Overview

The nVent Screw-Cover Drip-Shield Type 3R Enclosure (SKU: A30R3016) is a 30x30x16-inch gray steel junction box designed for outdoor electrical protection. Built to NEMA Type 3R standards, it resists rain, sleet, snow, and dripping water while providing corrosion-resistant durability in harsh environments. The screw-cover design allows quick access for maintenance without tools, and integrated knockouts simplify cable entry for flexible wiring configurations. The gray powder-coated steel construction ensures long-term resistance to moisture and UV degradation, making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and municipal applications. Typical uses include outdoor control panels, lighting junction boxes, telecommunications housings, and HVAC control installations. Certified for outdoor exposure to falling dirt, windblown dust, and external ice formation, this enclosure meets regulatory requirements for sheltered and partially exposed locations. Installation is straightforward with proper gasket sealing, and periodic inspections ensure ongoing reliability in high-corrosion environments.
