Eaton 24248RTSC Nema 3R Screw Cover Enclosure Box

Product Description

The EATON 24248RTSC is a NEMA 3R screw cover enclosure box designed to house and protect electrical components in outdoor and weatherproof applications. NEMA 3R-rated enclosures guard against rainfall, sleet, and external ice formation, making this box suitable for installations where moisture exposure is a concern. The screw cover design provides secure access to the interior while maintaining a tight seal during normal operation. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors typically install this type of enclosure in commercial and residential service applications.

This enclosure is suited for outdoor electrical installations where a rainproof, ventilated housing is required. Typical applications include meter sockets, disconnect switches, panelboards, and junction box assemblies mounted on exterior walls or in partially exposed service areas. The screw cover allows field access for wiring, inspection, and component changes without specialized tooling.
