Overview

The nVent AVK34SS6 Louver Plate Kit is a field-installable ventilation solution for industrial enclosures requiring passive heat dissipation and moisture control. This 4.75x4.50 inch kit features 4 louvers with 0.25 inch thickness and 3.00 inch length, delivering 1.76 in² (11.35 cm²) of opening area for optimized airflow. Constructed from 14-gauge 316 stainless steel with a brushed finish, the AVK34SS6 provides superior corrosion resistance against chlorides, making it ideal for marine environments, chemical processing, and food facilities. The kit includes mounting hardware and a weatherproof gasket system to maintain NEMA 4X/IP66 compliance when installed per nVent guidelines. Installation requires a 3.50x3.00 inch cutout, easily field-cut without specialized tools. Typical applications include control panels in manufacturing, outdoor telecom cabinets, substation enclosures, and transportation systems exposed to humidity or salt spray. Unlike perforated alternatives, the louver design minimizes airflow resistance while blocking dust and debris. Compatible with nVent AFLT34 aluminum filters for enhanced particulate arrestance. Backed by UL, CE, and RoHS compliance.
