C8C20SS

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures Inc. C8C20SS is a stainless steel consolet enclosure designed for mounting small control or instrumentation devices. Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel with a #4 smooth brushed finish, it measures 8 inches in length, 20 inches in width, and 7.09 inches in depth. The unit features continuously welded and ground smooth seams with no pre-drilled holes or knockouts. It holds NEMA Types 12 and 13 ratings, ensuring protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil. The design allows positioning on either side to provide 30- or 60-degree surface access angles.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel with a #4 smooth brushed finish
• Features continuously welded and ground smooth seams without holes or knockouts
• Positionable on either side to provide 30- or 60-degree surface access
• Rated for NEMA Types 12 and 13 environments

Applications

• Mounting small control devices requiring angled access
• Instrumentation housing in industrial settings
• HMI installations where 30- or 60-degree viewing angles are necessary

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade (Type 304) and finish (#4 brushed) match project requirements. Confirm that the absence of pre-drilled holes or knockouts aligns with installation plans, as custom drilling may be required. Ensure the NEMA 12/13 rating suffices for the intended environmental exposure. Check compatibility with mounting surfaces given the consolet design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when angled access is critical for operator interaction with mounted controls. The stainless steel construction suits corrosive or hygienic environments. Consider the fixed dimensions and lack of standard knockouts during layout planning. Verify that the 14-gauge thickness meets structural needs for the intended load.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Consolet series, specialized enclosures designed to bridge the gap between vertical panels and horizontal workspaces. Unlike standard boxes, these units slope to facilitate ergonomic operation of instruments. The C8C20SS variant specifically utilizes corrosion-resistant stainless steel for durability in harsh conditions.
