B-Line Eaton series utility cabinets, 1, ANSI 61 gray paint, Protects against contact with enclosed equipment, Type 1 telephone termination cabinet,

No. The 2418 TCF carries a NEMA 1 rating, which is indoor, dry-location only. It guards against personnel contact with the enclosed equipment and keeps out falling dirt, but it offers no protection against rain, spray, hose-down, or dust ingress. For a loading dock, exterior wall, or a mechanical room that gets washed, you need a NEMA 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.

Flush mount. The 2418 TCF is built to be recessed into the wall so the trim sits close to the finished surface, which is why it is commonly specified in corridors and tenant spaces where a protruding box is not acceptable. If your wall cavity is already closed up or you are mounting to masonry or a structural column, you want a surface mount utility cabinet instead, since there is no surface trim option on this model.

The cabinet measures 19 inches high, 14 inches wide, and 19 inches in length/depth, in steel. A 14 inch width will not drop cleanly into a standard 16 inch on-center stud bay, which gives roughly 14-1/2 inches of clear opening once the studs are accounted for, so plan on framing the rough opening rather than assuming it slides in. Weight is 18 lb, light enough for one person to set and hold while fastening.

It is 12 gauge steel, which is heavier than typical light-duty pull boxes and holds its shape when cables are pulled through. It arrives finished in ANSI 61 gray paint, the standard gray used across most commercial electrical gear, so no field painting is required and it will visually match adjacent panelboards and gutters in the same finish.

The 2418 TCF is certified to CSA C22.2, so it is acceptable for Canadian installations where a CSA-certified indoor enclosure is called for. Confirm with your inspector that a NEMA 1 indoor rating suits the specific location, since the certification covers the product, not the environment you put it in.

Order Eaton B-Line model 2418 TCF. That is the single model in the family for the flush-mount, NEMA 1, ANSI 61 gray configuration; the TCF suffix is the flush telephone cabinet designation, so if a drawing calls out a surface version you are looking at a different catalog number.
