ESFS278

Overview

The ESFS278 is a full-height swing frame manufactured by nVent Hoffman, designed for mounting 19-inch components within enclosures. Constructed from mild steel with a rigid W-shaped profile, it supports heavy equipment loads. The frame allows for both left-hand and right-hand opening configurations, featuring a continuous grip along the full height for ergonomic access. It includes hinges engineered to provide extra build-in depth and an adjustable top hinge to ensure square mounting alignment.

Feature Summary

• Full-height design accommodating 19-inch component standards
• Rigid W-shaped mild steel profile for structural stability
• Adjustable top hinge for precise square mounting
• Bidirectional opening capability with full-height grip

Applications

• Steel enclosure assembly
• Compact enclosure systems
• Combinable enclosure configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify compatibility with specific enclosure models before procurement. Confirm that the selected frame matches the required door opening direction (left or right) and that the enclosure structure supports the additional build-in depth provided by the hinge mechanism. Ensure the mild steel construction meets environmental corrosion requirements for the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this frame when heavy-duty support for 19-inch racks is required within a swing-door configuration. The adjustable hinge feature is critical for applications demanding precise alignment of mounted equipment. Consider the W-shaped profile's load-bearing capacity relative to the total weight of the installed components to ensure long-term structural integrity.
