Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8458.000 enclosure system provides rugged, stainless steel protection for outdoor or harsh indoor environments. For engineers tasked with safeguarding critical electronics from dust, moisture, and thermal stress, this single cabinet simplifies design and deployment across global sites. It carries IP66 and NEMA 4x ratings, IK10 impact resistance, and UL 50E Type 1 compliance, helping you meet critical industry standards without multiple enclosures. The combination of corrosion-resistant materials and a modular mounting plate with pre-punched rails accelerates installation, while left-right door flexibility reduces site-specific rework. In addition, baying seal and IP66 upgrade options support scalable, compliant infrastructure across multi-site deployments.

Product description
VX Baying enclosure system IP66 / NEMA4x, WHD: 800x2000x600 mm, stainless steel, 1.4301, with mounting plate, sheet steel, zinc-plaed, single door at the front
The VX 8458.000 uses a stainless steel 1.4301 enclosure frame and door with exterior brushed finishes, delivering superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments and lowering lifecycle replacement costs. This translates to measurable uptime and reduced maintenance, particularly for outdoor or wash-down settings where metal cabinets face continuous exposure. The system includes a mount plate and two punched rails (18 x 39 mm) for flexible internal configurations, accelerating panel layout and reducing engineering time while supporting common control components. With dimensions of 800 mm width, 2000 mm height and 600 mm depth, it accommodates standard automation hardware with reliable service access. The right-hand door is standard but can be swapped to left, improving installation versatility in constrained spaces. An IP66 baying seal, gland plate, and a comprehensive accessory kit enable straightforward IP66 upgrades for scalable protection. The enclosure’s 129 kg per-pack weight emphasizes solid, theft-resistant construction that minimizes field damage during transport. PCF values (317.8 kg CO2 eq, Cat B) reflect a durable, lower-risk choice for multi-site deployments.

FAQs
Plan for a 800x2000x600 mm footprint and use the mounting plate (699x1896 mm) with the two 18x39 mm punched rails to organize PLCs, drives, and I/O. The door is hinged on the right by default but can be swapped to the left. Use the gland plate and baying seal to ensure integrity. With the IP66 upgrade kit, ensure side panels are sealed for environmental protection. Heavy lifting may require mechanical aids due to a 129 kg per-pack weight.
The enclosure provides IP66 ingress protection and NEMA4x enclosure protection, IK10 impact resistance, and UL 50E Type 1 usage. These certifications support reliable operation in demanding environments and help satisfy compliance for industrial automation installations, including CE-relevant contexts. The stainless steel construction further reinforces corrosion resistance and long-term compliance across global sites.
Yes. With IP66 protection, NEMA4x rating, and corrosion-resistant 1.4301 stainless steel, it is designed for outdoor or harsh indoor environments. The baying seal and optional IP66 upgrade kit tolerate exposure to dust, water, and temperature variations while maintaining accessibility for maintenance and service.
Upgrade is supported via the accessory kit for side panels and the baying seal package. This enables sealing enhancements to maintain IP66 integrity, enabling outdoor or wash-down applications. The enclosure already includes a comprehensive gland plate and mounting hardware to simplify the upgrade without a full cabinet replacement.
Each pack weighs 129 kg, requiring proper lifting equipment and safe handling procedures during installation. Plan logistics, forklift access, and site clearance accordingly. The heavy-gauge stainless steel construction provides durability for long service life, reducing replacement costs and downtime across multi-site deployments.
