Overview

The nVent A24R186 is a Type 3R screw-cover drip-shield enclosure designed for outdoor electrical protection. Measuring 24 x 18 x 6 inches (610 x 457 x 152 mm), this 16-gauge galvanized steel enclosure resists corrosion and provides reliable defense against rain, snow, sleet, and dripping water. The drip-shield design directs precipitation away from the enclosure opening, preventing ingress and safeguarding sensitive controls and wiring. Key features include pre-punched knockouts on all four sides for flexible conduit entry, four captive plated screws for secure closure, and collar studs for optional panel mounting. The enclosure includes a hasp and staple for padlocking, enhancing security in industrial and commercial applications. Weighing 28 lbs, the A24R186 is built for durability in harsh environments, including industrial plants, utility substations, and agricultural facilities. Ideal for housing motor controls, HVAC components, lighting systems, and communication equipment, this enclosure meets UL 50 and UL 50E Type 3R standards. Its gray finish and robust construction ensure long-term performance with minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
