Range of enclosures offers unparalleled installation

Increasing hand access is the key to ensure faster installation. The EA enclosures provide up to 55% more wiring space than some alternatives, whilst a turned-out sealing face allows spanners easier parallel access to gland locknuts. Glands are fitted via the base as per industry best practice. A 3mm gland plate or sheet steel for on-site punching can be chosen.

Faster inspection is facilitated by the cut-a-way side walls not impeding good vision of all wiring. Retaining pins prevent the removable hinged lid from being dropped giving greater confidence when working quickly - especially by avoiding drop hazards from height.

The sloping lid design has more purpose than just aesthetics. Contaminants that may cause corrosion naturally spill off and are less likely to adhere to the surface. A single piece gasket provides superior sealing performance with multiple lid fixing points ensuring sealing compression is equal around the unit, further preventing any ingress potential.

Made from high grade stainless steel AISI 316L, the Hawke EA enclosure range is certified for Exe Increased Safety for use in Zone 1/2, 21/22: ATEX / IECEX / EAC TC RU / INMETRO. Not only complying with ISO 9001, the EA range is designed to exceed the latest standards and has been subjected to stringent third party tests.

Availability in nine industry standard sizes means swap-out or retrofitting existing installations with EA enclosures is a simple and quick task. A free guide to all the models is available below.
