Overview

The nVent ProLine G2 Drip Shield (SKU: P2ADS18) is a premium industrial-grade solution designed to enhance the protection of electrical enclosures in demanding environments. Engineered for Type 3R applications, this 1779mm (70.0 inch) drip shield mounts directly inside the door cover, providing an additional barrier against liquid contaminants, dust, and debris that could compromise enclosure integrity. The ProLine G2 series from nVent represents the gold standard in enclosure protection, combining robust construction with versatile installation options to meet the rigorous demands of industrial, commercial, and outdoor applications. At the core of the ProLine G2 Drip Shield is a 16-gauge mild steel construction finished with a durable polyester powder coat in RAL 7035 textured light gray as standard. This finish not only provides excellent corrosion resistance but also ensures a professional appearance that complements any industrial environment. The shield’s design includes a flange trough collar that prevents dust and debris from settling on the top of the enclosure, effectively increasing the depth of the trough and enhancing overall protection. For applications requiring customization, nVent offers the flexibility to specify alternative colors to match specific aesthetic or branding requirements. Installation is straightforward and efficient, with all necessary mounting hardware included. The drip shield can be mounted on either the front or rear of the enclosure, though it must be installed running left-to-right for optimal performance. The M12 mounting holes allow for secure attachment directly to the enclosure door, ensuring stability even in high-vibration environments. This versatility makes the ProLine G2 Drip Shield an ideal solution for a wide range of enclosure types, including control panels, junction boxes, and distribution boards. The ProLine G2 Drip Shield is particularly well-suited for industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities, and telecommunications, where equipment is exposed to harsh conditions. In manufacturing facilities, it protects sensitive control systems from coolant spills and airborne contaminants. In outdoor applications, such as utility substations or telecom shelters, it safeguards against rain, snow, and dust ingress, ensuring reliable operation year-round. The Type 3R rating confirms its suitability for outdoor use, providing protection against falling rain, sleet, and external ice formation. nVent, a global leader in electrical and thermal management solutions, has built a reputation for innovation and reliability in the industrial sector. The ProLine G2 series exemplifies this commitment, offering a combination of durability, performance, and ease of installation that professionals trust. By integrating the ProLine G2 Drip Shield into your enclosure setup, you not only enhance protection but also extend the lifespan of your equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and minimize the risk of costly downtime. Whether you’re retrofitting existing enclosures or specifying new installations, the ProLine G2 Drip Shield delivers the performance and peace of mind required in today’s industrial environments.
