Enclosure for Wall-Mounted Electrical Installations

The NVENT HOFFMAN ASE18X12X4 is a carbon-steel electrical enclosure rated NEMA Type 1 and IP30 for indoor use. It measures 18 in high, 12 in wide and 4 in deep with a solid screw-on cover secured by captive screws. The powder-coated gray finish resists corrosion and the box includes mounting holes for direct wall attachment. It suits electricians and facility managers who need a listed, general-purpose junction or pull box.

Sustained Indoor Protection

The enclosure carries cUL listing per CSA C22.2 No 40, UL 50 and 50E, and meets IEC 60529 for IP30 ingress protection. Its 12/14/16 ga steel construction and powder coating maintain structural integrity and finish quality during continuous indoor operation. The captive-screw latch keeps the cover securely closed without loose hardware, supporting long-term reliability in commercial and light-industrial wiring systems.

Verify Mounting Space and Cable Entry Needs

Before ordering, confirm the available wall area accommodates the 18 by 12 in footprint and that a 4 in depth fits your conduit or cable-bending requirements. The solid cover has no knockouts or windows, so plan cable entries through the sides or back. Ensure the NEMA Type 1 rating matches the environment; it is not intended for outdoor, wash-down or hazardous locations.

Questions about this item

Does the powder-coated steel get hot or make noise when the enclosure is powered all day?

The carbon-steel body with powder-coated finish is passive; it generates no heat or sound on its own, so temperature and noise depend entirely on the equipment you install inside.

What mounting hardware must I already have to attach this 18 in by 12 in box to a wall?

The enclosure provides pre-drilled mounting holes; you supply the lag bolts, anchors or screws suited to your wall material.

Will my existing 12 ga, 14 ga or 16 ga conduit fittings connect directly to this NEMA Type 1 box?

The box meets NEMA Type 1 and IP30 with standard knockout patterns, so typical conduit connectors for those gauges fit without adapters.
