Rittal VX 8617.501 Baying Block internal - IP55
Part Number: 8617501
Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8617.501 Baying Block internal enables precise baying at VX enclosure bays for scalable electrical assemblies. In tight installations, misaligned mounting can lead to collisions with installed equipment and costly rework; this baying block provides a flush surface that accommodates top mounting while protecting adjacent components. The solution carries UL 50E Type 1 certification for electrical safety and IP55 protection, reinforcing suitability in demanding environments. By simplifying baying, it speeds assembly, improves serviceability, and reduces field adjustments. For system integrators and panel builders, the VX baying block offers reliable compatibility with VX and VX IT enclosures, while supporting scalable expansion and consistent mounting quality.

FAQs
Designed for VX and VX IT enclosures, the VX 8617.501 ships as an internal baying kit to simplify installation and alignment. For baying widths or depths exceeding 800 mm, you must use two packs to ensure secure mounting and consistent spacing. The kit includes all necessary assembly parts, the baying seal, and the baying block itself, enabling a reliable, repeatable baying process across multiple units.
Key specifications include IP55 protection against dust and water ingress and UL 50E Type 1 for electrical safety in industrial panels. The baying block is manufactured from die-cast zinc, providing high rigidity and wear resistance under repeated mounting cycles. This combination supports durable performance in challenging environments with minimal maintenance.
Yes. The side mounting creates a flush surface to the extrusion, which supports subsequent top mounting without compromising clearance or causing collisions with already-installed equipment. This approach enables cleaner panel layouts and easier expansion as your system grows.
Key certifications include UL 50E Type 1 and IP 55 protection per IEC 60 529. These standards support safety and environmental compliance for industrial enclosures and panel assemblies. The product is designed for VX systems and aligns with typical procurement classifications to aid sourcing and traceability in regulated manufacturing settings.
Each pack contains six units, with a weight of 0.978 kg per pack, and assembly parts included. Using the complete kit reduces procurement steps by delivering the baying block, seal, and parts in one purchase. Practically, this streamlines stocking, speeds on-site installation, and minimizes errors during baying, contributing to lower labor costs and faster project delivery.
