Rittal VX 8620.052 Base/plinth corner piece - Type 1
Part Number: 8620052
Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8620.052 Base/plinth corner piece enhances enclosure stability for bayed field enclosures. Engineers often face challenges aligning multiple units and fitting trim panels consistently; this component provides moulded self-positioning to simplify setup and reduce rework. The assembly leverages 1.4301 stainless steel and UL 50E Type 1 compatibility, aligning with ETIM EC000721 and ECLASS 27182003 standards to support procurement and compliance. By combining robust material with front/rear trim panels and corner covers, it enables flexible interior configuration and scalable expansion. The result is faster installation, improved rigidity, and a lower total cost of ownership for durable control cabinet networks.

FAQs
Prepare the base, align the four corner pieces with the bayed enclosure corners, and insert the supplied fasteners through the base/plinth corner pieces into the frame. Attach the front and rear trim panels, then snap in the corner covers and baying cover. The included assembly parts are designed to simplify alignment and reduce tool requirements during setup.
The base/plinth corner pieces and front/rear trim panels use stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) with a brushed finish on the trim panels. This combination provides strong corrosion resistance and durability in typical industrial environments, helping to extend service life and reduce maintenance in damp or dusty cabinet applications.
VX 8620.052 is designed for bayed enclosure systems and includes 4 corner pieces, 4 corner covers, 1 baying cover, and 2 base/plinth trim panels. While it is optimized for Rittal bay configurations, it is important to verify dimension and mounting compatibility with any non-Rittal components prior to integration to ensure a secure fit.
The VX 8620.052 carries a UL 50E Type 1 rating for enclosure performance. It also references ETIM EC000721 and ECLASS 27182003 in its specification framework, aiding procurement and data exchange. These standards support reliable performance, component interoperability, and streamlined sourcing within regulated industrial environments.
The integration of moulded self-positioning corners, durable stainless steel components, and a complete installation kit reduces field labor, alignment errors, and rework. Over time, this yields faster maintenance access, fewer cabinet misalignments, and lower lifecycle costs, especially in high-usage environments where enclosure reliability is critical.
