Square D NC32SHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Square D NC Series surface-mount cover work on a flush-mounted panelboard box in a finished wall?
No. The NC Series NQ/NF covers listed here are surface-mount trims, made to land on a box mounted on the wall surface. A recessed box set in drywall needs a flush trim instead, because the flush version overlaps the wall opening rather than matching the box face. Check whether the existing box is surface or flush before you pick the cover.
2) Is the Square D NC panelboard cover rated for outdoor or wash-down areas?
No. This is a Type 1 (NEMA 1) cover, which is general-purpose indoor protection only, no rain, no hose-down, no dust-tight sealing. For outdoor or wet locations you need a different NC enclosure rating; the NC Series is offered in Type 2, 3R, 4, 4X, 5 and 12 as well as Type 1.
3) Does this Square D cover fit both NQ and NF panelboards?
Yes. The NC Series hinged surface covers are part of Square D's modular NQ/NF panelboard enclosure system and are built for both NQ and NF interiors, so long as the box size matches one of the three offered: 20 x 32, 20 x 56, or 20 x 68 inches.
4) Does ordering a Square D NC Series cover include the panelboard box and interior?
No. This is the enclosure cover only. The NQ/NF system is modular, so the box, the panelboard interior with its bus and breakers, and the cover are ordered separately and matched by size. Buying the NC68SHR gets you the trim for a 20 x 68 inch box, nothing more.
5) What torque should the panelboard cover fasteners be tightened to?
Cover fasteners on the NC Series hinged front are rated 10 to 12 lb-in. Use a torque screwdriver in that range; overtightening on a sheet steel trim distorts the door line and the hinged front stops sitting flat.
6) Is this Square D panelboard cover UL listed for a commercial inspection?
It carries a cULus listing, which covers both US and Canadian requirements. Combined with the NEMA Type 1 indoor rating, that is what an inspector looks for on a general-purpose indoor panelboard in a commercial building, data center, or office.
7) Is the front of this panelboard cover hinged or a removable dead-front plate?
Hinged. The front plate swings open for access to breakers and wiring during installation and service, instead of coming off entirely as a lift-out trim would. That matters in tight electrical closets, where you need swing clearance in front of the panel.
8) Where is the Square D NC panelboard cover made, for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin is the United States. On a government or institutional job carrying domestic-content language, that is the line item your submittal needs.
9) What is the Square D NC cover made of, and will it match the other panels in my building?
Steel with a gray finish, which is Square D's standard panelboard trim color. If your existing NQ or NF panels are Square D gray steel, a replacement NC cover will match the rest of the electrical room.
