36x24x8 dimensions. Ensure replacement units maintain the same material gauge and finish quality. Verify that mounting hole patterns are compatible with existing structures.
