B-Line Eaton series ground mounted panel enclosure, 72" height, 24" length, 72" width, 4, Hinged cover, ES4 enclosure, Ground mount, Large double doo

NEMA 4 is the rating on this ground mounted enclosure, so it is built for outdoor duty against windblown dust, rain, splashing water and hose-directed water. The sealing comes from a closed cell neoprene gasket behind the hinged double doors, and the shell is 12 gauge carbon steel finished in ANSI 61 grey paint. What NEMA 4 does not cover is corrosive environments or oil; for a coastal, wash-down chemical or food plant setting you want a stainless 4X instead.

It measures 72 inches high, 72 inches wide and 24 inches deep. That 72 inch width is the number that bites: a standard 36 inch commercial door leaf will not take it, so plan on a double-door opening, a knocked-out wall, or an outdoor set. It also weighs 572.8 lb empty, so rigging or a forklift is required, not two people and a dolly.

No. The ES-726024-4 is supplied with no mounting provisions inside, so there is no back panel, subpanel or rail set in the box. Budget a separate panel or mounting kit sized to the 72 x 72 interior if you are mounting gear, terminal blocks or a controls package.

The large double doors are hinged and close on a 3-point latching handle, which pulls the door tight top, center and bottom against the neoprene gasket, which is how a NEMA 4 seal is maintained across a 72 inch tall door. The handle carries a key lock with padlock provision, so you can key it or hang your own padlock for lockout or site security.

Yes, the ES4 enclosure is UL 508A, which is the standard for industrial control panels, so it is an acceptable shell for a panel shop building a listed assembly. Note it ships with no mounting provisions, so the subpanel is on you.

Ground mount only. The ES4 sits on a floor, pad or concrete base rather than hanging off a wall, which is what you want at 572.8 lb. For outdoor installs it is normal practice to set it on a housekeeping pad or channel base and anchor it; neither is included.

No knockouts. This is a blank 12 gauge carbon steel body with no mounting or hole provisions, which is standard for a NEMA 4 enclosure: any penetration you cut has to be sealed with a 4-rated hub or fitting to keep the rating intact. Plan conduit entries and order watertight hubs accordingly.

It arrives painted in ANSI 61 grey, the usual switchgear and controls colour, over carbon steel. Because the body is painted steel rather than stainless or aluminum, it takes a field topcoat fine if a facility standard calls for a different colour; just keep paint off the gasket surface and the 3-point latch hardware.

Order Eaton B-Line ES-726024-4. The number reads out of the size and rating: 72 high, 60 is not in play here, 24 deep, and the trailing 4 is the NEMA 4 rating. It is made in the US.
