Overview

The nVent Q1686ABDCC is a NEMA Type 3R junction box designed for indoor/outdoor wiring applications requiring disconnect capability. This 16.00 x 18.00 x 6.00 inch (406 x 457 x 152 mm) enclosure is constructed from copper-free aluminum with 0.081 in (2.06 mm) wall thickness and features a powder-coated ANSI 49 gray finish for corrosion resistance. The enclosure includes a gasketed cover with stainless steel hinges and screws, plus provisions for padlocking. A key feature is the external disconnect compartment that allows breaker or fuse disconnect without opening the enclosure, reducing downtime during maintenance. Weighing 15.0 lb (6.8 kg), this UL 50E listed and CSA certified box meets Type 3R requirements for protection against rain, sleet, and external ice formation. Typical applications include wiring junction boxes, pull boxes, or device enclosures where disconnect functionality is required. The closed-cell neoprene gasket and mounting feet ensure secure installation in demanding environments.
