Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix to confirm knockout configuration, as variants exist with or without pre-punched openings. Confirm that the galvanized finish meets environmental requirements for the intended installation location. Ensure compatibility with associated mounting kits such as AGS408 or AGS416 if wall mounting is required. Check current availability status as standard lead times may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, indoor-rated enclosure is needed for wire pulling or junction purposes. The galvanized material offers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial settings. The absence of knockouts allows for flexible conduit entry planning. Ensure the internal volume accommodates the required wire fill calculations according to applicable electrical codes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Screw-Cover Type 1 series, designed for commercial and general industrial applications. It serves as a fundamental building block for electrical infrastructure where protection from falling dirt and limited moisture ingress is sufficient. The series includes various sizes and configurations to suit different spatial and capacity requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Type 1 galvanized steel pull boxes with identical external dimensions (18x18x12) and screw-cover mechanisms. Verify that any replacement maintains the same UL and CSA listing status. Ensure the new unit also lacks knockouts if the original specification requires custom drilling.
