EKSS18104-316

Overview

The EKSS18104-316 is a floor-standing enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., constructed from 316 stainless steel. It features dimensions of 1800mm in height, 1000mm in width, and 400mm in depth. The unit provides an IP66 ingress protection rating, ensuring dust tightness and protection against powerful water jets. This model belongs to the EKSS/EKDS product range designed for demanding industrial environments requiring high corrosion resistance.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• IP66 rated for complete dust tightness and protection against powerful water jets
• Floor-standing design suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications

Applications

• Marine and offshore equipment housing
• Chemical processing plant instrumentation
• Food and beverage industry control panels
• Wastewater treatment facility enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade certification (316 vs 316L) required for your application environment. Confirm that the IP66 rating meets local regulatory standards for your installation site. Ensure mounting infrastructure supports the weight of the stainless steel construction. Check for any specific accessory requirements such as internal DIN rails or cable glands compatible with the enclosure's entry points.

Selection Notes

Select this model when standard galvanized steel enclosures fail due to corrosive atmospheres. The 316 stainless steel offers better resistance to chlorides than 304 grades. Consider the floor-standing form factor if wall mounting space is unavailable or if larger internal volume is needed. Verify that the 400mm depth accommodates all necessary components and wiring clearance.
