Overview

The nVent APS9 Panel Support Kit (SKU: APS9) provides essential reinforcement for industrial enclosures, specifically designed to support panels mounting heavy electrical or electronic components. This kit is ideal for free-standing or multi-door enclosures where additional panel stability is required. The APS9 accommodates panel thicknesses ranging from 2.88 inches (73mm) to 8.50 inches (216mm), offering a versatile solution for various enclosure configurations. Each kit includes two heavy-gauge steel panel supports finished in white for corrosion resistance. The unique telescoping collar stud mechanism allows for precise height adjustment, ensuring optimal load distribution. A polyethylene-covered foot on each support evenly distributes the panel's weight, preventing damage to the enclosure's interior finish. Integrated locknuts are included to maintain the set adjustment, preventing accidental changes, especially under dynamic loads or during maintenance procedures. The APS9 is a crucial accessory for applications in manufacturing automation, building management systems, renewable energy installations, and transportation infrastructure, enhancing long-term reliability and simplifying installation.
