Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional requirements against the 2.50 x 2.50 x 12.00 inch specifications before ordering. Confirm that the NEMA Type 12 rating meets the environmental protection needs of the installation site. Ensure compatibility with existing panel layouts, as this unit lacks pre-drilled mounting holes or knockouts. Check for required UL 870 and CSA certifications if mandated by local electrical codes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when continuous welding and a smooth interior surface are required to prevent wire damage. The NEMA Type 12 rating makes it suitable for environments where falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids are concerns. The 14-gauge steel construction offers durability for standard industrial applications. Consider the fixed 12-inch length for short-run cable routing tasks.
