Hammond HYG1616 Hygienic Blue Silicone Gasket for HYW16168SS

The HYG1616 is the replacement hygienic N4X gasket for the HYW16168SS, the 16.00 in x 16.00 in x 8.00 in model in the HYW Series of Hygienic Type 4X Stainless Steel Wallmount Enclosures. Maintenance crews and OEMs running equipment in hose-down areas use it to restore the door seal on an installed enclosure.

HYW enclosures use a hygienic blue silicone gasket that mounts around the entire door edge, an arrangement intended for efficient cleaning in hygienic environments. Together with the internal hinge design, the edge-mounted gasket is part of what makes the enclosure easy to clean in hose-down environments. The gasket can be removed and re-installed for cleaning or replacement, so a worn or contaminated seal can be swapped without replacing the enclosure.

The HYG1616 is listed at 16 in x 16 in x 1 in (406 mm x 406 mm x 25 mm) and has a shipping weight of 2 lbs (0.91 kg). It matches the HYW16168SS enclosure, which is 16.00 in (406 mm) high (H1), 16.00 in (406 mm) wide and 8.00 in (203 mm) deep and accepts the optional 18P1313 inner panel.

The part is listed as REACH compliant and RoHS compliant, with UPC 623980138824 and UNSPSC 39121324. Keeping a HYG1616 in maintenance stores means the seal can be changed during a scheduled cleaning window.
