F22L120

Overview

The Hoffman F22L120 is a steel junction box designed for panel mounting. It features an Xtra Small size with dimensions of 4 x 4 x 3 inches (102 x 102 x 76 mm). The enclosure provides IP66 and NEMA Type 12 protection ratings, ensuring resistance to dust and oil. It utilizes a continuous hinge design with screw clamps for secure closure and includes an oil-resistant gasket. The unit is finished in ANSI 61 Gray polyester powder paint on both interior and exterior surfaces.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge design allows for easy opening and access to internal components.
• Oil-resistant gasket ensures effective sealing against environmental contaminants.
• Bonding provision on the door facilitates proper grounding connections.

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring dust and oil protection
• Panel-mounted electrical component housing
• Enclosures for environments demanding NEMA Type 12 compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the F22L120 designation for the 4x4x3 inch steel enclosure. Confirm the requirement for the standard gray finish and continuous hinge configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts given the precise external dimensions. Check for any accessory requirements such as knockouts or conduit seals if not included in the base model specification.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, oil-resistant enclosure is required for panel mounting applications. The NEMA 12 rating makes it suitable for industrial settings where protection from dripping non-corrosive liquids and falling dirt is necessary. Consider the 3-inch depth for adequate space for terminal blocks or small controllers. Verify that the steel construction meets corrosion resistance needs for the specific environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman line of junction boxes, which are engineered for protecting electrical components in various industrial environments. The F22 series typically offers robust steel construction with standardized mounting configurations. These enclosures are commonly used in manufacturing and processing facilities where reliable protection of low-voltage controls is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other NEMA 12 steel junction boxes with identical 4x4x3 inch dimensions. Verify that replacement units maintain the same IP66 rating and continuous hinge mechanism. Ensure the mounting hole patterns and depth accommodate existing wiring and components without modification.
