ASE10X8X4SSNK

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures ASE10X8X4SSNK is a pull box constructed from 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish. It measures 10 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth. The unit features a threaded cover secured by captivated screws and includes an oil-resistant gasket. It provides NEMA Type 3R and 4X protection, equivalent to IP66 ratings, ensuring resistance to corrosion, oil, and water ingress.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Threaded cover design with captivated fasteners
• Oil-resistant gasket seals the enclosure
• Seams are continuously welded and ground smooth

Applications

• Industrial environments requiring corrosion protection
• Locations exposed to oil or chemical contaminants
• Outdoor installations needing weatherproofing
• Electrical wiring pull points in harsh conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires NEMA Type 4X and IP66 ratings rather than lower standards. Confirm that the 10x8x4 inch internal volume meets wire capacity requirements. Ensure the threaded cover mechanism aligns with maintenance access protocols. Check for compatibility with existing conduit entries if knockouts are not pre-drilled.

Selection Notes

Select this model when stainless steel durability is mandatory due to corrosive agents or strict hygiene standards. The threaded cover offers superior sealing compared to standard screw covers. Consider the external dimensions for mounting space constraints. Verify that the 304 grade suffices for the specific chemical exposure profile of the installation site.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A90S4 series of pull boxes manufactured by nVent Hoffman. It serves as a junction point for electrical wiring systems. The series is designed for robust industrial applications where environmental sealing and material integrity are critical for long-term operational reliability.

Replacement Considerations

Substitute only with identical specifications: 304 stainless steel, NEMA 4X/IP66 rating, and matching 10x8x4 inch dimensions. Generic enclosures lacking the threaded cover or oil-resistant gasket do not provide equivalent protection.
