The Rittal VX8617.501 is a robust internal baying block designed for securely joining compatible Rittal VX and VX IT enclosures at the baying joint. As part of the Rittal VX baying system, it supports flexible positioning and all-round installation, making it a practical solution for constructing professional multi-enclosure suites in industrial control, automation and IT applications.
Manufactured from durable die-cast zinc, the VX8617.501 is designed to provide a strong and dependable mechanical connection between adjacent enclosures. Side mounting creates a flush surface relative to the enclosure extrusion, allowing the available installation space to be used efficiently and helping to prevent collisions with installed equipment.
The baying block is suitable for Rittal VX and VX IT enclosures and is supplied complete with a baying seal and assembly parts. For bayed enclosures with a width or depth greater than 800 mm, Rittal specifies that two packs are required for installation, making this especially relevant for larger configurations such as 1200 mm enclosure depths.
Baying accessories allow individual enclosures to be mechanically joined into larger enclosure suites for industrial control, power distribution, automation and IT installations. The Rittal VX8617.501 provides an internal connection at the baying joint while supporting flexible positioning around the joint to suit the equipment arrangement inside the enclosure.
Its side-mounting capability creates a flush surface relative to the enclosure extrusion, helping preserve usable installation space and reduce interference with installed components. Together with the supplied baying seal and assembly parts, this makes the VX8617.501 a practical solution for building secure and professionally configured Rittal VX and VX IT enclosure suites.
