Hammond Manufacturing releases HWHK series wall mount steel enclosures

May 30, 2016 – The HWHK series from Hammond Manufacturing is a family of “easy to open, yet secure,” wall mount enclosures designed to house electrical and/or electronic equipment in harsh industrial environments.

Available as standard in 30 sizes in six heights from 24 to 60 in., five widths from 16 to 36 in. and five depths from 6 to 16 in., the range is engineered for use in heavy industrial plants, utility, outdoor municipal or other locations where the enclosure sits in harsh conditions and is frequently opened for internal equipment access, says Hammond. Access is via a zinc die-cast handle with padlock provision, which operates a three point roller latch locking system that gives “excellent sealing with minimum effort” in opening and closing the door. Manufactured from 14 gauge mild steel, finished with a recoatable ANSI 61 grey powder coating to both the interior and exterior, the HWHK meets the requirements of UL 508 Type 3R, 4 and 12, CSA Type 3R, 4 and 12, NEMA 3R, 4, 12 and 13 and IP66 to IEC 60529.
