Overview

The nVent PSB16 Panel Support Brace (SKU: PSB16) provides essential structural reinforcement for 1600mm wide panels, particularly within the nVent PROLINE G2 ecosystem. This brace is designed to enhance the stability of mounting subpanels, such as the P2PJ16G, by reinforcing the vertical center sides. Its primary function is to prevent subpanel deflection under heavy loads and to mitigate vibration generated by mounted components, thereby reducing operational noise and potential wear. Constructed from galvanized steel, the PSB16 offers corrosion resistance and durability. It is supplied as a set of two brackets and attaches to the frame using a BV-M6 fastener and to the subpanel using a hex bolt, with all necessary mounting hardware included. The conductive finish ensures electrical continuity, a critical requirement for grounding and static dissipation in sensitive applications. This brace can be installed on existing systems without requiring panel removal, simplifying upgrades and maintenance. Applications include manufacturing plants, data centers, renewable energy installations, and utility/telecommunications infrastructure where panel stability and component protection are paramount.
  • Conductive steel brace; furnished in pairs
  • Braces can be installed on existing systems without removing the panel
  • Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant galvanized steel
  • Conductive finish ensures electrical continuity for grounding and static dissipation
  • Retrofit-friendly design allows installation without panel removal
