Overview

The nVent AFK2408 Floor Stand Kit (SKU: AFK2408) is a 24.00 x 8.06 inch mild steel mounting solution designed to elevate and secure nVent wall-mount or free-stand enclosures. Constructed from 12-gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder finish, this kit provides durable protection against industrial environments while meeting UL/CSA Type 4, 4X, and Type 12 ratings when installed on compatible Hoffman enclosures. Key specifications include a 24" height (610 mm) and 8.06" width (205 mm), supporting standard enclosure sizes. Installation requires drilling pilot holes into the enclosure base and bolting the stands directly—no removal of existing wall-mount brackets is necessary. Each kit includes two stands, with additional sets recommended for larger enclosures. Ideal for manufacturing, oil and gas, water treatment, and telecommunications, the AFK2408 ensures stable, elevated mounting to protect sensitive equipment from moisture, dust, and physical damage. Custom heights, depths, and finishes are available on request. Backed by nVent’s industrial-grade quality, this kit delivers reliable performance for critical infrastructure applications.
