B-Line 483612-SDSS6 Eaton series wall mounted panel enclosure

The 483612-SDSS6 is a 48 x 36 x 12 inch enclosure (height x width x depth), so the usable interior height is under 48 inches. A 42-inch tall panelboard interior fits within the 48-inch dimension, but plan your gutter space and mounting panel at the top and bottom before committing. The 12-inch depth gives room for deeper breaker stabs and wire bending space.

It carries a NEMA 4X rating, which covers outdoor use, hosedown and washdown, and corrosive environments. Combined with the 316 stainless steel body, that makes it suitable for coastal, food processing, wastewater and chemical areas where painted steel would rust out.

It is built from 316 stainless steel, not 304. 316 adds molybdenum for better resistance to chlorides, so it is the grade specified for saltwater, coastal, and chemical wash environments. If your spec calls out 316 stainless specifically, this one meets it.

It weighs 124.1 lb empty. That is a two-person lift at minimum, and on a wall you want anchors sized to the loaded weight once the panel interior and conductors are in. It mounts through holes in the back, with external mounting feet available as an option if you are standing it off the wall.

It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment and their environmental type ratings. Paired with the NEMA 4X designation, that is what an inspector looks for on a wet or corrosive location install.

Both body and door are 14 gauge stainless. That is the standard wall thickness for a medium single door enclosure this size and it is what holds the door flat against the gasket so the 4X seal actually performs over time.

Hinged single door with stainless 1/4 turn latches. Quarter turns let you open it with a screwdriver or a coin rather than a key, which is fine in a controlled plant area but worth noting if your facility requires locked electrical enclosures. There is one door, not double doors, so allow the full 36-inch swing clearance in front of it.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 483612-SDSS6. The digits read as the dimensions, 48 high by 36 wide by 12 deep, with SDSS6 identifying the single door 316 stainless series.

A #4 brushed finish, the standard directional satin grain on stainless. It reads as a uniform grey rather than a mirror, hides handling marks better than a polished finish, and matches the look of other stainless equipment in a plant or kitchen so a bank of enclosures stays consistent.
