Overview

The nVent AL35 (SKU: AL35) is a plated steel latch kit designed for secure closure of Type 4 and 12 enclosures with external screw clamps. This tamper-resistant latch kit features a 7mm triangle insert, requiring a triangular key for access. Its quarter-turn (90-degree) mechanism enables quick and easy operation, ideal for maintenance workflows. The AL35 includes an internal O-ring and external gasket to ensure a watertight and dust-tight seal, meeting NEMA and UL standards for environmental protection.
