Overview

The nVent PA2040 Side Plinth Panel (SKU: PA2040) is designed to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of nVent PF/PV plinths, specifically for combinable and semi-compact enclosure ranges. This panel provides a clean, finished appearance by covering openings on the sides of your plinths. Measuring 200x254x21mm, it features a durable Umbra Gray (RAL 7022 structured powder coating) finish, offering both resilience and a professional look suitable for demanding industrial settings. Constructed from robust 1.5 mm mild steel, the PA2040 ensures longevity. Its design incorporates double returns on every side, significantly increasing structural integrity and resistance to deformation, crucial for maintaining plinth stability under challenging operational conditions. The Umbra Gray finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, making it ideal for manufacturing plants, data centers, and other industrial environments where equipment protection is paramount. Installation is straightforward and designed to integrate with existing PF/PV plinth systems. For a complete plinth assembly, side panels PS are required. When combining multiple enclosures, the use of transversal panels PCP is recommended for cable duct support and overall system rigidity.
