Hammond Manufacturing CS18186 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Hammond CS18186 enclosure be mounted outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The CS18186 is a Type 1 enclosure with IP20 protection, which means indoor dry locations only. It guards against incidental contact with live parts and falling dirt, and against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, but it offers no protection against water, dust, or hosedown. For outdoor, damp, or wet locations you need a Type 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.
2) Does the Hammond CS18186 come with knockouts for conduit?
It does not. The CS18186 is supplied with no knockouts, so every conduit entry has to be punched or drilled on site to suit your layout. Plan on a step bit or a knockout punch set, plus the connectors and sealing hardware, since none of that comes with the box.
3) Will the CS18186 steel enclosure satisfy an inspector on a commercial job?
It is both CSA and UL recognized, carrying CSA certification LR21001 and UL file E65324, and it is rated Type 1. That is the standard documentation an electrical inspector looks for on an indoor enclosure in a commercial or institutional building. It is also REACH, RoHS, and USMCA compliant, and manufactured in Canada, which covers most procurement paperwork on government and public-sector work.
4) What are the actual box dimensions of the Hammond CS18186, and how much depth do I have for devices?
The body measures 18 inches high by 18 inches wide with a 6 inch depth. That 6 inches is the overall box depth, so your usable space for breakers, terminal blocks, relays, or a DIN rail subpanel is that depth less the back-pan and cover allowance. For deeper gear or stacked wiring channels, step up to a deeper Hammond screw cover box.
5) How heavy is an 18x18x6 Hammond screw cover box, and do I need to back it with blocking?
Empty, it weighs 23.8 lbs. On drywall or any hollow wall that is enough to require blocking, unistrut, or a backer plate rather than drywall anchors alone, and the loaded weight goes up once a subpanel and wiring are inside. On masonry or structural steel, anchor directly.
6) Is a screw cover enclosure the right choice, or should I use a hinged door box?
A screw cover like the CS18186 fastens the lid down with screws all around. That suits terminations, junctions, and gear you rarely open, and it discourages casual access. If the panel needs opening regularly for resets, metering, or troubleshooting, a hinged cover box is the better call, because removing and reinstalling screws on an 18 x 18 cover at height gets old quickly and dropped screws are a real risk in a live panel.
7) Will a mild steel enclosure hold up in a plant or a mechanical room?
The CS18186 is mild steel, which gives it the rigidity to carry mounted components and resist knocks in industrial control and mechanical spaces. What it is not is corrosion resistant in a chemically aggressive or humid environment; mild steel in a Type 1 indoor rating is for dry, conditioned or sheltered areas. Food processing, washdown, or coastal exposure calls for stainless or a non-metallic enclosure.
8) What is the exact part number to order the Hammond 18x18x6 Type 1 screw cover box?
The manufacturer part number is CS18186, from Hammond Manufacturing. That number designates the 18 x 18 x 6 screw cover enclosure with no knockouts, so it is the one to quote if you need the blank-sided version rather than a pre-punched box.
