Overview

The nVent UBP (SKU: UBP) is a mild steel blank adapter plate designed for nVent disconnect enclosures. It is used to cover flange cutouts when disconnect switches are not installed, allowing a standard disconnect enclosure to function as a Type 12 enclosure, providing protection against dust and oil ingress. When specified for use with the UBP model, the disconnect enclosure can achieve a Type 4 enclosure rating for superior protection against water and environmental elements. Constructed from heavy gauge mild steel, the UBP includes an oil-resistant gasket to maintain a dust-tight and oil-tight seal. Mounting hardware and instructions are provided for straightforward installation. Door hardware must be ordered separately for specific applications like Bulletin A22 and A25 enclosures. Compatible with nVent enclosures featuring universal cutouts (A21, A28, A4L3D, A34 series).
