Side wall Rittal VX 8186.245 Grey Steel 600mm Depth 1800mm Height

The Rittal VX 8186.245 side wall is a grey steel panel designed to be fitted to VX series enclosures that are 600 mm deep and 1800 mm high. Manufactured from 1.5 mm thick steel, this side wall provides structural reinforcement and protection for electrical and electronic equipment. Supplied as a pack of two and weighing 26.2 kg in total, the component is intended for professional cabinet assembly and retrofit projects where robust enclosure side protection is required.

Advantages

This grey steel side wall offers durable mechanical protection and contributes to the overall rigidity of a VX-series enclosure. With a material thickness of 1.5 mm it resists deformation under typical installation stresses and helps maintain internal mounting geometry. Supplied in pairs, it supports symmetrical installation and reduces the need to source separate matching panels. The neutral grey finish is suitable for industrial and technical environments where corrosion protection and a uniform appearance are important.

Suitable for

• Retrofitting or completing Rittal VX enclosures with 600 mm depth and 1800 mm height
• Industrial and workshop electrical cabinets requiring side protection
• Assembly of server racks and control panels where matching side panels are needed
• Applications that require a 1.5 mm steel side wall for structural support

When it may not be suitable

This side wall is specifically sized for VX enclosures with 600 mm depth and 1800 mm height; it is not suitable for enclosures of different dimensions. It is a passive mechanical panel and does not include additional features such as ventilation, windowing, or built‑in cutouts — these would require separate components or modification.

How to use

Install the side wall panels onto the Rittal VX enclosure frame using the manufacturer’s recommended fastening points and hardware. Ensure the enclosure dimensions match 600 mm depth and 1800 mm height before fitting. Align the panel edges with the cabinet frame, secure all fastening points evenly to avoid distortion, and verify panel flatness and enclosure integrity after installation. Any cutting or modification should be done prior to final fitting and in accordance with safety standards for working with sheet steel.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify enclosure compatibility: 600 mm depth and 1800 mm height VX series
• Confirm that a 1.5 mm steel panel meets mechanical and environmental requirements
• Check whether additional features (venting, cutouts, seals) are needed separately
• Account for shipping and handling due to pack weight of 26.2 kg

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling and installing steel panels. For optimal performance, follow Rittal’s assembly instructions for VX enclosures and use compatible fasteners and seals to maintain enclosure protection and mechanical stability.
