Electrical enclosure side panel Rittal 8660.042 Stainless steel 500mm depth 200mm height

The Rittal 8660.042 stainless steel side panel is designed for use with base/plinth systems of electrical enclosures. It is intended to finish the side of a base/plinth unit and to provide additional stability or to adapt the interior configuration of bayed base/plinths. The panel fits base/plinths 200 mm high; on 200 mm high units either one 200 mm high panel or two 100 mm high panels can be used.

Advantages

The sheet-steel construction in stainless steel offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength appropriate for industrial environments. The panel is manufactured to match the VX base/plinth system and ensures a flush finish and improved stability for bayed configurations. The 500 mm depth and 200 mm height correspond to standard enclosure dimensions for simple integration.

How to use

Mount the side trim panel to the base/plinth unit following the VX base/plinth system assembly instructions. For a 200 mm high base/plinth, install either one 200 mm high panel or two 100 mm high panels as required. Ensure alignment with adjacent panels and secure fastenings to provide the intended stability and finish. Verify compatibility with the enclosure frame and any required gaskets or sealing elements before final tightening.

Recommendations

Use appropriate lifting and handling procedures for sheet-metal components. Inspect mounting hardware and mating surfaces for damage or deformation prior to installation; maintain stainless steel surfaces to prevent contamination from dissimilar metals.
