No. The 884 HC carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor use only, for protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It gives you no protection against rain, hose-down, dust or oil. For an outdoor wall or a wet mechanical room you need a Type 3R, 4 or 4X enclosure instead.

It measures 8 inches high, 8 inches wide and 4 inches deep, so it is a square-face box with a 4 inch cavity behind the cover. That 4 inch depth is what decides whether your terminal blocks, wire nuts or a small DIN rail assembly will clear the hinged door once it closes.

Knockouts are already provided: 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom and 4 on the sides. That covers straight-through raceway runs and side entries without taking a hole saw to a painted enclosure. The back is not knocked out, so conduit has to enter from the top, bottom or sides.

The 884 HC is built to UL 50 and made from 16 gauge carbon steel. That is the weight an inspector expects on a commercial junction box, and it is stiff enough that the door does not oil-can when you pull the ring. For a spec-driven job, UL 50 is the enclosure standard cited on most electrical submittals.

The hinged door is the one to pick where somebody has to open the box repeatedly, for testing, splicing changes or troubleshooting, because the cover stays attached and there are no screws to drop into a ceiling. It has a recessed pull ring and a friction dimple to hold it shut, and the cover is still removable if you want it off entirely during rough-in. A screw-cover box makes more sense where the box gets opened once and then left alone.

It is a surface-mount enclosure with thru holes in the back pan, so it bolts or screws flat to a wall, a strut channel or a piece of plywood backing. Fasteners and anchors are not part of the box, pick them for what you are landing on. At 4.7 pounds empty, a one-person install into a stud or unistrut is straightforward.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 884 HC. The number reads off the dimensions: 8 high, 8 wide, 4 deep, with HC denoting the hinged cover version of the enclosure. It is made in the US.

Painted ANSI 61 grey, which is the standard industrial enclosure color used across most B-Line, panelboard and control cabinet lines, so it reads as a match next to existing gear rather than standing out. If you are standardizing a facility on grey enclosures, this fits that scheme without field painting.
