ASE16X12X8

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures ASE16X12X8 is a NEMA Type 1 pull box constructed from 16-gauge mild steel with a polyester powder painted finish in ANSI 61 Gray. It features a flat, removable cover secured by plated steel screws utilizing unique keyhole slots for tool-free removal. The enclosure measures 16 inches in height, 12 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth. It includes multiple knockouts: eight 3/4 to 1-inch, twelve 1/2 to 3/4-inch, and four 1 to 1-1/4-inch openings. It holds UL 50/50E, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 16-gauge mild steel with a durable polyester powder painted finish
• Features a flat, removable cover with unique keyhole screw slots for easy access
• Includes pre-formed knockouts of varying sizes for flexible cable entry
• Complies with NEMA Type 1 standards for indoor use

Applications

• Indoor electrical panel installations requiring NEMA 1 protection
• Wire pulling and junction applications in commercial buildings
• Control system housing where standard indoor environmental protection is sufficient

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific project requirements align with NEMA Type 1 ratings, as this unit does not provide weatherproof or dust-tight sealing suitable for outdoor environments. Confirm that the provided knockout configurations meet the cable entry needs of the installation. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware and check that the 16-gauge steel thickness meets structural load requirements for the intended application location.

Selection Notes

Select this model when indoor protection against falling objects and limited ingress of water is required. The 16-gauge steel construction offers a balance of durability and weight. Consider the specific knockout layout if extensive field modifications are anticipated. This series is suitable for general industrial and commercial control applications where aesthetic finish and standard safety certifications are prioritized over extreme environmental resistance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman A90P1 series of pull boxes. These units are designed for standard indoor electrical distribution and control tasks. The series emphasizes ease of installation through standardized knockout patterns and secure yet accessible cover mechanisms. It serves as a fundamental building block for organizing wiring in commercial and light industrial settings within climate-controlled environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 16x12x8 inch dimensions and NEMA 1 rating. Verify that substitute models offer equivalent 16-gauge steel thickness and similar knockout configurations to avoid field modification issues. Ensure any alternative maintains UL and CUL listing for compliance.
