Feature Summary

• Constructed from 16 or 14 gauge steel with continuously welded and ground smooth seams for structural integrity
• Equipped with captivated cover screws threading into sealed wells to maintain enclosure seal integrity
• Includes an oil-resistant gasket and external wall-mounting brackets for secure installation
• Features a grounding nut in the body and bonding provision on the cover for safety compliance

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring Type 12 protection against dust and dripping non-corrosive liquids
• Equipment enclosures needing Type 13 protection against dust, dripping liquids, oil, and coolant
• Applications involving exposure to oil and coolant where standard gaskets may degrade
• Wall-mounted installations requiring integrated mounting hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific file number E61997 matches current regulatory requirements for your region. Confirm the steel gauge (16 or 14) aligns with mechanical load expectations. Ensure the presence of the internal detachable hinge if the model selected contains more than one column of pushbutton holes. Validate that the Type 12 and Type 13 ratings satisfy the environmental conditions of the intended installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when Type 12 or Type 13 ingress protection is mandatory. Choose based on the required steel gauge for durability against physical impact. Consider the internal detachable hinge feature if the panel layout requires multiple columns of access points. Ensure compatibility with existing wall-mounting infrastructure using the provided external brackets.
