Overview

Constructed from durable 16-gauge gray steel, this screw-cover drip-shield enclosure provides robust protection against environmental elements while ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh conditions. The pre-punched knockouts (pattern C-D-E-F-G) simplify conduit entry and wiring management, reducing installation time and complexity by allowing flexible routing options for electrical connections. With a depth of 6 inches and mounting dimensions of 2.25 x 1.06 inches, it offers ample internal space for control devices, junction blocks, and wiring, accommodating a wide range of industrial applications. The secure screw-cover design ensures a weather-tight seal to prevent moisture and dust ingress, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electrical components in manufacturing, utilities, telecommunications, and water/wastewater treatment facilities. The gray powder-coated finish enhances corrosion resistance, further extending its service life in outdoor and industrial settings.
