Eaton 18186RTSC Nema 3R Screw Cover Box

Product Description

The EATON 18186RTSC is a NEMA 3R screw cover enclosure box designed for electrical applications requiring protection against rainfall, sleet, and external ice formation. NEMA 3R ratings make this enclosure suitable for outdoor installations where weather resistance is essential. The screw-cover design allows secure access for wiring, inspection, and maintenance. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors typically specify this type of enclosure for disconnect boxes, junction points, and control wiring exposed to outdoor conditions.

This enclosure is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor electrical installations. Common applications include service entrance equipment, meter bases, disconnect mounting, and branch circuit junction points installed on exterior walls or in partially sheltered outdoor areas. The NEMA 3R rating ensures the box meets the minimum protection level required by the NEC for outdoor-rated electrical enclosures in most jurisdictions.

Key Features

• NEMA 3R rating provides protection against rain, sleet, and ice accumulation

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before opening or wiring the enclosure. Ensure all conduit entries are properly sealed with appropriate fittings to maintain the NEMA 3R rating.
