ESFM458

Overview

The ESFM458 is a full-height swing frame designed for 19-inch components, manufactured by nVent Hoffman. It features middle mounting and allows for both left-hand and right-hand opening configurations. The frame provides grip over the full height to facilitate access to internal equipment. Constructed for use in steel enclosures, it is combinable with other accessories to optimize space within industrial control panels.

Feature Summary

• Full height design accommodating standard 19-inch rack-mounted components
• Middle mounted configuration for versatile enclosure integration
• Bidirectional opening capability supporting left or right hand operation

Applications

• Mounting 19-inch electronic components in steel enclosures
• Industrial control panel assembly requiring additional internal space
• Equipment installation in combinable enclosure systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure is constructed of steel, as this component is specified for such materials. Confirm compatibility with the specific enclosure series intended for use. Ensure that the required opening direction (left or right) aligns with the operational layout. Check if additional support bars are needed for partial height applications, although this model is full height. Validate that the mounting configuration matches the middle mount specification.

Selection Notes

Select this model when full-height access to 19-inch equipment is required within a steel enclosure. It is suitable for applications where bidirectional opening flexibility is necessary. Consider this part when designing combinable enclosure systems that require standardized rack mounting solutions. Evaluate the need for middle mounting versus other configurations based on the specific spatial constraints of the project.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ESFM series of swing frames from nVent Hoffman. These frames are engineered to enhance accessibility within electrical enclosures. The series supports various mounting options and is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Hoffman accessories. This specific model represents a standard solution for organizing and accessing 19-inch rack equipment in industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official nVent Hoffman documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Generic equivalents may not match the precise mounting dimensions or material specifications required for steel enclosures. Verify compatibility with existing enclosure structures before substitution.
