Procurement Notes

Verify the specific knockout configuration required for your application, as this model includes various sizes of easy-to-remove concentric knockouts on all sides. Confirm that the NEMA 1 rating meets your environmental protection needs, as it is suitable for indoor use only. Ensure the 6x6x3 inch dimensions fit your space constraints. Check for any accessory requirements such as internal mounting plates or cable glands not included with the base unit.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, square steel enclosure is needed for indoor environments requiring basic dust protection. The Type 1 rating makes it suitable for general industrial and commercial settings where liquid ingress is not a concern. Consider the available knockout options for cable entry flexibility. Compare with other Hoffman models if higher IP ratings or different materials like fiberglass are required for harsher conditions.
