ASE30X30X10SSNK

Overview

The ASE30X30X10SSNK is a Type 4X wall-mounted enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish, it measures 30 inches in height, 30 inches in width, and 10 inches in depth. The unit features a single solid door secured by a screw cover mechanism. It provides NEMA 4X and IP66 protection ratings, ensuring resistance to corrosion and environmental ingress. Approvals include UL 50/50E, CUL, and CSA C22.2.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish for corrosion resistance
• Seams are continuously welded and ground smooth to prevent debris accumulation
• Equipped with an oil-resistant gasket and adhesive seal for environmental protection
• Features a captivated stainless steel cover screw threaded directly into the door

Applications

• Wall-mounted industrial control panels requiring high corrosion resistance
• Outdoor electrical installations exposed to harsh weather conditions
• Facilities requiring washdown environments or chemical exposure protection
• Applications demanding NEMA 4X and IP66 ingress protection standards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment aligns with the 304 stainless steel material specification, as this grade offers standard corrosion resistance but may differ from higher-grade alloys like 316. Confirm that the 30x30x10 inch dimensions fit the intended mounting space. Ensure that the screw-cover door type meets security and access requirements for the installation site. Check for any additional accessories needed for internal component mounting.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, corrosion-resistant enclosure is required for wall mounting. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments where standard steel would degrade. The 30-inch square footprint provides ample space for larger control assemblies. The screw cover design offers a secure closure method compared to quick-release latches. Consider the weight implications of the stainless steel construction during installation planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Type 4X series of pull-box enclosures designed for severe environmental conditions. The 'SS' suffix indicates stainless steel construction, while 'NK' denotes the screw cover configuration. It is part of a standardized line of metal enclosures used in industrial automation and power distribution. The series emphasizes durability and compliance with major safety standards including UL and CSA.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 30x30x10 inch dimensions and Type 4X rating. Verify compatibility if replacing with units featuring different latch mechanisms, such as quarter-turn handles. Ensure the replacement material is also stainless steel if corrosion resistance is critical. Cross-reference with nVent Hoffman catalogs for updated part numbers within the same dimensional family.
