Description
FAAC Foundation Box Stainless Steel – S800 / S800H – 490113
The FAAC Stainless Steel Foundation Box is the genuine underground mounting enclosure designed for FAAC S800 and S800H hydraulic swing gate operators.
Installed below ground level beneath the gate hinge, the foundation box provides the structural housing and mounting location for the underground operator while allowing the automation system to remain concealed beneath the finished surface.
FAAC Part Number: 490113. FAAC lists the 490113 as the dedicated Stainless Steel Foundation Box for both the S800 and S800H operator families.
🛡️ Stainless Steel Construction
The 490113 is the stainless steel version of the FAAC S800 foundation box, providing increased corrosion resistance for demanding underground installations.
It is particularly suited to applications where the foundation box may be exposed to moisture and other environmental conditions associated with below-ground installation.
FAAC offers two foundation box options:
- 490112 – Standard Foundation Box
- 490113 – Stainless Steel Foundation Box
🔧 Designed for Underground Operators
The foundation box is installed beneath the gate and provides the mounting enclosure for the FAAC underground hydraulic operator.
Once installed, the automation remains almost completely hidden below ground, maintaining the appearance of the gate while providing powered swing gate operation.
The removable top cover provides access to the operator for servicing and maintenance without requiring removal of the complete foundation box.
📐 Foundation Box Dimensions
FAAC specifies the S800/S800H foundation box dimensions as:
- Length: 507mm
- Width: 283mm
- Height: 200mm
These dimensions apply to the foundation box used with the S800 and S800H underground operator systems.
