Compatibility & Replacements
The 800H-NP16 enclosure cover is part of the Allen-Bradley 800H hazardous location pushbutton station family. This cover integrates with standard 800H base assemblies, operator heads, and contact block kits. It is not interchangeable with standard 800T (Type 4/13 only) covers and must be used in applications requiring NEMA 7 or NEMA 9 certification. When planning replacements or upgrades, verify that your application meets hazardous location classification requirements before installation. Consult Allen-Bradley engineering resources or your local distributor for additional component compatibility or alternative cover options if your duty cycle or operating temperature requirements change.
