No. The 16146-12CHQRC is a NEMA 12 enclosure, which covers indoor protection against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is not a washdown or outdoor rating, so keep it out of direct hose-down areas and away from weather exposure. The seamless poured in-place gasket is what maintains that NEMA 12 seal at the hinged cover.

It measures 16 inches high, 14 inches wide and 6 inches deep. That 6 inch depth is the number to check first when you are stacking a contactor, drive or DIN rail with wire duct behind the door, since it limits component height plus wiring space.

Yes. The 16146-12CHQRC carries UL 508A, which is the standard panel shops build listed industrial control panels to. Any field-made openings or additions still have to be made in a way that preserves the NEMA 12 rating.

Single door on a continuous piano hinge, with a pull-drawn catch to hold it closed. The full-length hinge keeps the door from sagging and keeps even pressure on the gasket; the quick-release catch means no tools to get in, which matters for a panel an operator or maintenance tech opens regularly.

Carbon steel, 16 gauge, painted ANSI 61 grey. ANSI 61 is the standard industrial grey used across most control panel and switchgear lines, so it will sit next to existing gear without looking off. Carbon steel is not the choice for corrosive or chemical areas, where stainless is the usual call.

Go hinged when the panel gets opened for adjustment, troubleshooting or reset. The 16146-12CHQRC swings on a continuous hinge with a pull-drawn catch, so there are no loose cover screws to drop or lose and one person can work it. A screw-cover box makes more sense where the enclosure is sealed once at commissioning and rarely reopened, or where you want the extra deterrent of fastened cover.
