Hubbell-Wiegmann SC0808 16-gang carbon steel electrical box cover

16-gang carbon steel cover

This replacement cover is built for SC-series enclosures and provides a 16-gang layout for industrial or commercial wiring. It suits installers who need a sturdy, code-compliant faceplate for wall-mount NEMA 1 screw-cover boxes. The fabricated carbon steel construction with a textured finish resists wear in mechanical rooms and equipment areas. Buyers looking for flush-mount hardware will need to order the matching flush covers separately.

Capacity and headroom

The cover spans an 8 by 8 inch footprint and delivers 16 gang positions for switches, receptacles or pilot devices. It handles dense control panels and multi-circuit junction points without requiring a larger enclosure. The 16-gauge steel holds its shape under normal mounting torque but is not rated for heavy equipment loads or outdoor exposure. Projects that demand NEMA 3R or 4X sealing, or more than 16 gangs, must use a different enclosure system.

Build quality and daily use

Carbon steel with a textured finish shrugs off scratches and corrosion better than plain sheet metal in dry indoor settings. The cover bolts directly to SC enclosures using standard screw-cover fasteners, so routine inspections or rewires are straightforward. Because flush covers are sold separately, retrofit jobs that require a flush profile will involve an extra procurement step. The part is restricted from sale in certain states, so verify local availability before specifying it.
