B-Line Eaton series JIC panel enclosure, 14" height, 6" length, 12" width, 12, Hinged cover, 12CHSC enclosure, Wall mount, Small single door, Externa

No. NEMA 12 covers indoor protection against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids, so the 14126-12CHSC JIC panel enclosure belongs on an indoor wall in a plant, mechanical room or shop. Hose-down, washdown or outdoor wet locations call for a NEMA 4 or 4X enclosure instead. The oil-resistant gasket here is what seals the hinged cover against dust and drips.

14 inches height, 12 inches width, and 6 inches depth. That 6 inch depth is the number to check first: with a subpanel mounted inside, deep contactors, VFDs or DIN-rail stacks with wire bending room can run out of room in a 6 inch box. It weighs 12.9 lb empty.

Yes, panel mounting provisions are built in, so a back panel can be added and fitted with plated screws. The enclosure ships as the box with a hinged cover; the subpanel itself is a separate item to specify with the order.

It carries UL 508A, the standard for industrial control panels, so it is the right shell for a control panel build rather than just a junction box. Material is 16 gauge carbon steel with a painted ANSI 61 grey finish.

It uses external mounting feet, so the fastener holes sit outside the sealed box and nothing is drilled through the enclosure wall, which is what keeps the NEMA 12 seal intact. The feet hold the body slightly off the wall surface, which is normal for wall-mount JIC boxes and leaves a gap behind the box rather than a flush fit.

The 12CHSC is the hinged version, on a continuous piano hinge, so the door swings open and stays with the box. That is what you want anywhere a tech opens the panel for troubleshooting or adjustment. A screw-cover box is the cheaper choice for a terminal or pull box that gets opened once at install, but the loose cover and dozen screws make routine access slow.

No. JIC-style enclosures like the 14126-12CHSC ship with blank walls so the installer drills and punches conduit entries where the layout needs them. Plan your hub and connector locations, and keep any top entries rated to preserve the NEMA 12 dust and drip protection.

ANSI 61 grey is the standard industrial panel color, so the painted finish on this carbon steel enclosure lines up with the vast majority of control gear and existing B-Line boxes on a wall. For a corrosive or food-processing area, an unpainted stainless enclosure is the substitution to make instead.
