The Rittal VX8618.220 is a high-quality stainless steel Comfort handle for Rittal VX and VX IT enclosure systems, designed to provide secure and convenient enclosure access while maximising usable door space. Its folding action means the handle does not require additional lateral swing space, allowing more of the enclosure door surface to remain available for installed equipment.
Manufactured from durable precision-cast stainless steel, the VX8618.220 provides a robust operating interface for demanding industrial enclosure applications. The handle is prepared for type G lock inserts as well as compatible lock and push-button inserts with a maximum length of 26.5 mm, allowing the enclosure locking arrangement to be configured for specific access-control requirements.
Installation is simplified by Rittal's snap-mounted handle system, helping reduce assembly effort during enclosure configuration or handle replacement. The VX8618.220 is compatible with both VX and VX IT systems and supports UL 50E Type 1, Type 3R, Type 4, Type 4X and Type 12 enclosure applications when used as part of the appropriate complete enclosure system.
The Rittal VX Comfort handle system is designed to provide convenient enclosure access without unnecessarily reducing the door area available for equipment installation. Unlike handles requiring a lateral swing radius, the folding mechanism of the VX8618.220 keeps the operating movement compact, making it particularly useful where indicators, switches, operator controls or other devices are installed on the enclosure door.
Its interchangeable lock-insert arrangement also allows the locking system to be adapted to the security requirements of the installation. Combined with precision-cast stainless steel construction and straightforward snap mounting, the VX8618.220 provides a durable and flexible handle solution for industrial control, electrical distribution and IT enclosure applications.
