The design includes drip-shield top covers on all sides without gasketing or knockouts. It holds UL 870, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals.

Feature Summary

• Galvanized steel construction with drip-shield top covers
• NEMA Type 3R rating for weather resistance
• Embossed mounting holes on the back panel

Applications

• Outdoor wire and cable distribution protection
• Protection of junctions and terminations in wet conditions
• Utility seal provision applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific project requirements align with the NEMA Type 3R rating and 14-gauge steel specifications. Confirm that the absence of knockouts and gaskets meets the installation needs. Ensure compatibility with the 72-inch length constraint for the intended routing path.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor exposure requires protection from rain and sleet but dust tightness is not critical. The 14-gauge thickness provides structural integrity for standard cable loads. Consider the lack of knockouts if pre-drilled entry points are required for specific conduit runs.
