Overview

The nVent A10R86NK is a 10" x 8" x 6" galvanized steel screw-cover junction box designed for outdoor horizontal mounting applications, providing NEMA Type 3R protection. Constructed from 16-gauge galvanized steel with a durable ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint finish, this enclosure offers robust corrosion resistance. Its key feature is the drip-shield top, which provides a 3/4-inch overhang on each side to effectively protect against rain, sleet, and snow. The slip-on removable cover is secured with plated steel screws along the bottom edge, allowing for easy access without compromising the enclosure's integrity. This box maintains its Type 3R rating when mounted horizontally and transitions to a Type 1 rating when mounted vertically. For simplified installation, it includes embossed mounting holes on the back, enabling direct attachment to strut or mounting surfaces without the need for additional vertical structure. The absence of knockouts offers flexibility for custom conduit entry points, and a provision for padlocking ensures security. Typical applications include outdoor lighting systems, industrial control panels, telecommunications enclosures, and renewable energy infrastructure. SKU: A10R86NK. Country of Origin: US.
