GP168SS6

Overview

The GP168SS6 is a gland plate manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for use with 16-inch by 8-inch enclosures. Constructed from SS Type 316 stainless steel, this component provides a removable cable egress and entry solution while maintaining the UL/CSA/IP integrity of the enclosure. The plate features a continuous gasket seal around the edge to ensure environmental protection. It is available in a brushed finish and has a thickness of 3 mm (12 gauge). The dimensions are approximately 14.98 inches by 7.23 inches.

Feature Summary

• Provides removable cable egress and entry
• Maintains UL/CSA/IP integrity
• Continuous gasket seal around the edge

Applications

• Industrial enclosure cable management
• Environmental sealing for electrical housings
• Cable entry points requiring stainless steel construction

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure matches the 16 x 8 inch surface mount specification. Confirm that SS Type 316 material is required for the specific corrosion resistance needs of the installation environment. Ensure the gland plate is compatible with the existing gasket system to maintain the rated IP integrity. Check for any specific mounting hole patterns if direct replacement is intended.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a durable, corrosion-resistant cable entry plate is needed for larger industrial enclosures. The SS Type 316 material offers superior resistance compared to standard stainless grades. Consider the 3 mm thickness for structural rigidity. This component is suitable for applications where maintaining the enclosure's environmental rating during cable installation is critical.

Part Context

This gland plate is an accessory for Hoffman Enclosures' line of metal enclosures. It is specifically engineered to fit 16-inch by 8-inch models. The product ensures that the addition of cables does not compromise the enclosure's protective ratings. It is part of a broader range of gland plates available in various sizes and materials.

Replacement Considerations

Ensure the replacement part is SS Type 316 stainless steel to match corrosion resistance. Verify dimensional compatibility with the 16 x 8 inch enclosure model. Check that the gasket seal design is compatible with the existing enclosure frame to maintain IP integrity.
