No. The 18126 SCGV carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor, dry-location only. It gives protection against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and falling dirt, but nothing against rain, hose-down, dust ingress or corrosive atmospheres. For an exterior wall, a parking structure, or a kitchen or laundry area, step up to a NEMA 3R or 4/4X enclosure instead. Indoors in an electrical room, mechanical space, or above a ceiling in a dry plenum, Type 1 is the normal choice.

18 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. That depth is what matters most on a rough-in: 6 inches of interior space gives room for splices, terminal strips, or a small DIN rail without crowding your bending radius, and it means the box will stand 6 inches off a finished wall since it is surface mounted rather than flush.

It surface mounts through thru holes in the back of the enclosure, so you anchor straight to a wall, a strut run, or a plywood backer with your own fasteners sized to the substrate. Anchors and screws are not supplied with the enclosure. At 13.5 pounds empty, plus conductors and devices, put it into studs, masonry anchors, or Unistrut rather than drywall anchors alone.

Nine knockouts on each side, and nine on the top and nine on the bottom. That is enough entry points to feed conduit in from more than one direction without drilling the enclosure, which matters if you are using it as a pull or splice point in a multi-run raceway. Knockouts you don't use stay closed, so unused openings aren't a Type 1 concern.

A screw cover enclosure like the 18126 SCGV is the right pick where you rarely need to get inside: a junction, pull, or splice point that gets opened at install and then maybe once a year. The cover comes off entirely with plated screws, and keyhole slots on the cover let you hang it on the screws while you line it up single-handed. If the box houses controls, terminal blocks you troubleshoot, or anything an electrician opens regularly, a hinged-door enclosure is the better buy because you are not managing loose screws and a loose cover on a ladder.

It is built to UL 50, the standard for enclosures for electrical equipment, and country of origin is the United States. For government, healthcare, and education procurement where domestic sourcing and a listed enclosure are both spec line items, those are the two values to put on the submittal.

Order it as B-Line (Eaton) catalog number 18126 SCGV. The number reads as the dimensions first, 18 high by 12 wide by 6 deep, followed by SCGV for screw cover galvanized. Adjacent numbers in the same family change only the box size, so confirm all three dimensions in the number before you release the order.

No. The 18126 SCGV is a screw cover Type 1 junction box, supplied as the enclosure body and cover with plated screws. There is no back panel, no terminal strip, and no conduit fittings included, so order your connectors, bushings, and any subpanel separately if you are mounting components inside rather than just splicing.
