No. The 1086-12CHSC is a NEMA 12 enclosure, which covers indoor protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint, and dripping or splashing non-corrosive liquids. It is not rated for hosedown or outdoor/wet locations, so for an exterior wall or a washdown bay you need a NEMA 4 or 4X box instead. The oil-resistant gasket behind the hinged cover is what seals it for shop-floor and machine-tool environments.

It measures 10 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, and weighs 7.7 lb. That 4 inch depth is the number to check first: deep-body contactors, DIN rail with tall breakers, or anything with wire bending space stacked front to back will crowd a 4 inch box. Measure your deepest component plus door-mounted devices before committing.

The 12CHSC body has panel mount provisions, meaning the weld studs or tapped provisions are there to accept a sub-panel, but a back panel is a separate order item. If you are mounting DIN rail, terminal blocks, or a small starter, order the matching sub-panel for a 10 x 8 box along with the enclosure.

The enclosure carries a UL 508A certification, which is the standard for industrial control panels, so it is the right shell for a listed control panel assembly. The listing covers the enclosure itself; the completed panel's listing depends on how you build and label it.

It is a wall-mount box with external mounting feet, so the flanges sit outside the sealed body and the enclosure stands slightly proud of the wall surface. Nothing is drilled through the sealing surface, which keeps the NEMA 12 integrity intact. Plan your fastener layout around the feet, not the box corners.

Body is 16 gauge carbon steel finished in ANSI 61 grey paint, the standard industrial control grey, so it matches the other Eaton B-Line and most control gear already on a plant wall. 16 gauge is the usual weight for a small JIC box of this size and holds a hinged door without racking.

Hinged, on a continuous piano hinge, with plated screws closing the door against the gasket. That matters for service access: you can open it one-handed in a confined space without a second person holding a loose cover. If you need a removable screw cover instead, this is not that box.

No. JIC-style NEMA 12 boxes like the 12CHSC ship with unpunched walls so the installer locates and drills conduit entries where the job needs them. Use sealing hubs or gasketed fittings on every penetration or you lose the NEMA 12 rating the oil-resistant gasket provides.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 1086-12CHSC. The 1086 is the 10 x 8 x 6... the size prefix corresponds to the 10 inch height and 8 inch width, and 12CHSC designates the NEMA 12 continuous-hinge single-door small enclosure. Country of origin is the US.
