Fiberglass Enclosure

The use of a fiberglass enclosure over a steel or aluminum one has been proven to be a far superior choice for electrical systems. It offers a far greater level of protection, is less costly, lasts much longer, and can be fitted to any type of application. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association has thoroughly tested and approved various products for use in industries from waste water removal to highly corrosive chemical processing.

Their rating system allows for engineers, designers, contractors, and installers to know exactly what fiberglass enclosure to use for each specific application. Whether you are installing a standard house hold electrical plug or trying to protect a multi million dollar piece of equipment or machinery a well protected electrical system is the ultimate goal.
