Overview

The nVent ASE24X18X8 is a Type 1 screw-cover enclosure designed for indoor commercial and industrial applications requiring NEMA Type 1/IP20 protection. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a gray ANSI 61 powder-coated finish, this enclosure measures 24" x 18" x 8" (610 x 457 x 203 mm) and provides a secure housing for electrical junctions, pull boxes, and control panel components. Key features include pre-punched knockouts on all four sides for simplified conduit entry, a full-swing hinged door with slotted quarter-turn latch for tool-free access, and an inner grounding stud for safety compliance.
