Cover for top joining Rittal TS 8800.885 — plastic housing, grey (RAL 7035)

Rittal TS 8800.885 is a grey (RAL 7035) plastic cover designed to close the top joining gap between modular enclosures. Supplied as a single-piece component, the cover provides a clean, protective finish where two cabinet tops meet, maintaining consistent appearance and offering basic protection against dust and incidental contact. Intended for use with compatible Rittal TS series housings, the cover helps achieve neat enclosure joins in control cabinets and industrial panels.

Advantages

The cover is made of durable plastic in RAL 7035 grey for visual compatibility with standard industrial housings. Its single-piece design simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional sealants or trim. The component gives a uniform look across joined cabinets and provides a modest barrier against dust and mechanical impact at the cabinet junction. As a purpose-made joining accessory, it integrates with the TS series housing geometry to ensure alignment and fit.

Suitable for

• Closing top joins between modular control cabinets and industrial enclosures
• Applications requiring visual consistency across multiple adjacent housings
• Indoor electrical control panels and distribution cabinets where basic dust protection is sufficient
• Retrofit or new installations using compatible Rittal TS series enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This plastic cover is not intended as a primary seal against water ingress or for environments that require IP-rated external protection by itself. For installations exposed to heavy mechanical stress, corrosive atmospheres, or outdoor weathering, a more robust or specially rated joining solution and additional sealing measures should be considered. Compatibility must be confirmed with the specific Rittal TS enclosure model in use.

Key specifications

• Material: plastic
• Colour: grey (RAL 7035)
• Design: single-piece top joining cover
• Application: top closure for joining modular enclosures
• Compatibility: designed for Rittal TS series housings

How to use

Position the cover across the top seam where two compatible enclosures meet, ensuring alignment with the housing edges and any guide features. Press the cover into place according to the enclosure's joining mechanism; in some installations, light fasteners or clips supplied with the cabinet may secure the cover. Verify the fit is flush along the seam and that adjoining doors or panels operate without interference. If additional environmental protection is needed, apply appropriate gaskets or seals compatible with the enclosure system.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm mechanical compatibility with your specific Rittal TS enclosure model and top joining details
• Assess whether the plastic cover's basic dust protection meets your environmental requirements
• Determine if additional sealing or more robust joining components are required for outdoor or harsh industrial conditions
• Check colour match (RAL 7035) against existing housings for consistent appearance

Usage recommendations

Use the cover as part of a complete enclosure joining strategy: combine it with manufacturer-recommended fasteners and seals where necessary, and inspect joins regularly for wear or displacement in high-traffic or vibration-prone installations.
