Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures ASE18X18X6SSNK is a Type 4X pull box constructed from 304 stainless steel. It features an external screw cover design and measures 18 inches in length, 18 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. The unit is rated for outdoor use and provides NEMA 4X protection against corrosion, water, and dust ingress. This enclosure is designed for electrical wiring applications requiring high durability and environmental resistance.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• Features an external screw cover for secure access
• Rated Type 4X for outdoor environmental protection

Applications

• Outdoor electrical wiring systems
• Corrosive industrial environments
• Wet location installations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade (304 stainless steel) and dimensional accuracy (18x18x6 inches) against project requirements. Confirm the Type 4X rating is suitable for the intended outdoor or wet location application. Ensure the screw cover mechanism meets security needs. Cross-reference with official manufacturer documentation to validate compliance with relevant safety standards before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance is critical due to the 304 stainless steel construction. The 18x18x6 inch dimensions provide ample space for wire pulls compared to smaller junction boxes. The Type 4X rating makes it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions where standard enclosures might fail. Consider the weight and mounting requirements associated with metal enclosures.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman ASE series of pull boxes and enclosures. It is part of a broader range of electrical housing solutions designed for various environmental ratings. The 'SS' designation typically indicates stainless steel construction, distinguishing it from painted steel alternatives within the same dimensional family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Type 4X stainless steel pull boxes with identical 18x18x6 inch dimensions. Verify that alternative models maintain the 304 stainless steel specification and compatible mounting hole patterns. Ensure any replacement also carries the appropriate NEMA 4X certification for the specific installation environment.
