Finished with a dipcoat-primed, powder-coated textured coating in RAL 7035, the PB Series enclosure carries NEMA 12, NEMA 13, and NEMA 4 protection ratings, shielding internal control devices from dirt, dust, sprayed water, oil, and coolants in demanding indoor environments.

Rittal 8017664 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Rittal 80176 pushbutton enclosure be used outdoors?
It is built as an indoor enclosure. The NEMA 12, 13, and 4 ratings cover dirt, dust, sprayed water, oil, and coolant on the plant floor, but nothing in the rating set addresses outdoor exposure such as rain, sleet, or ice. For an outdoor wall-mounted box, look at a NEMA 3R unit like the ABB Q-Line NEMA 3R enclosure instead.
2) Which size PB Series pushbutton box do I need for one operator?
All four sizes hold exactly one device: the box is punched with 1 hole in 1 row and 1 column regardless of size. The sizes (W x H) run 69 x 82 mm, 82 x 88 mm, 101 x 101 mm, and 101 x 203 mm. Pick the smaller 69 x 82 mm or 82 x 88 mm for a tight machine mount; step up to 101 x 101 mm or 101 x 203 mm when you need room behind the panel for contact blocks, a transformer-type pilot light, or wire terminations.
3) I need a two- or three-button station. Can I use this box?
Not as supplied. Every size of the PB Series box here is a single-hole configuration, one hole in one row and one column. For a two- or three-operator station you need a multi-hole PB box, not a larger single-hole one. The 101 x 203 mm size is taller but still only punched for one device.
4) Does the Rittal pushbutton box come with mounting hardware or do I have to buy it separately?
Wall mounting brackets and captive cover screws ship with the enclosure. Captive screws matter on a control station because the cover screws stay with the lid instead of dropping into the machine when a tech opens it. You supply the fasteners into the wall or machine frame, the cord grip or conduit hub, and the pushbutton itself.
5) Is the Rittal PB Series box steel or stainless, and will it hold up around coolant?
Carbon steel, not stainless. Housing and cover are dipcoat primed then powder coated with a textured finish in RAL 7035, which is what gives it corrosion resistance around oil and coolant spray indoors. In a washdown or food-processing area where stainless is specified, this is not the right box.
6) What is the difference between a pushbutton box like this and a general-purpose enclosure?
A pushbutton box comes pre-punched for the operator, so there is no drilling, deburring, or loss of the NEMA rating from a field-cut hole. This Rittal PB box arrives with a 30.5 mm hole and brackets ready to hang. A general-purpose housing such as the ABB CR Series industrial enclosure or the Square D EM3570ENC, which is built to take PowerLogic EM357x meters, is sized around what goes inside rather than around a single operator opening. Use the pre-punched box for control stations and the general-purpose box when you are laying out components on a subpanel.
7) Does NEMA 4 on this box mean I can hose it down?
NEMA 4 covers hosedown and splashing water, and this enclosure carries it alongside NEMA 12 and NEMA 13 for dust, dripping liquids, and oil or coolant. Two conditions still apply on the job: the rating holds only if the cover is closed on its gasket with the captive screws drawn down, and the conduit or cord entry you add has to be rated to match, since a non-rated fitting is the weak point, not the box.
8) How does the ABB CR Series enclosure compare with the Rittal 80176 PB Series box?
Both are industrial electrical enclosure housings. The ABB CR-104PEG11 is from ABB's CR series of industrial electrical enclosure housings. The Rittal 80176 is a PB Series pushbutton box in carbon steel, dipcoat primed and powder-coated in RAL 7035, offered in 69 x 82 mm, 82 x 88 mm, 101 x 101 mm and 101 x 203 mm sizes, each with one 30.5 mm operator hole and shipped with captive cover screws and wall mounting brackets. If your requirement is a defined 30.5 mm single-operator opening with those NEMA 12, 13 and 4 ratings, the Rittal PB box is the one specified to it.
9) I need to house more than one pushbutton. Is the Rittal 80176 the right choice?
The Rittal 80176 PB Series box is a single-hole configuration: one hole, one row, one column at 30.5 mm, so it takes one pushbutton, selector switch or pilot light. The largest size, 101 x 203 mm, is still a single-operator box. For a multi-device station you would want a larger general-purpose industrial housing such as the ABB CR series rather than a PB single-hole box.
10) Will this pushbutton enclosure match the color of my existing Rittal control panels?
The finish is RAL 7035 light grey, the same standard shade Rittal uses across its industrial enclosure lines, so a pendant or wall station built from these boxes reads as part of the same install rather than a bolt-on. Both the housing and the cover are finished, not just the outside face.
