Hammond Manufacturing CS24248 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Hammond CS24248 enclosure be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The CS24248 is a Type 1 enclosure with an IP20 rating, which means indoor use only, protection against contact with live parts and solid objects over 12.5 mm, and no protection against water. For outdoor, rain, or hose-down locations you need a Type 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.
2) Does the Hammond CS24248 junction box come with knockouts?
No knockouts. The CS24248 is supplied with blank walls and a blank back, so every conduit entry gets punched or drilled on site exactly where your run lands. That is the point of the no-KO version, but it does mean you need a hole saw or knockout punch set on the job and the box is mild steel, so plan for touch-up paint at any cut edge.
3) Is the Hammond CS24248 UL listed and CSA certified for an inspected commercial install?
Both. The CS24248 carries UL and CSA recognition, under UL file E65324 and CSA certification LR21001, as a Type 1 enclosure. Those are the file numbers to hand an inspector or drop into a submittal package. It is also RoHS and REACH compliant.
4) What are the actual dimensions of the Hammond CS24248 screw cover box?
24 inches high, 24 inches wide, 8 inches deep. Those are the body dimensions you lay out against the wall and the backboard, so allow the full 8 inches of depth plus cover screw clearance in front for wire bending space and gutter fill.
5) How heavy is the 24x24x8 Hammond screw cover enclosure, and does it need blocking in the wall?
It weighs 42 lbs empty. A 24 by 24 steel box at that weight should land on solid backing, plywood backboard, unistrut, or studs, not drywall anchors alone, and the weight climbs once terminal blocks and conductors go in. Factor it into a two-person lift on a ladder.
6) Is the Hammond CS24248 a screw cover or a hinged door enclosure?
Screw cover. The full cover lifts off once the perimeter screws are out, which gives you clear access to the whole 24 by 24 opening for pulling and landing conductors, but it means the cover has to be handled and set aside each time. For a panel you open routinely, a hinged cover enclosure is the better choice; for a pull box or splice box opened at install and rarely after, the screw cover is the normal pick.
7) What is the Hammond CS24248 made of, and can it be painted to match?
Mild steel construction. Mild steel takes field paint and touch-up readily, which matters because the no-knockout walls get cut on site and bare cut edges in a steel box will surface rust in a damp mechanical room. It is not stainless, so do not spec it where corrosion resistance is the requirement.
8) Is the Hammond CS24248 made in North America for USMCA or Buy-local procurement?
The CS24248 is manufactured in Canada and is USMCA compliant, which is the detail institutional and government buyers usually need for trade-agreement sourcing documentation.
