Sealing kit Rittal AX 2580.118, plastic housing, light grey, pack of 5 pieces

Rittal AX 2580.118 is a sealing kit for cable and conduit entry, supplied as a pack of five light grey plastic sealing inserts. The slotted inserts are intended to be used in combination with inlays to create individual cable entries, permitting installation with preassembled cables while providing basic sealing and strain relief for electrical enclosures and control cabinets.

Advantages

The plastic sealing inserts are lightweight and resistant to corrosion, and their slotted design enables simple routing of single cables without removing connectors or re-terminating preassembled harnesses. Supplied in a pack of five, the kit supports multiple entry points or spare replacements. The neutral light grey color integrates unobtrusively into standard enclosures and distribution cabinets.

Suitable for

• Sealing individual cable entries in electrical enclosures and control cabinets
• Cable routing where preassembled cables or harnesses must pass through panel openings
• Applications requiring basic strain relief and protection against dust and splash in non-hazardous environments
• Retrofit or maintenance tasks where quick replacement of seals is needed

When it may not be suitable

This sealing kit provides basic sealing and strain relief but is not intended for use as a primary barrier against high-pressure washdowns, prolonged immersion, or hazardous-area protection. For enclosures requiring specific ingress protection ratings, chemical resistance, or flame retardant materials, select seals and grommets whose specifications explicitly meet those requirements.

Key specifications

• Material: plastic
• Color: light grey
• Quantity: 5 pieces per pack
• Design: slotted sealing inserts for individual cable entry with inlays

How to use

Select the appropriate cutout or module opening in the enclosure and insert the slotted sealing insert together with the matching inlay as required by the enclosure system. Push the preassembled cable through the slot; the slotted profile will accommodate the cable while maintaining sealing contact. Ensure the insert is seated correctly in the housing aperture and that any retention features or locking frames are engaged according to the enclosure manufacturer’s assembly instructions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with the enclosure’s cutout dimensions and the inlay or module system used
• Confirm that the sealing performance of plastic inserts meets the environmental conditions of the installation (dust, splash, temperature)
• Check cable diameters against the slotted opening to ensure proper fit and strain relief

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, test-fit one insert and a representative cable before completing multiple entries. Replace damaged or hardened inserts during maintenance cycles to preserve sealing performance.
