FAQs
The VX 8001222 gland plate is designed for VX family enclosures and is compatible with VX IT and VX SE variants, as well as CX one-piece consoles and CX pedestals when using a 600 mm width. It matches a 600 mm width enclosure footprint and requires assembly parts for proper installation, ensuring a clean and configurable floor-space setup.
The gland plate provides potential equalisation via included assembly components and earthing points, improving grounding reliability. It also supports sealing of base openings, provided a sliding plate is used as required, which reduces dust ingress and maintains enclosure integrity during operation in demanding environments.
Plan for a 600 mm wide VX family installation; use the supplied assembly parts to connect earthing points and ensure proper potential equalisation. Remember the note: at least one sliding plate is required to fully seal the base opening. The plate weighs 1.82 kg per pack, aiding handling and logistics on site.
This gland plate is UL-listed according to the provided asset, supporting safety compliance. While CE conformity is commonly pursued in electrical assemblies, verify local requirements and compatibility with CE-marked components for your specific installation. The product also carries ETIM and ECLASS classifications for procurement alignment.
By enabling quick configuration of floor space and reliable earth continuity, the gland plate reduces installation time and downstream troubleshooting. Its corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel extends service life, lowering replacement frequency and maintenance costs, while compatible assembly components streamline procurement and reduce spares inventory for VX-based enclosures.
