Hammond c3r12126hcr Type 3R Hinged Enclosure 12x12x6 Steel

Product Description

The HAMMOND c3r12126hcr is a NEMA Type 3R steel enclosure with a hinged cover, designed for electrical and control equipment installations that require protection from falling dirt, rain, sleet, and external ice formation. Built from steel with a gray finish, this enclosure measures 12 x 12 x 6 inches and provides a durable housing solution for outdoor and semi-exposed indoor applications. Electricians and control panel integrators install this type of enclosure to protect terminal blocks, disconnect switches, and other electrical components from weather-related exposure.

The c3r12126hcr is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where outdoor-rated protection is required. Common applications include meter bases, disconnect enclosures, and control panel housings mounted on exterior walls or mechanical equipment pads. The hinged cover design allows repeated access to internal components without removing fasteners, making it practical for installations that require routine inspection or service access.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for enclosure ratings and mounting. De-energize all circuits before opening or wiring inside the enclosure. Ensure all conduit knockouts and fittings are properly sealed to maintain the NEMA 3R rating after installation. Mounting hardware should be appropriate for the wall or structure material to ensure a secure, level installation.
