ASE18X12X6SSNK

Overview

The ASE18X12X6SSNK is a stainless steel pull box enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It measures 18 inches in width, 12 inches in height, and 6 inches in depth. Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish, the unit provides NEMA Types 3R, 4, and 4X protection ratings. The design features a screw-cover configuration and includes no pre-drilled knockouts, allowing for custom cable entry planning.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from corrosion-resistant Type 304 stainless steel
• Provides watertight and dust-tight environmental protection
• Features a secure screw-cover closure mechanism

Applications

• Commercial electrical installations requiring weather resistance
• Industrial environments with corrosive agents
• Outdoor pull box applications needing high ingress protection

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific project requirements align with the absence of factory-installed knockouts, as this model requires field drilling for cable entries. Confirm that the NEMA 4X rating meets local environmental standards for moisture and dust exposure. Ensure the physical dimensions fit the designated installation space before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this model when stainless steel durability is required over standard steel enclosures. The lack of knockouts offers flexibility for custom wiring layouts but necessitates additional preparation tools. Compare against similar Hoffman models to ensure the 18x12x6 internal volume matches the component count and wire gauge requirements of the specific circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures pull box series designed for electrical distribution. It serves as a junction point for wires, facilitating connections between different circuits or equipment. The stainless steel construction distinguishes it from painted steel alternatives, offering superior longevity in harsh conditions where rust prevention is critical for infrastructure integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hoffman stainless steel pull boxes with identical external dimensions and NEMA 4X ratings. Verify compatibility with existing mounting hardware and conduit sizes when swapping units.
