F4418SCSS

Overview

The Hoffman F4418SCSS is a Type 4X stainless steel wire trough designed for cable management in harsh environments. Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish, it measures 4 inches by 4 inches by 18 inches. The unit features continuously welded and ground smooth seams to prevent debris accumulation. It includes an oil-resistant gasket and adhesive seal, along with six captivated stainless steel cover screws threaded into the body. This configuration ensures protection against corrosion, oils, and washdowns without requiring holes or knockouts.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel with a No. 2B finish for superior corrosion resistance
• Seams are continuously welded and ground smooth to eliminate crevices
• Includes oil-resistant gasket and adhesive for enhanced environmental sealing
• Features captivated stainless steel cover screws secured directly into the trough body

Applications

• Protecting wire and cable distribution in outdoor settings
• Managing junctions and terminations in corrosive industrial areas
• Cable routing in facilities subject to frequent washdowns or chemical exposure

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required length matches the standard 18-inch specification, as custom lengths may not be available under this specific model number. Confirm that the application environment aligns with Type 4X standards, which require protection against hose-directed water and corrosion. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware, noting that this unit relies on its structural design rather than pre-drilled knockouts for installation integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance is mandatory due to the use of 304 stainless steel. The Type 4X rating makes it suitable for wet or chemically aggressive locations where standard enclosures would fail. The screw-cover design provides secure access while maintaining the sealed integrity of the trough. Consider the fixed 18-inch length for short runs or modular expansion needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman wiring trough family, specifically the screw-cover series. It serves as a raceway for organizing electrical cables. The F4418SCSS designation indicates the material (Stainless Steel), cover type (Screw), and dimensions. It is part of a broader range of cable management solutions offered by nVent Hoffman for industrial infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the source documentation. Users should verify dimensional compatibility if replacing non-Hoffman brands. Note that generic stainless steel troughs may lack the specific oil-resistant gasket and welded seam construction detailed for this model.
