Overview

The nVent LP Series Continuous Hinge Enclosure (SKU: A201606LP) is a rugged, Type 4-rated industrial enclosure designed to protect sensitive electrical and electronic components in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Constructed from high-quality mild steel with a durable gray polyester powder finish—applied both inside and out—this enclosure delivers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh industrial, commercial, and utility applications. The continuous hinge design with three-sided clamps ensures a secure, tamper-resistant seal that meets IP66/IP67 standards, providing reliable protection against dust ingress, water jets, and temporary submersion. Engineered for versatility, the LP Series enclosure measures 20 inches in height, 16 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth, offering ample internal space for mounting circuit breakers, relays, PLCs, or other control components. The single-door configuration with a full-length continuous hinge simplifies access while maintaining structural integrity, reducing the risk of misalignment or hinge wear over time. Unlike traditional enclosures with separate hinges, the continuous hinge design distributes stress evenly, enhancing durability in high-vibration environments such as manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, or transportation hubs. nVent, a global leader in thermal management and electrical protection solutions, has designed this enclosure to meet the rigorous demands of industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, renewable energy, and telecommunications. The Type 4 rating ensures compliance with NEMA standards for protection against windblown dust, rain, splashing water, and ice formation, making it suitable for both sheltered and exposed outdoor installations. The gray finish not only provides aesthetic consistency but also reflects heat, reducing thermal buildup inside the enclosure—a critical factor in maintaining optimal performance of enclosed electronics. Installation is straightforward, with pre-drilled mounting holes and optional gland plates for cable entry, allowing for quick integration into existing systems. The enclosure’s compact footprint makes it a space-efficient choice for control panels, junction boxes, or distribution centers where real estate is at a premium. Whether used in a coastal facility prone to salt spray, a factory floor exposed to chemical fumes, or a remote telecom site, the nVent LP Series Continuous Hinge Enclosure delivers uncompromising protection and longevity. Trusted by engineers and technicians worldwide, nVent’s reputation for innovation and reliability ensures that this enclosure will perform consistently in the most challenging conditions.

How to Install the A201606LP Enclosure

Instructions for mounting and adjusting the A201606LP enclosure, including door and panel installation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Punch, Vibrating hammer (electric or air powered)

Supplies needed:

Fasteners, Metal shims, Hinge pin

  1. Prepare for Mounting

    Identify whether the enclosure is wall-mounted or floor-mounted. Wall-mounted enclosures have internal mounting means or external feet. Floor-mounted enclosures have floor stands with mounting plates. Ensure you have the proper fasteners for your chosen mounting method.

  2. Mount the Enclosure

    Secure the enclosure to the wall or floor using the appropriate fasteners in all mounting holes. For floor-mounted enclosures, ensure the floor is level or use shims under the enclosure corners as needed. For wall-mounted enclosures, ensure the mounting surface is flat to prevent door issues.

  3. Adjust Door Closing (if necessary)

    If the door does not open and close properly, or if it sags due to heavy equipment, adjust as follows: For single-door enclosures, place metal shims behind the bottom mounting foot closest to the hinge if the top of the door strikes the body opening lip. For two-door enclosures, place metal shims under the corners if the floor is not level, ensuring the doors meet evenly. Bolt the enclosure in place with doors closed before installing shims.

  4. Install the Interior Panel

    When installing the interior panel, you may need to slightly bend mounting studs to align the panel. Position the panel on the studs that line up, then use a screwdriver inserted through the panel holes to pry the remaining studs into place.

  5. Remove or Invert Print Pocket

    The print pocket on the door can be inverted or removed entirely as needed.

  6. Install Hubs and Devices

    Use agency Type rated hubs or devices of equal rating to the enclosure. Ensure hole openings and installation follow manufacturer instructions. Verify adequate hole-to-hole spacing for tightening and that installation does not interfere with the enclosure's gasket or edges. Conduit connections should be on the top, bottom, and sides.
