Overview

The nVent A16P12AL is a precision-cut, anodized aluminum panel designed for Type 3R, 4, and 4X enclosures measuring 16x12 inches. Formed from 0.08" Type 5052 H-32 aluminum, this panel provides a durable, corrosion-resistant closure for electrical and industrial enclosures in harsh environments. The 13.00x9.00 inch cutout accommodates standard component mounting while a protective plastic film on one side prevents scratches during installation. Certified to UL 508A, CSA C22.2 No 94, and NEMA Type 3R, 4, 4X, 12, and 13 standards, the A16P12AL meets IEC 60529 IP66 for ingress protection against dust and water jets. Its seamless construction with welded brackets and continuously welded seams ensures structural integrity without knockouts or cutouts. The panel includes tapped studs for mounting optional inner panels and a grounding stud for electrical safety. Ideal for control panels, motor starters, VFDs, and telecommunications housings, the A16P12AL is compatible with both wall-mount and free-standing enclosure systems. The anodized finish resists UV exposure, chemical contaminants, and corrosion, extending service life in coastal, chemical processing, or high-temperature environments. Installation is simplified with pre-cut dimensions and standard hardware, while maintenance is minimized due to the durable, easy-to-clean surface.
