Thomas Betts NC1086 Polycarbonate Enclosure Nema 4X

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS NC1086 is a standard polycarbonate electrical enclosure rated for NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 3SX, 3X, 4, and 4X environments. Measuring 8 inches wide, 10 inches high, and 6 inches deep, it houses electrical components, controls, or instrumentation in both indoor and outdoor installations. The clear polycarbonate construction allows visual inspection of interior contents without opening the cover. A hinged flat cover with captive screws and integrated swing panels streamlines access during service. Electricians and control panel builders install this enclosure in commercial and light industrial settings where moisture, dust, and impact resistance are required. It carries cULus Listed and UL Listed 50 certifications.

The NC1086 suits applications where a compact, multi-rated enclosure is needed for terminal blocks, PLCs, relays, disconnect switches, or similar electrical components. Its NEMA 4X rating makes it appropriate for wash-down areas, outdoor service panels, and corrosive environments where a steel enclosure would be a liability. Typical install scenarios include rooftop HVAC control panels, poolside electrical stations, light manufacturing floors, and utility rooms requiring a sealed, non-metallic housing.

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 mounting the enclosure. Ensure the mounting surface and conduit entry points maintain the enclosure's rated NEMA seal; use listed liquid-tight fittings appropriate for the NEMA rating of the installation. Do not modify the enclosure body in ways that compromise its impact resistance or environmental seal.
