Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN ASST042-316 Stainless Steel Rain Hood?
The nVent HOFFMAN ASST042-316 is a purpose-designed stainless steel rain hood for compatible nVent HOFFMAN stainless steel wall mounted enclosures. Part of the nVent HOFFMAN ASST accessory range, it provides additional shelter for outdoor enclosure installations and helps protect internal electrical and automation equipment from water that may otherwise accumulate above the enclosure door.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel, the ASST042-316 features a slightly sloped roof and an integrated drip strip. This design directs water away from the enclosure door gasket, reducing the risk of accumulated water dripping into the enclosure when the door is opened and providing valuable additional protection in exposed outdoor environments.
With dimensions of 59 × 400 × 210 mm, the ASST042-316 is designed for compatible wall mounted enclosures measuring 400 mm wide × 210 mm deep. Installation requires machining of the enclosure, and once fitted the rain hood increases the overall enclosure dimensions by approximately 60 mm in height, 20 mm in width and 20 mm in depth. Mounting material is supplied with the rain hood for installation.

Additional Weather Protection for Outdoor Enclosures
Outdoor electrical enclosures can collect rainwater on their upper surfaces, particularly around the door and gasket area. When an enclosure door is opened, accumulated water can potentially drip towards the protected equipment inside. The nVent HOFFMAN ASST042-316 addresses this by providing a sloped protective roof and drip strip that direct water away from the enclosure opening.
The use of AISI 316L stainless steel provides enhanced resistance to corrosion, making the rain hood particularly suitable for demanding outdoor, coastal, process and industrial environments. When correctly installed on a compatible enclosure, it provides a practical additional layer of weather protection without obstructing normal access to the equipment housed inside.
Typical Applications
- Outdoor stainless steel electrical enclosures.
- Industrial control and automation installations.
- Food and beverage processing facilities.
- Marine and coastal industrial environments.
- Process control and instrumentation installations.
- Outdoor machine building and electrical distribution systems.
