Overview

The nVent A8812RT is a NEMA Type 3R rated wiring trough constructed from durable steel with a gray finish, providing reliable protection for electrical wiring, cable distribution, junctions, and terminations in outdoor environments. Measuring 8.00 x 8.00 x 12.00 inches, it is designed to safeguard against falling rain, sleet, snow, and external contaminants, making it suitable for industrial facilities, commercial installations, and exposed locations where environmental exposure is a concern. The trough features a screw-cover design for a secure closure, protecting internal components from moisture and debris. For added security, an optional Padlock Hasp Kit (APLK3R) is available to prevent unauthorized access. The A8812RT meets UL 870 and CSA C22.2 No. 26 standards for raintight enclosures, ensuring compliance with industry requirements for outdoor electrical protection. Its construction includes a drip shield top and seam-free sides, front, and back to prevent water ingress. The trough offers versatile mounting options, including side or back mounting, and is an ideal solution for wire and cable management in exposed locations where durability and weather resistance are critical. The gray finish provides additional corrosion resistance, extending the product's lifespan in harsh conditions.
