ASE18X18X8SSNK

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures ASE18X18X8SSNK is a pull box featuring a screw cover, constructed from 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish. It measures 18 inches in height, 18 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth. The unit provides NEMA Type 4X and IP66 protection ratings, ensuring resistance to corrosion and environmental ingress. It holds UL 50/50E, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals for industrial safety compliance.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish for corrosion resistance
• Provides NEMA Type 4X and IP66 environmental protection ratings
• Features a secure screw cover design for the pull box application

Applications

• Industrial electrical pull boxes requiring corrosion resistance
• Outdoor or washdown environments necessitating IP66 protection
• Facilities requiring UL and CSA certified enclosure components

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the SS suffix indicating stainless steel construction and the NK designation confirming no knockouts. Confirm dimensional requirements align with the 18x18x8 inch specifications. Ensure the application environment justifies the Type 4X rating. Check for any specific regional certification requirements beyond UL/CUL/CSA before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a stainless steel pull box is required for corrosive environments. The 18x18x8 dimensions provide specific internal volume compared to deeper variants like the 10-inch depth models. The screw cover mechanism offers a secure alternative to quick-release latches. Verify compatibility with existing mounting hardware and conduit entries if knockouts are not pre-drilled.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman A90S4 series of pull boxes. It serves as a standalone enclosure component rather than a complete cabinet system. It is distinct from aluminum or painted steel alternatives due to its material composition. The part functions primarily as a junction point for wiring in harsh industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hoffman models with identical 18x18x8 dimensions and stainless steel construction, such as the ASE18X18X10NK if increased depth is acceptable. Hammond Manufacturing CS18188 is a comparable size but differs in material (steel vs. stainless) and finish. Verify exact dimensional tolerances and mounting hole patterns when cross-referencing.
