Overview

The nVent Screw-Cover Gasketed Type 3 Enclosure (SKU: A886GSC) is a galvanized steel junction box designed for industrial environments requiring Type 3 protection. This 8.00x8.00x6.00-inch enclosure features a screw-cover design with a gasketed lid to prevent moisture and dust ingress in outdoor and indoor applications. Constructed from 14-gauge galvanized steel (G-90 grade) with a 12-gauge galvanized steel cover, it offers superior corrosion resistance in harsh conditions. The enclosure includes a grounding stud on the inside back for safety and continuous welded seams ground smooth for durability. With no pre-punched knockouts, it provides flexibility for custom conduit entry points. Typical applications include wiring and junction boxes in manufacturing facilities, pull boxes in refineries, terminal enclosures for motor controls, and outdoor installations in agricultural or marine settings. The Type 3 rating ensures protection against windblown dust, rain, and incidental contact, making it ideal for washdown environments, chemical processing sites, and food/beverage processing where corrosion resistance is critical.
