Bottom plate Rittal VX 8618.820 — galvanized steel, 600 mm width, grey

Rittal VX 8618.820 bottom plate is a galvanized steel base plate designed for use in industrial enclosures and control cabinets. With a width of 600 mm and a grey finish, this component provides a flat, rigid mounting surface that supports electrical and electronic equipment while offering corrosion resistance typical of hot-dip galvanized steel.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction delivers durable mechanical strength and protection against rust in indoor industrial environments. The precisely formed plate ensures a stable, level surface for mounting devices, terminal strips, and cable ducts. Supplied as a single piece, the plate integrates with compatible Rittal VX enclosures and reduces the need for additional support brackets.

How to use

Install the bottom plate into the enclosure frame according to the enclosure manufacturer’s assembly instructions, aligning mounting holes and edges with cabinet rails or flanges. Secure the plate with appropriate fasteners compatible with galvanized steel and the enclosure profile. After installation, use the plate surface to mount equipment, cable ducts, or earth connections, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation and wiring paths.

Recommendations

For optimal corrosion resistance and mechanical stability, store and install the plate in a clean, dry environment and avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals. Use stainless or zinc-plated fasteners to minimize galvanic corrosion and follow local electrical installation standards when fixing live equipment.
