F1212T36HC

Overview

The Hoffman F1212T36HC is a straight section wiring trough constructed from 14-gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder finish. It features dimensions of 12.00 inches by 12.00 inches by 36.00 inches and includes a hinged cover secured by screw clamps for easy access. The unit provides NEMA Type 12, IP55, and UL 870 protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and falling objects. It holds CSA and JIC approvals for industrial electrical installations.

Feature Summary

• Hinged cover design with screw clamp mechanism for secure closure and simplified maintenance access
• Robust 14-gauge steel construction coated in ANSI 61 gray polyester powder for durability
• NEMA Type 12 and IP55 rated enclosure providing protection against dust and incidental water exposure
• Compliant with UL 870, CSA, and JIC standards for industrial safety requirements

Applications

• Protecting wire and cable distribution systems in industrial environments
• Enclosing junctions and terminations within electrical panels
• Managing cables in moist or dirty indoor applications requiring Type 12 protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix HC to confirm the inclusion of the hinged cover assembly, as standard versions may differ. Ensure the required ingress protection rating aligns with the NEMA Type 12 specification for your installation environment. Cross-reference UL 870 listing status if strict code compliance is mandated for the project. Confirm dimensional fitment within the target panel or enclosure space before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight wiring segment is needed for organizing cables without sharp bends. The 12x12 inch cross-section accommodates moderate cable bundles, while the 36-inch length allows for extended routing runs. Choose this unit over open troughs when environmental protection against dust and light moisture is necessary. The hinged cover facilitates future modifications without complete disassembly of the containment system.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman line of electrical enclosures and thermal management solutions. It serves as a standardized accessory for panel builders seeking to automate drilling and tapping processes for ready-to-populate configurations. The product supports mission-critical industrial infrastructure by providing organized and protected pathways for electrical wiring.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12x12x36 inch dimensions and NEMA Type 12 rating. Verify that alternative models include the hinged cover feature if accessibility is required. Check for equivalent UL 870 and CSA certifications to ensure regulatory compliance remains intact during substitution.
