Overview

The nVent L279 Friction Slide is a zinc-plated mild steel chassis guide designed for 19-inch rack systems and industrial enclosures. With an L-shaped profile measuring 43x259x42mm, this friction slide provides structural support for heavy equipment such as servers, power supplies, control panels, and automation components. The zinc plating enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Engineered for compatibility with standard 19-inch profile brackets, the L279 reduces mechanical stress on mounting hardware, prolonging equipment lifespan. Ideal for data centers, telecommunications, manufacturing, and energy sectors, this friction slide ensures positional stability and vibration resistance in demanding environments. Manufactured in the USA under nVent’s quality standards, the L279 offers a reliable solution for load distribution and force relief in mission-critical applications.
  • Description: To support heavy components which are only fitted to the front. Mounted between two 19" profiles. Version fixed with 2 screws per profile, and version with click-in fixation.
  • Material: Click-in version 1.5 mm and mounted version 3 mm zinc plated steel.
  • Pack quantity: 1 pair with fixing material.
  • Benefit: the forced applied to the 19-inch profile brackets by the heavy equipment is relieved creating a more reliable method of fixation
  • Comment: the support profiles are available in two versions with different loading capacities: Click-in version up to 500 N (112) and screwed version up to 1000 N (225)
