No. The 24246 SC is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is for indoor use only, protecting against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and falling dirt. It offers no rating against rain, hose-down, dust, or oil. For a wet or outdoor location you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead.

It measures 24 inches high by 24 inches wide with a 6 inch depth, so you need a clear 24 by 24 inch wall area plus 6 inches of projection off the finished surface. That 6 inch depth is what gives you room to land and dress conductors behind the cover.

There are 9 knockouts on the sides, 9 on the top, and 9 on the bottom, so you can bring conduit in from essentially any direction without drilling or punching the box on site. If your raceway layout needs more entries than that, plan on a hole saw or a Greenlee punch in the blank steel.

It is a surface mount box with thru holes in the back pan, so it fastens flat against the wall or a mounting structure with your own bolts or lags. Fasteners are not part of the box, pick them to suit the substrate. At 37.9 pounds empty it is a two-person lift on a masonry or stud wall, and the backing needs to carry that plus the conductors.

A screw cover box is for pull, splice, and terminal points you open rarely. The cover on the 24246 SC lifts off entirely once the plated screws are out, which gives full unobstructed access to the box but means you are handling a loose 24 by 24 inch steel panel on a ladder. Keyhole slots on the cover let you back the screws part way and lift the cover off rather than removing every screw. If the box houses controls or anything checked routinely, a hinged-door enclosure is the better pick.

The body is 14 gauge carbon steel, finished in ANSI 61 gray paint. That is a heavy commercial/industrial wall thickness rather than light sheet, so it takes knocks in a mechanical room or shop without deforming. The painted carbon steel is meant for dry indoor service; in a corrosive or damp area specify stainless or a coated enclosure.

It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. Paired with the Type 1 indoor rating, that is what an inspector looks for on an indoor pull or splice box in a commercial building. It is manufactured in the US.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 24246 SC. The number reads out as the dimensions: 24 inch height, 24 inch width, 6 inch depth, with SC for the screw cover version. That naming is how you tell it from the adjacent sizes in the same series.

ANSI 61 gray is the standard industrial enclosure gray used across most B-Line painted steel boxes and panels, so a 24246 SC added to an existing run of gray enclosures will read as the same family. For property managers standardizing a facility, it is the color most control panels and gutters are already finished in.
