Overview

The nVent AFK1808 Floor Stand Kit (SKU: AFK1808) provides a secure and stable floor mounting solution for industrial enclosures. Constructed from 12-gauge mild steel with a durable ANSI 61 gray polyester powder finish, this kit is designed for robust performance. Each kit includes two stands, offering a stable base with dimensions of 18.00 inches in height and 8.06 inches in width (L dimension is 9.17 inches). The AFK1808 is compatible with most wall-mount Hoffman enclosures and can also be used to elevate free-stand enclosures. Installation is straightforward: drill holes in the bottom of the enclosure and bolt the stands directly. It is not necessary to remove existing wall-mount brackets, preserving installation flexibility. This floor stand kit helps maintain UL/CSA Type 4, 4X (stainless steel only) and Type 12 ratings when properly installed on compatible Hoffman enclosures. Recommended for enclosures larger than double-door free-stand units, two sets of floor stands may be required for optimal support. Consult factory for custom heights, depths, materials, or finishes.
