No. The 16126 SCGV NK is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is indoor use only and offers no protection against rain, hose-down, or dust ingress. For a wet location or an exterior wall you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead. Indoors, in a dry mechanical room, electrical room, or above-ceiling run, Type 1 is the normal choice.

It measures 16 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. That 6 inch depth is what usually decides the job, since it sets your wire bending room and whether the box will sit flush against framing or studs without projecting too far into the space.

The 16126 SCGV NK is the no-knockout version, so every conduit entry gets punched or drilled by the installer wherever you want it. That is the point of the NK designation: you place the holes to suit your raceway layout rather than working around factory knockouts. Plan on a knockout punch set for the body, which is 16 gauge galvanized steel.

Yes, it is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. Paired with the NEMA Type 1 indoor rating, that is typically what a submittal for an indoor junction or pull box calls for. It is also made in the US, which matters on Buy American and federal work.

Screw cover, with plated screws and keyhole slots on the cover so you can back the screws out part way, lift the cover off the slots, and take it down without chasing loose hardware. That makes it a one-man job even at 12.3 pounds for the assembled box. Note it is a screw cover, not a hinged door, so you need clear access in front of the box for removal.

Surface mount, using thru holes in the back of the enclosure. You fasten straight through the back panel into the wall, strut, or backboard with your own anchors or screws; mounting hardware is not part of the box. It is not designed to be recessed into a wall cavity.

The catalog number is 16126 SCGV NK from Eaton's B-Line series. The digits read out the size (16 high, 12 wide, 6 deep), SCGV is the screw cover galvanized style, and NK means no knockouts. If you want factory knockouts, that is a different suffix, so make sure the NK is on your order if you intend to punch your own entries.

It ships unfinished in galvanized steel, grey in appearance, with no paint coat. The zinc coating handles ordinary indoor humidity and is standard for concealed or utility-area work. If you need a finished look in an occupied space, or a specific color to match other gear, a painted enclosure is the better pick since this one is meant to be left bare.
