ASG10X8X6

Overview

The ASG10X8X6 is a mild steel pull and junction box manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It features a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance and utilizes a screw-on solid cover design. The enclosure measures 10 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. It is rated NEMA Type 1, providing protection against falling dirt and limited ingress of water. This component is constructed from 12, 14, or 16 gauge steel to ensure structural durability.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from mild steel with a galvanized surface treatment
• Features a secure screw-on solid cover mechanism
• Provides NEMA Type 1 environmental protection rating

Applications

• Indoor electrical junction boxes
• Secure management of electrical connections
• Pull boxes for wire routing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gauge thickness (12, 14, or 16) required for your application, as this may vary by production batch or supplier specification. Confirm that the indoor-only NEMA Type 1 rating aligns with your installation environment. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware and conduit entries before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for indoor applications requiring basic protection against dust and dripping water. It is suitable for general industrial environments where harsh weather exposure is not a factor. Consider higher NEMA ratings if outdoor or washdown conditions are anticipated.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman ASG series of standard steel enclosures. These units are widely used in commercial and light industrial settings for organizing electrical wiring. The brand is now part of nVent, which continues to support these legacy product lines under its broader infrastructure portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NEMA 1 steel junction boxes of identical dimensions (10x8x6 inches). Verify that replacement units maintain the same gauge thickness and galvanized finish to ensure equivalent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
