£166.92
The Rittal VX 8640.020 is a heavy-duty base/plinth corner piece set with front and rear trim panels designed to provide a stable foundation for compatible Rittal industrial enclosures. As part of the Rittal VX base/plinth system, it combines robust sheet steel construction with a modular design that supports straightforward installation, enclosure access and flexible base configuration.
The base/plinth corner pieces feature moulded self-positioning to the enclosure and may be used with or without trim panels depending on the application. Large openings in the corner pieces provide optimum access to screw-fastening points during installation, while the supplied plastic corner and baying covers conceal these openings afterwards for a neat, professional finish.
With a height of 200 mm and compatibility with enclosures measuring 300 mm in width, the VX 8640.020 uses sheet steel corner pieces and front/rear trim panels finished in RAL 9005 black. It is suitable for a broad range of Rittal floor-standing enclosure systems where dependable support and additional clearance beneath the cabinet are required.
A correctly configured base/plinth provides a stable mounting foundation beneath a floor-standing electrical enclosure while creating useful additional space between the cabinet and installation floor. The 200 mm height of the VX 8640.020 can assist with cable routing, installation access and enclosure servicing while providing dependable mechanical support.
The Rittal VX 8640.020 combines four heavy-duty corner pieces with a modular front and rear trim panel arrangement. Side base/plinth trim panels may be added separately to finish the base/plinth unit, provide additional stabilisation between adjoining base/plinths or enable internal configuration within the base area.
