Overview

Enhance the versatility of your nVent disconnect enclosures with the nVent Blank Adapter Plate (SKU: A3456BAP). This mild steel adapter plate is designed to seamlessly cover disc cutouts, allowing you to repurpose existing disconnect enclosures into standard Type 12 enclosures when disconnects are not installed. This significantly expands application possibilities for your electrical infrastructure, offering a cost-effective solution for various industrial environments. Crafted from heavy-gauge mild steel with a durable gray finish, the A3456BAP ensures robust protection and a professional appearance, maintaining the integrity of your enclosure's environmental rating. When paired with the optional UBP model, the enclosure can be upgraded to a Type 4 enclosure. Each plate includes an oil-resistant gasket for a dust-tight and oil-tight seal, crucial in demanding industrial settings. Mounting hardware and installation instructions are provided. Door hardware is not supplied and must be ordered separately from the disconnect manufacturer for specific enclosure models like Bulletin A25. Manufactured in the USA.
