IP68 Electrical Enclosures - 100% Waterproof

NEMACO - IP68 Enclosure - Stainless Steel

100% Quality Control Tested

100% Waterproof Performance Tested – Quality Guaranteed

NEMACO sets the world standard for waterproof submersible enclosures. NEMACO has designed and implemented a quality coontrol process to ensure that for consistent performance & quality tracking for products. All the test data is logged and recorded for muliple forms of performance testing.

The minumnum testing standard requires every enclosure to be tested for a minimum of full 24 hours under simulated environmental conditions whereby there are no leaks on the gaskets, pipe fittings and/ or windows if applicable. NEMACO will test waterproof sealed electrical connectors on request.

Nemaco’s submersible enclosures are factory tested to ensure strong ingress protection—there is “NO WATER” inside any submersible cabinet when installed correctly per both factory technical specifications and by professional mechanical & plumbing standards and the National Electric Code (NEC).

IP68 Enclosure - Performance Testing Requirements

The definition, rating systems and testing of both IP6P and NEMA 6P enclosures are quite similar. For NEMA 6P enclosure the minimum water submersion protection is 6 feet, but IP68 is waterproof whereby the manufacturer speciies the water depth for each enclosure design. Of course, NEMA 6P enclosures can be designed more 6 feet of submersion and the same is true for IP68 at a particular depth of submersion.

Nemaco designs and manufactures the toughest waterproof IP68 electrical enclosures in the world. Also, our submersible products are designed to meet NEMA 250 standards including the Type 6 and 6P waterproof categories. Refer to our technical guides (Resource) and IP rating standard for more detailed information.

NEMACO offers a wide selection of submersible enclosure that meet IP68 rating standards and the NEMA 6P standards waterproof submersible applications. All the submersible electrical enclosure solutions are designed and rated for United States of America CISA (critical infrastructure security applications). Nemaco’s submersible IP68 electrical enclosures product are designed & engineered solutions for CISA applications. The submersible enclosures are in stainless steel, powder coated aluminum and FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) for enclosures, junction boxes, wire-ways, electrical control cabinets and other specialized equipment.

Corrosion Resistant Materials - Performance & Reliable Quality

Quality corrosion-resistant materials are used for the NEMA 6P & IP68 ratingS. Each application might be different, and our team will work with you to select the right material.

Stainless Steel Advantage - Strong & Corrosion Resistant

Nemaco offers corrosion-resistant grades of stainless steel for NEMA 6 / 6P (IP67 / IP68) enclosures. Common grades include:

  • 304
  • 304L (low carbon content)
  • 316
  • 316L (low carbon content)

You might ask:

  • Which grade has better corrosion resistance?
  • Which grade is more common and cost-effective?

Type 316 contains more nickel, molybdenum and chromium than type 304, offering superior corrosion resistance (and higher cost). Choose 316 for salt-water or chemical exposures; choose 304 when corrosion risk is lower to save cost.

Choosing between these details can be tricky—contact the Nemaco team today.

Aluminum Alloy Advantage - Low Weight & Easy Installation

Nemaco designs and manufactures submersible waterproof control cabinets using:

  • 5052 Aluminum
  • 6061 Aluminum

5052-H32 and 6061 are lightweight, thermally conductive and corrosion-resistant—ideal for telecom, lift stations, traffic control and water/wastewater treatment. Aluminum enclosures are easier to install and dissipate heat effectively. Ask Nemaco about powder-coat finishes.

Powder Coat Surface - More Corrosion Protection

To maximize longevity against harsh environments, Nemaco’s aluminum NEMA 6/6P enclosures are powder coated with UL-listed epoxy finishes in white, light grey, dark grey or black. Custom colors (hunter green, blue, yellow, orange, etc.) are available on request.
