EKSS20084

Overview

The nVent Hoffman EKSS20084 is a floor-standing stainless steel enclosure with dimensions of 2000 mm height, 800 mm width, and 400 mm depth. Constructed from 304 or 304L stainless steel, it features a single opaque door and provides IP66 protection against dust and water ingress. The unit is rated for NEMA Type 4X and 12 environments, ensuring durability in harsh industrial conditions. It is designed for compact vertical mounting applications requiring robust environmental sealing.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 304 or 304L stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• IP66 rated sealing against dust and powerful water jets
• Single opaque door design for secure component access
• Floor-standing configuration optimized for space efficiency

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring high environmental protection
• Outdoor electrical equipment housing in corrosive settings
• Food and beverage processing machinery enclosures
• Marine or coastal infrastructure control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific stainless steel grade (304 vs 304L) required for your application environment, as availability may vary by region. Confirm that the IP66 rating aligns with your site's exposure to water jets and dust levels. Ensure floor-mounting hardware compatibility with the base structure. Check for any regional certification requirements such as UL or CSA listings relevant to your installation location before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance and strict IP66 sealing are mandatory for floor-mounted installations. The 2000x800x400mm footprint suits applications needing substantial internal volume without excessive floor space consumption. Consider the single-door access pattern for maintenance frequency. Evaluate if the opaque door finish meets aesthetic or safety visibility requirements compared to transparent alternatives.

Part Context

The EKSS series represents nVent Hoffman's compact stainless steel enclosure line designed for demanding industrial environments. These units prioritize durability and environmental sealing over standard indoor enclosures. The EKSS20084 specifically addresses needs for tall, narrow footprints where floor space is limited but internal component density is high. It serves as a specialized solution within the broader Hoffman portfolio for heavy-duty applications.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific dimension and material combination. Verify compatibility with existing mounting bases and cable entry points when considering alternative models. Ensure any replacement maintains the IP66 rating and stainless steel construction to preserve environmental integrity.
