Overview

The nVent AFK1808SS Floor Stand Kit provides a corrosion-resistant stainless steel 304 solution for elevating or securing industrial enclosures to the floor. This kit features a brushed finish for fingerprint resistance and surface corrosion protection, ideal for cleanroom or high-visibility applications. With a footprint of 18.00 x 8.06 inches, it accommodates a wide range of enclosure sizes while maintaining stability.

The stainless steel construction ensures resistance to rust, pitting, and chemical degradation, meeting stringent industry standards for demanding environments.
