Procurement Notes

Verify the specific finish and gasket material compatibility with your environment before ordering. Confirm that the quarter-turn fastener type matches existing hardware requirements. Check for any specific NEMA or IP certification documentation required by your industry standards. Ensure the mounting hole pattern aligns with your panel layout.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance is critical compared to standard aluminum or painted steel options. Consider the weight increase associated with stainless steel construction during installation planning. Evaluate the need for additional accessories such as cable glands or internal rails if not included. Compare dimensions against available space constraints in the target application area.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman DN series of stainless steel enclosures. These units are engineered for durability in aggressive environments. The series typically offers various sizes to accommodate different electronic component counts. The 316 grade steel distinguishes it from more common 304 grade alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 316 stainless steel enclosures of identical external dimensions. Verify internal volume and mounting point alignment when considering alternative brands. Ensure the replacement maintains the same IP66 rating and hinge configuration.
