Nvent Hoffman C8C12 Steel Junction Box Nema 12 13

Product Description

The NVENT HOFFMAN C8C12 is a steel junction box electrical enclosure rated for NEMA 12 and 13 environments. Measuring 12 inches wide, 8 inches high, and 7.09 inches deep, it provides a robust housing for protecting electrical components and connections from dust, oil, and non-corrosive coolants. Constructed from 14-gauge steel with a gray polyester powder coat finish, this enclosure is built for demanding industrial and commercial applications. It ships complete with captive cover screws, a continuous hinge, a control panel, and an oil-resistant gasket. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This enclosure is suited for use in industrial facilities, manufacturing environments, and commercial buildings where electrical components must be shielded from dust, splashing water, and oil or coolant mist. The hinged sloped cover design allows quick access to internal components while the integrated oil-resistant gasket maintains the enclosure seal under typical NEMA 12 and 13 service conditions. It is appropriate for housing terminal blocks, relays, PLCs, and similar control components in panel-build and field-installation scenarios.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style junction box enclosure for industrial and commercial electrical control applications requiring NEMA 12 or 13 rated protection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before opening or wiring the enclosure. Mount the enclosure to a flat, structurally sound surface using appropriate hardware to ensure the gasket seals evenly around the full perimeter. Verify that conduit entries are sealed appropriately to maintain the NEMA rating after installation.
