EKDS18164-316

Overview

The nVent Hoffman EKDS18164-316 is a stainless steel floor-standing enclosure constructed from 316L material. It features double doors and provides IP55 ingress protection. The unit measures 1800mm in height, 1600mm in width, and 400mm in depth. This multipurpose enclosure is designed for high impact resistance and superior corrosion protection in demanding industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316L stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Provides IP55 ingress protection against dust and water jets
• Features double-door configuration for secure access

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring corrosion resistance
• Outdoor equipment housing
• Chemical processing environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade (316 vs 316L) and ingress protection rating (IP55) against project requirements. Confirm dimensional accuracy (1800x1600x400mm) and door configuration (double door). Ensure compatibility with mounting surfaces and environmental conditions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance is critical due to the 316L stainless steel construction. The IP55 rating suits environments with dust and water exposure. Consider the large footprint (1600mm width) for space availability. Double doors facilitate easier access to internal components compared to single-door designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent HOFFMAN EKDS series of compact floor-standing enclosures. The series offers various sizes and materials, including 304 and 316 stainless steel options. The EKDS line is designed for robust industrial applications requiring durable protection for sensitive electronic components.

Replacement Considerations

EKDS18164-304 is a similar model but uses 304 stainless steel instead of 316L. Verify if the lower corrosion resistance of 304 steel meets environmental requirements. Other EKDS variants may differ in dimensions or door configurations.
