Overview

The ASE6X6X3 is a pull box manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for electrical wiring applications. It features a steel construction with an oil-resistant gasket and ANSI 61 Gray polyester powder paint finish. The enclosure utilizes a screw cover mechanism for secure closure and includes bonding provisions on the door. It provides NEMA 12 protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and sleet, snow, and rain. The unit measures 6 inches in width, 6 inches in height, and 3 inches in depth.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from steel with a durable gray polyester powder paint finish
• Equipped with an oil-resistant gasket to maintain environmental sealing
• Features a screw cover design for secure access and maintenance
• Includes bonding provisions on the door for grounding continuity

Applications

• Industrial control panel wiring
• Electrical junction points in manufacturing environments
• Protection of wire splices and connections in indoor industrial settings

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material gauge and knock-out configuration required for the installation site. Confirm that the NEMA 12 rating aligns with the environmental conditions of the intended application. Ensure compatibility with existing conduit entries and mounting hardware. Check for any specific regional compliance requirements beyond standard certifications before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, steel enclosure with NEMA 12 protection is needed for indoor industrial use. Consider the 6x6x3 dimensions for space-constrained panels. Verify if additional knock-outs or modifications are necessary, as the base model may require field alterations for specific conduit entries. Compare with aluminum alternatives if weight reduction is a priority over cost.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman ASE series of pull boxes, which are widely used in industrial automation and electrical distribution. The series offers various sizes and materials to suit different enclosure needs. As part of the nVent HOFFMAN portfolio, these boxes are engineered for durability and ease of installation in demanding factory environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NEMA 12 steel pull boxes of identical 6x6x3 dimensions from compatible manufacturers. Ensure the replacement maintains the same mounting hole pattern and gasket type. Verify that the alternative model offers equivalent corrosion resistance and bonding provisions.
