Quick Summary
The Rittal VX 5051.250 roof plate enables secure screw-fastened roof mounting for enclosure roofs. Eyebolts and grommets often complicate grounding and slow installation; this accessory uses contact washers for potential equalisation to simplify wiring and improve reliability. While the data sheet notes steel with a zinc-plated finish, and standard M12 threads, engineers should consider CE marking, IP ratings, and SIL safety requirements when integrating this component into a larger system. Your decision should factor in enclosure certification and environmental exposure. For business value, the solution offers faster installation, robust corrosion resistance, and reliable grounding, supporting consistent electrical safety and lower maintenance costs in industrial control panels and automation cabinets.

FAQs
Install by aligning the plate with the enclosure roof bolts and threading M12 fasteners through the plate using the supplied pan head screws. Tighten securely with a hex socket, ensuring the included serrated washers establish proper sealing and grounding. Use the contact washers for potential equalisation where a reliable electrical path is required.
The kit includes 20 pan head screws M12 x 20 with a hex socket and 20 serrated sealing washers A12.5, designed to fit the M12 thread and provide a secure, sealed mounting for the roof plate.
Yes, the plate uses M12 threading. The package specifies packs of 20 with a thread specification of M12; the weight per pack is 0.54 kg, and the supply includes 20 screws and 20 washers.
It includes contact washers for potential equalisation, improving electrical continuity and helping to mitigate ground-loop issues, which supports more reliable grounding and EMI performance in enclosure assemblies.
The roof plate features steel construction with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. This combination is well-suited for industrial enclosure applications where durability and long service life are important, though ensure compatibility with your specific environmental IP/CE/SIL requirements.
