Metal enclosures are designed to house electrical, electronic, pneumatic controls/instruments, as well as provide a degree of protection against dirt, dust, oil, and water. At Solutions Direct we offer two metal enclosure manufacturers to give our customers several options. These enclosures are constructed using the following materials: aluminum, carbon steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel. They are available in an extensive variety of covers, latching options, doors, and mounting configurations. All of our electrical enclosures meet UL, CSA, and NEMA Type 1, 3R, 4, 4X, 12, and 13 standards. Below is a list of NEMA standards and the applications they correspond to:
