Overview

The nVent AFK1810SS6 Floor Stand Kit provides a secure, corrosion-resistant solution for elevating and stabilizing nVent wall-mount and free-stand enclosures. Measuring 18.00 inches in width and 10.06 inches in depth, this kit is constructed from high-grade Stainless Steel 316 with a brushed finish, ensuring exceptional resistance to moisture, chemicals, and harsh atmospheric conditions. Ideal for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, marine, and outdoor installations, the AFK1810SS6 delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. Designed for efficient installation, the floor stand kit attaches directly to the enclosure's base without requiring removal of existing wall-mount brackets.

Compatible with a range of nVent enclosure sizes, the AFK1810SS6 offers a versatile mounting solution for diverse project requirements. Its durable construction and straightforward design ensure long-term reliability, making it a practical choice for both new deployments and retrofitting existing systems.
