MPCS161-316

Overview

The nVent Hoffman MPCS161-316 is a stainless steel top console designed for floor-mount applications. It measures 500mm in height, 1600mm in width, and 494mm in depth. Constructed from Stainless Steel 316 with an untreated surface finish, the enclosure provides IP55 protection against dust and water ingress. This component serves as part of a combinable desk system, allowing for modular assembly configurations without requiring additional mounting plates.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from Stainless Steel 316 for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Provides IP55 environmental protection rating
• Designed as a combinable top console for modular desk systems

Applications

• Floor-mount industrial control consoles
• Modular equipment desk assemblies
• Environments requiring high corrosion resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific project requirements align with the Stainless Steel 316 material specification rather than standard 304 variants. Confirm that the IP55 rating meets the environmental exposure criteria for the intended installation site. Ensure compatibility with existing base units within the nVent Hoffman combinable enclosure series to maintain structural integrity and proper alignment during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a wide 1600mm console surface is required for extensive operator interfaces or equipment placement. The choice between Stainless Steel 304 and 316 depends on the chemical exposure levels; 316 offers superior performance in harsher environments. Consider the 500mm height relative to ergonomic standards and available clearance space within the facility layout.

Part Context

This unit belongs to the nVent Hoffman Universal Free-Stand product line, which emphasizes rapid assembly and safety improvements. As a top console, it functions as the upper section of a larger floor-standing structure. It integrates with other components in the series to create customized workstations for industrial automation and process control settings.

Replacement Considerations

The MPCS161 (Stainless Steel 304) variant serves as a direct substitute if the application does not require the specific corrosion resistance properties of Grade 316. Both models share identical dimensions and IP55 ratings, ensuring interchangeability in terms of physical fit and basic environmental protection.
