Overview

The nVent AFK2416 Floor Stand Kit, crafted from durable mild steel and finished in a neutral Gray ANSI 61, provides a robust solution for securely mounting enclosures at floor level or elevating them for improved accessibility and ventilation. This kit is specifically designed to offer versatile floor mounting capabilities for a wide range of nVent wall-mount and free-stand enclosures, ensuring your critical equipment is housed safely and efficiently.
