Overview

The **nVent APS3 Panel Support Kit** (SKU: APS3) is a white steel solution designed to reinforce industrial enclosures by providing critical support for panels mounting heavy electrical or mechanical components. Each kit includes two adjustable steel supports that fit over collar studs, enabling precise height adjustment for panels under 2.25 inches (57mm) thick. The polyethylene-covered foot distributes panel weight evenly, preventing sagging, misalignment, or damage to the enclosure interior while protecting the finish from scratches or dents. Locknuts secure the adjustment, offering vibration resistance in high-dynamic environments like transportation, manufacturing, or outdoor installations. Constructed of heavy-gauge steel, the APS3 resists corrosion, making it ideal for harsh or humid industrial settings. Compatible with standard collar studs, the kit installs quickly with common tools, minimizing downtime during panel assembly or maintenance. Trusted in industrial control panels, commercial electrical enclosures, renewable energy systems, and utility infrastructure, the APS3 ensures structural integrity and operational longevity.
  • Each kit includes two adjustable panel support brackets
  • APS3 is for One-Door or Two- Door enclosures where distance from bottom of panel to bottom of enclosure is less than 2.25-in. (57-mm)
  • APS9 is for Free-stand or Multi-Door enclosure where distance from bottom of panel to bottom of enclosure is between 2.88-in. (73-mm) and 8.50-in. (216mm).
