ASG12X8X4NK

Overview

The Hoffman ASG12X8X4NK is a NEMA Type 1 screw-cover pull box constructed from galvanized mild steel. It measures 12 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth (305mm x 203mm x 102mm). The enclosure features an ANSI 61 gray finish with a body and door thickness of 16 gauge. It includes knockouts for wiring access and lacks pre-drilled holes. The unit holds UL 50/50E, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals for indoor use.

Feature Summary

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor environments
• NEMA Type 1 rating protects against falling dirt and limited splashing water
• Screw-cover design allows secure access to internal components
• Pre-formed knockouts facilitate cable entry without additional drilling

Applications

• Power distribution systems
• Electrical panel installations
• Control circuit housing
• Wire management and splicing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific knockout configuration required for your installation, as this model includes standard knockouts but no pre-drilled mounting holes. Confirm that the 16-gauge steel thickness meets structural requirements for your intended load. Ensure the NEMA Type 1 rating aligns with the environmental conditions of the deployment site, as it is designed for indoor use only.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, indoor-rated enclosure is needed for wire pulling or simple component housing. The 4-inch depth limits component size, making it suitable for smaller junction tasks rather than complex control panels. Compare against deeper models if larger breakers or transformers require additional clearance. The galvanized finish is appropriate for dry, indoor locations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman ASG series of general-purpose enclosures. These units are standardized for industrial and commercial electrical applications requiring basic protection. The ASG line offers various dimensions and cover types to accommodate different spatial constraints and access needs within standard electrical infrastructure projects.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' NEMA Type 1 steel boxes with identical 12x8x4 inch dimensions and 16-gauge thickness. Verify that replacement units also include knockouts and match the UL/CUL listing requirements for your region.
