APWK1711NF

Overview

The Hoffman APWK1711NF is a non-metallic wall mount enclosure constructed from polycarbonate. It features a hinged door with a quarter-turn latch mechanism for secure access. The unit provides NEMA 4X protection against corrosion, dust, and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Dimensions are approximately 17 inches in height, 11 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. The transparent door allows for visual inspection of internal components without opening the enclosure.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from durable polycarbonate material resistant to corrosion and chemicals
• Includes a hinged door with a quarter-turn latch for secure closure
• Provides NEMA 4X environmental protection ratings
• Features a transparent window for visual monitoring of internal equipment

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring corrosion resistance
• Outdoor electrical installations exposed to moisture and chemicals
• Food and beverage processing environments due to washdown compatibility
• Marine or coastal applications where salt spray is present

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes all necessary mounting hardware and gaskets as specified in the official datasheet. Confirm that the NEMA 4X rating aligns with your environmental requirements. Ensure the internal dimensions accommodate your components with adequate clearance for wiring and heat dissipation. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for your installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when chemical resistance and watertight sealing are critical. Polycarbonate offers impact resistance superior to many metals while remaining lightweight. Consider the transparent door feature if visual diagnostics are needed frequently. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight and that the hinge mechanism has sufficient clearance for door operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Hoffman's line of non-metallic enclosures designed for demanding environments. It serves as an alternative to metal enclosures where corrosion is a primary concern. The series typically includes various sizes and configurations to suit different component layouts and access needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the external dimensions and mounting hole patterns to ensure fitment. Verify that substitute models maintain the NEMA 4X rating and polycarbonate construction. Check latch mechanisms and door swing directions for compatibility with existing spatial constraints.
