Why Choose the ABB EPX-VSG08 Vented Side Gland?
The ABB EPX-VSG08, manufacturer order code 1SKV321140S0001, is a vented side gland accessory designed for compatible ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution enclosures. With a specified enclosure interface of 1400 mm height × 300 mm depth, it provides a dedicated side gland arrangement for the corresponding Protecta Power enclosure configuration.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures accessory range, the EPX-VSG08 supports the integration of cable entry arrangements into low-voltage distribution assemblies. Its vented design distinguishes it from a solid gland arrangement and makes it suitable for enclosure configurations requiring the manufacturer's specified side ventilation provision.
The EPX-VSG08 is intended for professional electrical panel building, distribution board assembly and compatible enclosure modification projects. Its designated dimensions and vented configuration help installers select an accessory matched to the enclosure design rather than adapting an unrelated gland component.

Vented Side Gland Arrangements for Protecta Power Enclosures
Electrical distribution enclosures require carefully planned cable entry and enclosure ventilation arrangements. Side gland accessories provide a designated location for integrating cable routes with the enclosure, while vented variants incorporate ventilation features as part of their mechanical design.
The ABB EPX-VSG08 is specified for a 1400 mm-high, 300 mm-deep Protecta Power enclosure arrangement. These dimensions identify the intended enclosure configuration and should not be interpreted as the overall dimensions of the individual gland component.
When selecting a vented gland accessory, installers should consider the completed assembly's required ingress protection, environmental conditions, ventilation, cable entry method and enclosure compatibility. A vented accessory can affect the protection characteristics of an enclosure, so the finished assembly must be assessed against the applicable ABB installation instructions and electrical installation requirements.
