Rittal 8018138 Nema 4X Junction Box Hinged Cover Ss

Product Description

The RITTAL 8018138 is a stainless steel hinged cover junction box rated NEMA 4X and IP66, designed to house dense wiring and sensitive instruments in demanding environments. Constructed from brushed stainless steel with a Grain 240 surface finish, the enclosure provides corrosion resistance suited for wet, washdown, and industrial locations. The foamed-in-place gasket combined with a knife-edge perimeter seal delivers reliable ingress protection against water, dust, and contaminants. A 180-degree hinge and slotted insert quarter-turn latch allow full door swing and secure closure. A mounting plate is included. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers for this type of enclosure.

The 8018138 is well suited for electrical and instrumentation applications in commercial, industrial, and processing environments where corrosion resistance and a high ingress protection rating are required. Typical installations include control panels, junction points for field wiring, and enclosures for small PLCs or transmitters in food processing, chemical, marine, and outdoor settings. The hinged cover design speeds access during service or wiring changes without removing fasteners.
