Overview

The nVent ARF Series Rain Hood (SKU: ARF08040R5) is a mild steel protective accessory designed to shield electrical and electronic enclosures from water ingress during maintenance or operation. Engineered with a sloped roof and integrated dripstrip, this rain hood diverts precipitation away from enclosure interiors, preventing dripping water from compromising installed components when doors are opened in outdoor or harsh environments. Constructed from 1.5mm-thick mild steel with a RAL 7035 light gray powder-coated finish, the ARF08040R5 measures 77mm in height, 800mm in width, and 400mm in depth, increasing enclosure dimensions by H:60mm, D:20mm, and W:20mm upon installation. Weighing 14.3lb, this wall-mounted rain hood is ideal for protecting PLCs, VFDs, motor controllers, and other automation equipment in manufacturing, utilities, telecommunications, and renewable energy applications. The structured powder coating provides UV resistance, while additional corrosion protection primer is recommended for humid environments. Machining is required for installation, and compatibility must be verified with enclosure models and hinge types.
