EXE16168SS61

Overview

The EXE16168SS61 is a hazardous location enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It features a ZONEX HL Series design constructed from 316 stainless steel with a gray finish. The unit measures 16 inches in length, 16 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth. It holds NEMA 4X ratings and is certified for ATEX Directive 94/9/EC and IECEx standards to ensure increased safety in housing electrical components within hazardous environments.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Certified for ATEX and IECEx hazardous locations
• Features a hinge-cover design for secure access

Applications

• Housing electrical components in hazardous areas
• Industrial environments requiring ATEX compliance
• Facilities adhering to IECEx safety standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific certification documents for ATEX and IECEx compliance relevant to your operational zone before procurement. Confirm that the 316 stainless steel material meets the chemical exposure requirements of the intended installation site. Ensure the hinge-cover mechanism aligns with the maintenance access protocols required for the specific hazardous area classification.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both mechanical durability and strict hazardous location certifications are mandatory. The 316 stainless steel construction offers superior resistance compared to standard steel enclosures. Consider the 16x16x8 inch internal volume to ensure adequate space for the planned electrical assembly while maintaining the required ingress protection levels.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ZONEX HL Series, which is specifically engineered for hazardous locations. Unlike standard industrial enclosures, this series prioritizes explosion-proof integrity and certified safety ratings. The product line addresses the need for robust containment in environments where flammable gases or dusts may be present.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 316 stainless steel construction and hold equivalent ATEX and IECEx certifications. Generic NEMA 4X enclosures are not suitable replacements due to the lack of hazardous location approval. Verify dimensional compatibility if replacing an existing unit in a fixed mounting configuration.
