Enclosure for Pedestal Mounting
The Wiegmann WC08C08 is a metallic sloped-top enclosure designed for pedestal mounting in industrial environments. It provides NEMA 12 and 13 rated protection for electrical components against dust, dirt, and dripping liquids. The carbon steel body features a gray ANSI 61 polyester powder finish for corrosion resistance.
Suits Indoor Industrial Wiring
This enclosure suits installers who need a compact, wall-free mounting point for bus plugs or terminal blocks inside factories or control rooms. The hinged cover with captivated screws allows quick access during maintenance without losing hardware. Buyers who require knockouts for conduit entry or a larger usable depth should look at alternative models.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous operation the 14-gauge carbon steel construction maintains structural rigidity while the neoprene gasket preserves the NEMA seal against temperature cycling. The sloped top prevents liquid pooling on the cover during wash-downs or condensation events. Captivated cover screws remain secure despite vibration from nearby machinery over long periods.

Will the NEMA 12, 13 rating protect components if I keep older bus plugs inside?
Yes, the NEMA 12, 13 rating with a neoprene gasket and captivated cover screws maintains a dust-tight, oil-tight seal around legacy bus plugs.
How do I confirm the ANSI 61 gray polyester powder finish meets the UL, CSA, NEMA standards listed?
Verify the UL and CSA labels on the enclosure body and check that the gray finish matches the ANSI 61 reference colour on the nameplate.
