Overview

The nVent A726018SSFSD is a robust Freestand Type 12 enclosure engineered for demanding industrial environments. Constructed from high-quality SS304 brushed stainless steel, this substantial 72x60x18 inch unit offers superior corrosion resistance and durability, making it an ideal choice for applications where protection against dust, dirt, oil, and water is paramount. Its Type 12 rating signifies its suitability for indoor use, providing a NEMA 12 level of protection against falling dirt and dripping or light splashing of liquids. Designed with versatility in mind, the A726018SSFSD excels at housing complex electrical and electronic systems. Its generous dimensions are specifically tailored to accommodate large components, intricate mounting configurations, and a wide array of equipment. This includes motor starters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), contactors, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and other critical control systems. The enclosure's two-door design ensures single-access convenience for maintenance and operational checks, while the advanced three-point latching mechanism, coupled with a robust sealing system, guarantees industry-leading protection against environmental contaminants. This ensures the longevity and reliable operation of the housed equipment, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the nVent A726018SSFSD is highly adaptable. The integration of optional 19-inch rack-mounting accessories transforms this enclosure into a secure haven for sensitive rack-mounted components. This feature is particularly valuable in harsh industrial settings where standard IT equipment might otherwise be vulnerable. Industries such as automotive manufacturing, pulp and paper processing, wood products, and textiles frequently rely on enclosures like the A726018SSFSD to safeguard their essential control and automation infrastructure. When selecting an enclosure for critical industrial applications, factors such as material integrity, ingress protection, internal space, and ease of access are crucial. nVent, a trusted leader in electrical enclosure solutions, consistently delivers products that meet and exceed these requirements. The A726018SSFSD embodies this commitment, offering a reliable, long-lasting solution for protecting valuable electrical equipment in challenging operational conditions. Its brushed stainless steel finish not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its overall resilience and ease of cleaning. The US origin of this product further underscores a commitment to quality manufacturing standards.

How to Install the A726018SSFSD Enclosure

Instructions for mounting and adjusting the A726018SSFSD enclosure, including door and panel installation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Punch, Vibrating hammer (electric or air powered)

Supplies needed:

Fasteners, Metal shims, Hinge pin

  1. Prepare for Mounting

    Identify whether the enclosure is wall-mounted or floor-mounted. Wall-mounted enclosures have internal mounting means or external feet. Floor-mounted enclosures have floor stands with mounting plates. Ensure you have the proper fasteners for your chosen mounting method.

  2. Mount the Enclosure

    Secure the enclosure to the wall or floor using the appropriate fasteners in all mounting holes. For floor-mounted enclosures, ensure the floor is level or use shims under the enclosure corners as needed. For wall-mounted enclosures, ensure the mounting surface is flat to prevent door issues.

  3. Adjust Door Closing (if necessary)

    If the door does not open and close properly, or if it sags due to heavy equipment, adjust as follows: For single-door enclosures, place metal shims behind the bottom mounting foot closest to the hinge if the top of the door strikes the body opening lip. For two-door enclosures, place metal shims under the corners if the floor is not level, ensuring the doors meet evenly. Bolt the enclosure in place with doors closed before installing shims.

  4. Install the Interior Panel

    When installing the interior panel, you may need to slightly bend mounting studs to align the panel. Position the panel on the studs that line up, then use a screwdriver inserted through the panel holes to pry the remaining studs into place.

  5. Remove or Invert Print Pocket

    The print pocket on the door can be inverted or removed entirely as needed.

  6. Install Hubs and Devices

    Use agency Type rated hubs or devices of equal rating to the enclosure. Ensure hole openings and installation follow manufacturer instructions. Verify adequate hole-to-hole spacing for tightening and that installation does not interfere with the enclosure's gasket or edges. Conduit connections should be on the top, bottom, and sides.
