Overview

The nVent A16P12AL is a precision-cut, anodized aluminum panel designed for Type 3R, 4, and 4X enclosures measuring 16x12 inches. Constructed from 0.10 in. (3 mm) Type 5052 H-32 aluminum, this panel delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant closure for electrical and industrial enclosures in harsh environments. The 13.00 x 9.00 inch cutout accommodates standard component mounting, while a protective plastic film on one side prevents scratches during installation. Its seamless construction features welded brackets and continuously welded seams for 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.
