Hammond c3r886hcr Junction Box Nema 3R 8x8x6 Galvanized Steel

Product Description

The HAMMOND c3r886hcr is a NEMA 3R-rated galvanized steel junction box designed for electrical components that require weather protection and frequent access. The enclosure measures 8 inches high by 8 inches wide by 6 inches deep and features a hinged solid cover with snap latch closure. The 16-gauge galvanized steel body is finished in ANSI 61 powder coat gray, and an oil-resistant gasket seals the cover to keep out rain, sleet, and external ice formation. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this enclosure in outdoor and semi-exposed locations where rainproof protection is required.

This junction box is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where a NEMA 3R-rated enclosure is specified. Typical applications include outdoor service equipment, disconnect enclosures, meter accessories, and control component housings mounted on exterior walls or in utility areas exposed to weather. The hinged cover allows quick access to internal components without removing hardware. A compatible panel, model N1JP88, fits this enclosure for organized internal mounting. Knockouts are included to accommodate conduit entry from multiple sides.

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 the enclosure or making connections. Conduit entries should be sealed appropriately for the installation environment to maintain the NEMA 3R rating. Mount the enclosure to a structurally sound surface using hardware appropriate for the substrate material.
