Product description
VX isolator door cover, stainless steel, WHD 103x2000x600 mm
Main door lock, cover plate and assembly parts are provided with VX 8952.010, delivering a ready-to-install safety locking solution for enclosure access. This reduces field wiring, prevents incorrect latch configurations, and supports UL 508 A compliance for industrial control panels. The design facilitates quick servicing while preserving master-switch integrity across a multi-brand environment. Stainless steel construction uses 1.4301 (AISI 304) at 1.5 mm thickness, delivering excellent corrosion resistance and robust durability in hot, dusty, or humid plant floors. The material choice aligns with harsh production lines, while stringent tolerances ensure consistent latch engagement. The result is longer service life, fewer replacements, and reduced maintenance downtime, contributing to lower total cost of ownership. Dimensions are width 103 mm, height 2,000 mm, depth 600 mm, with a weight of 19.4 kg per pack. This predictable footprint fits VX series enclosures and supports standardized installation equipment in plant rooms. The packaging is optimized for single-operator handling, and the included assembly parts simplify field mounting, reducing the risk of incorrect assembly and ensuring a reliable door-locking interface. Protection ratings include IP55 when used with VX enclosures and NEMA 12 compatibility, providing reliable protection against dust, water ingress, and incidental splashes in typical industrial environments. The combination of a stainless steel door cover and UL-listed latch assembly enhances safety for personnel and equipment, while helping facilities meet internal and external safety audits. Compatibility spans Allen Bradley, Square D, GE, Eaton and Siemens master switches, enabling seamless integration with existing control architectures and stocking practices across multi-brand projects. The VX 8952.010 design preserves lever compatibility and reduces the risk of misalignment with actuator levers from major suppliers, translating into faster commissioning and fewer change orders. Note that the cover is intended for single-door tubular door frames, ensuring proper fit and performance in standard VX installations. For multi-door configurations or non-tubular frames, refer to Rittal recommendations to maintain UL compliance and enclosure integrity.
