Floor Mounting Options
Install floor mount products on a flat and level surface such that all enclosures in the line-up are within ±0.25 mm (0.010 in.) vertical orientation. If necessary, use metal shims to level the enclosures before joining them.
- Install product enclosures in an upright orientation.
- Verify that the product enclosures are square, vertical, and stable.
- Verify that filters and debris screens are installed.
Various mounting options are acceptable:
- Rittal corner base/plinth system
- Structural steel system
- Anchor bolt system
- Concrete screw system
For all mounting options, all four corner mounting holes must be used to secure the enclosure properly. Remove the debris plug when using mounting hardware that must pass through the mounting hole.
Typical Enclosure Mounting Holes
Rittal Corner Base/Plinth System
Rittal corner base/plinth systems are available from Rittal Corporation in 100 mm (4.0 in.) and 200 mm (8.0 in.) heights. Systems provide a base/plinth for each corner of a Rittal TS 8 enclosure and are secured by using an M12 screw in each corner. Follow the installation instructions for the product.

Structural Steel System
Enclosures can be mounted to structural steel that is anchored to concrete that meets the following specifications and minimum dimensions.
- Material: ASTM A-36 / ASME SA36, or equivalent
- The minimum length indicates the length of beam (l) under each corner of the bay. Using the minimum length of beam provides a block shaped base under each corner. Alternatively, you can use two beams running parallel, each spanning from one corner to another.
Structural Steel Beam Cross-sections
Item | Style | Depth (d) [mm (in.)] | Width (b) [mm (in.)] | Thickness (tw) [mm (in.)] | Flange (tf) [mm (in.)] | Length (l) [mm (in.)] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | Wide Flange Beam | 100 (4.0) | 100 (4.0) | 7.6 (0.3) | 10.2 (0.4) | 100 (4.0) |
B | Channel Beam | 100 (4.0) | 43 (1.7) | 7.6 (0.3) | 7.6 (0.3) | 100 (4.0) |
Enclosures can be mounted directly to structural steel beams by using M12-1.75 screws threaded into the threaded corner holes. The enclosures must be secured to the anchor bolts in all four corners by using M12 nuts and lock washers. Secure the steel beam to the concrete floor by using M12 (0.5 in.) anchor bolts.
Structural Steel Mounting Configurations
Anchor Bolt System
Enclosures can be mounted directly to a level concrete surface by using M10 (0.375 in.) anchor bolts.
The enclosures must be secured to the anchor bolts in all four corners by using M10 nuts and lock washers.
