Overview

The nVent ADK72HH Drip Shield Kit is a Type 12-rated accessory designed specifically for 72-inch (1829 mm) 'B' dimension free-stand and floor-mount enclosures with concealed hinges. This kit provides essential protection for door hardware by shielding it from dripping water and settling dust, ensuring the maintenance of NEMA Type 12 enclosure ratings. These ratings are critical in demanding environments such as manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, and other industrial settings where exposure to moisture and particulates is common. Constructed from durable 14-gauge steel, the ADK72HH features an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint finish, which enhances its resistance to corrosion and abrasion. The kit includes all necessary hardware for installation, such as stainless steel screws, sealing washers, hinge pins, and door clamping assemblies. Additionally, a tube of sealing compound is provided to ensure a secure and watertight seal. Designed to replace standard hardware, the ADK72HH offers long-term protection for sensitive electrical and industrial control systems housed within the enclosure. The ADK72HH is fully compatible with nVent Type 12 two-door free-stand and floor-mount enclosures that feature concealed hinges, making it a seamless and reliable solution for enhancing the durability and performance of these enclosures in harsh industrial environments.
