Overview

The nVent ALDF88W is a Type 1 Locking Window accessory designed for 8x8 inch (203x203 mm) pull boxes and enclosures. This accessory provides a secure method to prevent unauthorized access to switches and controls within the enclosure. Constructed from durable black steel, it offers a robust solution for maintaining operational security. The ALDF88W features a removable aluminum dead-front mounting surface, allowing for component cutouts and customization.

The Type 1 rating ensures protection against dust, dirt, and incidental contact, making it suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. Ideal applications include commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, data centers, and utility installations where access control is critical. The removable dead-front simplifies maintenance and component modification.
