Overview

The nVent A12R106 Screw-Cover Drip-Shield Type 3R Enclosure is a weatherproof steel housing designed for outdoor electrical and control applications. Measuring 12.00 x 10.00 x 6.00 inches (305 x 254 x 152 mm), this enclosure provides Type 3R protection against rain, sleet, and snow per NEMA standards. Constructed from 16-gauge galvanized steel, it resists corrosion in harsh environments while offering a durable, long-lasting solution for sensitive equipment. The screw-cover design features a removable lid secured with plated steel screws along the bottom edge, ensuring a tight seal to prevent water ingress. Pre-punched knockouts (pattern C-D-E-F-G) on all sides allow flexible cable entry for conduit sizes up to 2.25 inches (57 mm) horizontally and 1.06 inches (27 mm) vertically. The embossed mounting holes on the back panel simplify installation, while the gray steel finish provides a professional appearance. Ideal for outdoor lighting controls, HVAC systems, security cameras, and telecommunications cabinets, this enclosure accommodates junction points, wiring, or control components in spaces where weather resistance is critical. Its 12x10x6-inch interior offers ample room for current and future expansions, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Trust nVent’s engineering for reliable outdoor protection in manufacturing, utilities, and commercial construction.
