AVK66

Overview

The AVK66 is a louver plate kit manufactured by nVent Hoffman, designed as an enclosure accessory to facilitate ventilation. Constructed from 14-gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder coating, the unit measures approximately 7.88 inches in height and 7.50 inches in width. It serves as a solution for managing excessive internal heat or moisture within enclosures requiring fresh air cooling.

Feature Summary

• Provides ventilation for enclosures experiencing excessive internal heat or moisture
• Constructed from durable 14-gauge steel material
• Features an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder coated finish

Applications

• Fresh air cooling enclosures
• Enclosures requiring passive ventilation solutions
• Industrial equipment housings needing thermal management

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires passive ventilation rather than active cooling systems. Confirm that the enclosure dimensions accommodate the 7.88 x 7.50 inch footprint of the AVK66 kit. Ensure the mounting surface is compatible with the steel construction and that the ANSI 61 gray finish meets environmental aesthetic requirements. Check for any specific ingress protection needs that louvers may not satisfy.

Selection Notes

Select this component when passive airflow is sufficient for thermal regulation. Consider the 14-gauge steel thickness for structural integrity against minor impacts. Evaluate if the open-louver design aligns with required dust or water resistance levels, as louvers do not provide complete sealing against all moisture or particulates compared to solid panels.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures accessory line, specifically categorized under louver plates. It is intended for use with standard industrial enclosures to enhance air circulation. The product is part of a broader range of thermal management accessories offered by nVent Hoffman for various enclosure types.

Replacement Considerations
