Overview

The nVent HOFFMAN Type 12 SA Disconnect Enclosure (SKU: A20SA2208LPPL) is a heavy-duty steel enclosure designed for industrial disconnect switches and circuit breakers. Measuring 20 inches in height, 21.38 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth, this enclosure provides ample internal space for wiring and component mounting. Constructed from durable mild steel with a gray powder-coated finish, it delivers robust protection against dust, dirt, and dripping water per Type 12 requirements. This enclosure is optimized for compatibility with major-brand disconnect switches and circuit breakers, though nVent does not supply internal components. The integrated external handle allows safe, convenient operation of disconnect controls without opening the enclosure, reducing exposure to live components. Its NEMA Type 12 rating makes it suitable for general-purpose industrial applications, including manufacturing, food processing, and water treatment facilities where environmental contaminants pose risks to electrical systems. Key specifications include heavy-gauge steel construction, gray powder coating for corrosion resistance, and dimensions tailored for standard disconnect hardware.

How to Install Hubs on the A20SA2208LPPL Enclosure

Instructions for installing watertight conduit hubs into the A20SA2208LPPL enclosure, ensuring proper bonding and conduit entry.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hole saw or Greenlee-type punch, Wrench (for tightening hubs)

Supplies needed:

Approved watertight, rigid conduit hubs, Enclosed external toothed lockwasher, Nuts for securing the panel

  1. Prepare the Enclosure for Hub Installation

    Determine the desired location for conduit entry (top, bottom, or side). Use the provided table to find the recommended opening diameter based on the trade size of the conduit you will be using. Use a hole saw or Greenlee-type punch to cut the required holes in the enclosure.

  2. Install the Conduit Hub

    Install the approved watertight, rigid conduit hub according to the hub manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the hub is properly seated in the cut opening.

  3. Ensure Panel Bonding

    Install the enclosed external toothed lockwasher under one of the nuts that secure the panel. This ensures electrical bonding between the panel and the enclosure.

  4. Secure the Hub

    Tighten the hub's securing mechanism (e.g., locknut) to firmly attach it to the enclosure. Verify that the connection is watertight.
