IP68 Electrical Enclosures - 100% Waterproof

NEMACO - 100% Waterproof Submersible Enclosure - NEMA 6P - IP68 - Stainless Steel

100% Quality Control Tested

100% Waterproof Performance Tested – Quality Guaranteed

Nemaco has factory quality control standard procedures on all waterproof enclosures manufactured and tested before shipping to customers. The basic standard requires that every enclosure is tested for a minimum of full 24 hours under simulated environmental conditions and inspected to have no leaks on the gaskets, FPT conduit hubs, pipe fittings or windows if applicable. NEMACO will test waterproof sealed electrical connectors on request.

Standard Quality Control - Performance Testing Requirements

We test all waterproof enclosure designs to pass NEMA 6 and 6P criteria of UL 50/50E and NEMA 250 standards, ensuring protection under 6 ft (1.8 m) of water for 24 hours.

NEMACO offers a full selection of Performance Class NEMA 6 / 6P (IP67 / IP68) waterproof submersible electrical enclosure solutions for United States of America CISA (critical infrastructure security applications). Nemaco’s submersible IP68 electrical enclosures product are designed & engineered solutions for speciality 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.

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.

Top Quality Materials Only

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 for Corrosion Resistance

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 Solutions

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 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.
