Sealing kit Rittal AX 2580.100, plastic housings, light grey, pack of 5

The Rittal AX 2580.100 sealing kit contains light-grey plastic sealing inserts designed for closing openings in electrical and industrial housings. Supplied as a pack of five, these closed inserts are intended to improve protection of cabinets and enclosures by blocking unused cutouts and enabling controlled cable entry when used with matching inlays.

Advantages

These sealing inserts are made of durable plastic in a neutral light-grey colour that integrates with standard enclosure finishes. Delivered as a set of five pieces, the kit simplifies inventory and spare-part management for panel builders and service technicians. The closed design provides reliable sealing for unused openings, while the slotted option—used together with inlays—permits individual cable entry without compromising protection.

Suitable for

• Sealing unused cutouts in electrical distribution cabinets and control panels
• Industrial enclosures where plastic sealing inserts are specified
• Applications requiring simple blocking of openings to prevent ingress of dust and debris
• Situations needing individual cable entry when combined with compatible inlays

When it may not be suitable

This sealing kit is intended for plastic insert applications and may not provide the same degree of environmental protection as dedicated gasket systems or fully rated IP seals. It is not a substitute for specifically rated waterproof or pressure-resistant cable glands where high ingress protection or mechanical strain relief is required.

Key specifications

• Material: Plastic
• Colour: Light grey
• Quantity: 5 pieces per pack
• Design: Closed sealing inserts with slotted option compatible with inlays for individual cable entry

How to use

Press the sealing insert into the corresponding opening of the enclosure until it sits flush; ensure correct alignment with the cutout. For individual cable entry, fit the appropriate inlay first and then use the slotted insert to pass preassembled cables through a single opening. Check that the insert and inlay are compatible with the enclosure panel thickness and that the closure is secure to avoid gaps.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the insert dimensions match the enclosure cutout or modular opening pattern
• Verify compatibility of slotted inserts with the inlays you plan to use for cable entry
• Consider required environmental protection level — use dedicated IP-rated seals if necessary
• Assess material suitability for operating temperature and chemical exposure in your environment

Usage recommendations

Store spare inserts in a dry, dust-free location and inspect fitted seals periodically; replace any inserts showing deformation or damage. For cable routing, route cables gently through the slotted insert and avoid sharp bends that could compromise the seal or damage cable jackets.
