Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required dimensions and knockout configuration. Confirm that the Type 1 rating aligns with your indoor environmental requirements. Ensure compatibility with local electrical codes requiring UL or CUL listing. Check for any specific mounting hardware needs not included with the standard enclosure.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, indoor-rated steel enclosure is needed for wire pulling or junction purposes. Consider the 3-inch depth for adequate wire bending space. Verify that the NEMA Type 1 rating is sufficient for the installation environment. Compare against galvanized options if corrosion resistance is a higher priority than the standard painted finish.

The series offers various sizes to accommodate different conduit counts and wire volumes while maintaining a consistent aesthetic and functional design language across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8x6x3 inch dimensions and Type 1 rating. Verify that alternative models include similar knockout configurations and UL/CUL listings. Ensure the replacement material and finish meet the original specification requirements for the intended application.
