Hammond Manufacturing CSG886 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Hammond CSG886 enclosure be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The CSG886 is a Type 1 enclosure rated IP20, which means indoor use only, protection against solid objects and incidental contact, and no protection against water. Keep it indoors in a dry location. For outdoor, rain, or hose-down areas you need a Type 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.
2) Will the Hammond CSG886 pass a UL and CSA inspection on a commercial job?
Yes. The galvanized screw cover box is built to both CSA and UL standards, filed under UL file E65324 and CSA certification LR21001. Those file numbers are what an electrical inspector or a spec reviewer will want to see on the submittal.
3) What are the actual box dimensions of the Hammond CSG886 junction box?
The CSG886 is 8 inches high by 8 inches wide with a 6 inch depth, so you need roughly 8 x 8 of clear wall space and 6 inches of projection off the mounting surface. It weighs 6 lbs, light enough for a single installer to hold while fastening.
4) Is the CSG886 cover hinged or does it come off completely?
It is a screw cover, not hinged. The cover lifts away entirely once the screws are backed out, which gives you full access to the interior for pulling and splicing, but it also means you are holding the cover and the screws while you work. If you expect to open the box often for service, a hinged-cover enclosure is the easier choice.
5) Is the CSG886 enclosure galvanized or painted steel, and does it need finishing?
Galvanized steel, supplied unpainted. The zinc coating is the corrosion protection, so there is nothing to paint for ordinary indoor service. If you want a colour-matched or architectural finish in a visible area, plan on priming over the galvanizing or specifying a painted enclosure instead.
6) Does the Hammond CSG886 come with knockouts or do I drill my own conduit entries?
The CSG886 is a blank screw cover box, so conduit entries are made in the field. Lay out your hubs or connectors where your runs land, then punch the openings. Because the enclosure is only Type 1 and IP20 rated, fittings do not have to seal, but keep the holes tight to the connector so nothing is left open.
7) Does the CSG886 meet RoHS and REACH requirements for a government or institutional spec?
Yes on both. The enclosure is RoHS compliant and REACH compliant, and it is also USMCA compliant, made in Canada. That combination covers the usual procurement checkboxes for government, healthcare, and education buyers who need country of origin and materials declarations on file.
8) What is the exact part number to order the Hammond 8 x 8 x 6 galvanized screw cover box?
Order Hammond Manufacturing CSG886. That is the single catalogue number for the 8 x 8 x 6 galvanized steel screw cover enclosure, with no finish or size options to specify.
