Overview

The nVent HOFFMAN PLM13N16 Easy Swap Adaptor Plenum (SKU: PLM13N16) is engineered to facilitate the seamless transition from legacy M13 series air conditioners to newer N16 series units without requiring any modifications to existing electrical enclosures. Constructed from durable 18-gauge steel with a light gray finish, this adaptor plenum ensures continued protection, maintaining NEMA Type 12 and IP 54 ratings when installed on compatible enclosures. Its innovative plenum design optimizes airflow, preventing the obstruction of air intake and exhaust ports that can occur with flat plate adapters. A gasket is included to guarantee a secure seal, and the precise fit to existing cutouts and mounting holes eliminates the need for drilling or cutting, simplifying installation and reducing downtime. The dimensions of the PLM13N16 are 17.65 x 14.25 x 2.62 inches (448 x 362 x 67 mm). This adaptor is specifically designed as a cross-reference for replacing Hoffman/McLean Genesis M130116G1014 and N160116G050 series air conditioners. It is an ideal solution for facilities upgrading their thermal management systems, offering a cost-effective and efficient method to replace outdated units without the expense and complexity of replacing entire enclosures. Manufactured in the US.
