Thomas Betts NJ1086 Polycarbonate Enclosure Nema 4X

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS NJ1086 is a standard polycarbonate electrical enclosure rated for NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 3SX, 3X, 4, and 4X environments. It measures 8 inches wide, 10 inches high, and 6 inches deep, making it a practical choice for housing control components, terminal blocks, and low-voltage wiring in a range of indoor and outdoor applications. The enclosure features a hinged flat cover with captive cover screws and swing panels for fast, tool-friendly access. Its impact-resistant polycarbonate construction is cULus Listed under E88685 and UL Listed 50. Electricians and controls technicians typically specify this enclosure where corrosion resistance and multiple NEMA ratings are required in a single housing.

This enclosure suits residential and light commercial electrical installations where protection from dust, rain, sleet, and hose-directed water is required. The polycarbonate body resists corrosion and is well-suited for wet or chemically active areas where metal enclosures may degrade. It is commonly used in industrial control panels, pump control stations, irrigation systems, and HVAC equipment rooms. The NEMA 4X rating makes it appropriate for washdown environments and outdoor mounting where a high degree of moisture and environmental protection is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for enclosure type and environmental rating. Power down all circuits before opening or mounting the enclosure. Ensure the mounting surface is level and structurally adequate for the enclosure weight and any internal components. Do not modify knockouts or penetrations in a way that compromises the NEMA rating of the installed enclosure.
