Overview

The nVent HOFFMAN Easy Swap Adaptor Plenum (SKU: PLR2N17) provides a direct replacement solution for end-of-life or damaged air conditioners in industrial enclosures. Specifically designed to bridge the gap between older Rittal Top Therm units and newer nVent HOFFMAN N17 series air conditioners, this adaptor plenum eliminates the need for costly and disruptive enclosure modifications. It seamlessly matches existing enclosure cutouts and mounting holes, ensuring a direct fit without drilling or cutting. The intelligent plenum design promotes optimal airflow, preventing intake and outtake blockage for superior cooling efficiency, unlike simple flat plates. Constructed from robust 18-gauge steel and painted in light gray to match standard nVent HOFFMAN units, it maintains NEMA Type 12 and IP 54 ratings when properly installed on a Type 12 enclosure. Installation time and labor are significantly reduced. Applications include manufacturing facilities, control cabinets, data centers, and food processing plants, ensuring the longevity and operational efficiency of sensitive electrical equipment. A gasket is included for a secure seal.
  • No modification of the enclosure required - designed to match the enclosure cut-out and mounting holes of the air conditioner being replaced
  • Plenum design allows for optimum air flow (vs. a flat plate that can block the air intake and air outtake left by the older air conditioner)
  • Gasket included
  • 18 gauge steel
  • Durable 18-gauge steel construction with a light gray finish.
