EKSS16084-316

Overview

The EKSS16084-316 is a floor-standing enclosure manufactured by nVent HOFFMAN. It is constructed from 316L stainless steel and measures 1600mm in height, 800mm in width, and 400mm in depth. The unit provides an IP66 ingress protection rating. It belongs to the EKSS/EKDS product range designed for demanding industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316L stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Floor-standing design suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications
• IP66 rated to protect against dust and powerful water jets

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring high corrosion resistance
• Outdoor electrical installations exposed to harsh weather
• Chemical or marine processing facilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact dimensional requirements against the 1600x800x400mm specifications before ordering. Confirm that the 316L stainless steel material meets the specific corrosion resistance standards required for the installation environment. Ensure the floor-standing configuration aligns with the available space and structural support capabilities of the deployment site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when superior corrosion resistance is critical compared to standard 304 stainless steel options. The floor-standing format is appropriate for larger assemblies where wall mounting is not feasible. Consider the IP66 rating as sufficient for most outdoor and washdown areas, though higher ratings may be needed for direct hose-down scenarios.

Part Context

This component is part of the EKSS series, which focuses on robust stainless steel enclosures. The 316L designation indicates low carbon content, reducing sensitization during welding. This series is engineered for longevity in aggressive chemical or saline environments where standard materials would degrade rapidly over time.

Replacement Considerations

EKSS16084-304: Identical dimensions but made from 304 stainless steel, offering lower corrosion resistance.
