The benefits of upgrading to stainless steel
equipment, coastal facilities, and locations with high salt concentrations and aggressive cleaning agents.
The latter is suitable for the harsh environments of the food and chemical industries. All the external hardware—hinges, latches, and pins—is made from stainless steel to prevent rust. Unlike spot-welded cabinets that allow water ingress through seam cracks, the EN4SDSS enclosures feature fully welded seams for enhanced structural integrity, protecting against water and dust. These enclosures offer design flexibility, with removable and interchangeable doors for ease of modification and reconfiguration. Also, the door alignment guide on 36” wide models prevent misalignment and assists in proper closure of the enclosures. In terms of protection ratings and standards, the EN4SDSS series complies with NEMA Type 3R, 4, 4X, 12, and 13, which indicate protection against wind, dust, rain, sleet, ice formation, and corrosion. The enclosure is also compliant with UL 508A Type 3R, 4, 4X, and 12, as well as CSA Type 3R, 4, 4X, and 12. These enclosures are available in a wide range of sizes, with widths from 12 inches (305 mm) to 72 inches (1829 mm), heights from 12 inches (305 mm) to 36 inches (914 mm), and depths from 6 inches (152 mm) to 12 inches (305 mm).
Additionally, Hammond Manufacturing offers the EJSS (Eclipse Junior Stainless Steel) series (Figure 2) as a stainless steel enclosure solution for wall- mount applications. They are designed for use in junction boxes and electrical wiring applications within compact installations.

Similar to the previously discussed Eclipse enclosures, the EJSS series also complies with the NEMA standards. In enclosures exceeding 4” x 4” dimensions, a galvanized steel inner panel is incorporated as standard. The panel provides a
Stainless steel enclosures The Hammond Manufacturing EN4SDSS series (Figure 1) is an example of a stainless steel wall-mount enclosure. It demonstrates advantages for rugged industrial environments. Available in 14-gauge for larger sizes and 16-gauge for smaller sizes, this series comes in 304 and 316L stainless steel grades.
