When planning a retrofit, verify that the existing base/plinth system is compatible with the first or second generation components to avoid fit issues.
Key specifications include material stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), surface finish Brushed grain 400, height 100 mm, depth for fitment 500 mm, and packs of 2 pieces. The supply includes assembly parts, and the product carries a UL 50E Type 1 rating for enclosure safety. The product is intended for VX family enclosures and is linked to ETIM 9 EC000721 and ECLASS 8.0 27182003 classifications.
Installation is straightforward with the included assembly parts. Align the trim panel to the base/plinth of the enclosure, ensure the 500 mm depth requirement is met, and secure with the supplied hardware. Do not mix components from 1st and 2nd generation base/plinth systems, as this can create misalignment gaps and impact warranty coverage.
Yes. The VX 8660.071 base/plinth trim panel carries a UL 50E Type 1 rating, providing documented safety compliance for enclosing electrical components. The stainless steel construction (1.4301) also contributes to durability in demanding environments. For procurement and classification, it is indexed under ETIM 9 EC000721 and ECLASS 8.0 27182003.
The stainless 1.4301 material and brushed finish resist corrosion and are easy to clean, reducing maintenance frequency and costs. The integrated design speeds installation and reduces field modifications, delivering faster commissioning and a more consistent, professional appearance across fleets of VX-based enclosures, which translates to lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime.
