Overview

The nVent PB1818PP is an 18x18 inch perforated panel designed for Type 1 pull box enclosures. Constructed from 10-gauge steel, it features a durable ANSI 61 gray powder coat finish. The panel is perforated with 1/8-inch diameter holes on 1/4-inch staggered centers, offering versatile mounting points for electrical components such as control transformers, terminals, and contactors. This design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, as it readily accepts self-tapping screws, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. A dedicated grounding hole is included for NEC-compliant equipment grounding. The panel is formed to provide 7/16-inch clearance behind the pull box, ensuring proper screw mounting. Manufactured in the USA, this panel is ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility applications requiring reliable component mounting within Type 1 enclosures.
