EKSS20084-316

Overview

The nVent HOFFMAN EKSS20084-316 is a floor-standing enclosure constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel, designed for harsh environments requiring high corrosion resistance. It features an IP66 rating to ensure protection against dust and powerful water jets. The unit measures 2000 mm in height, 800 mm in width, and 400 mm in depth. The body, removable rear panel, and bottom plate are fabricated from 1.5 mm material, while the door utilizes 2 mm thickness for enhanced durability.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• IP66 rated ingress protection against dust and water
• Floor-standing design with integrated depth profiles for adjustable mounting plates

Applications

• Industrial environments with high moisture or chemical exposure
• Outdoor electrical installations requiring weatherproof protection
• Food and beverage processing facilities demanding hygienic materials

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific alloy designation (AISI 316L) matches project requirements for corrosion resistance. Confirm dimensional accuracy of 2000x800x400mm fits the installation footprint. Ensure the IP66 rating aligns with environmental exposure levels. Check that the single-door configuration meets access needs. Validate compatibility with internal mounting hardware specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when standard stainless steel grades are insufficient for the operating environment. The 316L composition offers better chloride resistance than 304 variants. Consider the floor-standing form factor for large-scale equipment housing. Evaluate the 400mm depth against cable management and component size requirements. Ensure the IP66 seal integrity is maintained during installation.
