Accessories for Killark Enclosures
A Killark backplate (also known as a back panel or mounting plate) is a mountable panel installed inside a Killark enclosure that provides a stable internal surface for mounting relays, terminal blocks, controls, drives, instrumentation, or other hardware inside hazardous location or environmental-duty electrical housing. Killark backplates are built from steel, aluminum, or sturdy fiberglass to provide a durable mounting substrate for electrical or electronic hardware within a Killark enclosure that does not interfere with the UL-CSA rating or the NEMA-enclosure code of the box. Each specifies dimensions and mounting hole pattern compatible with Killark electrical enclosures.
Killark backplates are engineered for quick installation into a Killark enclosure for form-fit interior equipment mounting. Their design precisely matches the size, hole pattern, and fasteners of Killark equipment housings and provides a baseline for establishing correct mounting depths and rigid mounting points for components. Killark backplates offer a clean technical solution for internal equipment mounting that saves time and helps simplify wiring for technicians assembling control panels and industrial enclosures. Their form-fit match with enclosure dimensions helps ensure code-compliant component positioning inside the enclosure.

Used properly, Killark backplates can reduce assembly time, allow better wiring management, and create a more straightforward internal layout for electrical equipment maintenance. Many Killark backplates are suitable for machinery or enclosures housing Class I Div 1 and Class I Div 2 electrical installation in hazardous environments. Their available surface material options also include corrosion-resistant, light weight, or non-metallic for harsh weather/corrosive conditions like wastewater, food processing, oil industry, shipboard, or marine. Fiberglass Killark backplates are chemical and weather-resistant for long service life and reduced box weight. Steel Killark backplates offer the highest mounting strength for heavy relays and transformers. Using a Killark-brand backplate can help guarantee correct fitment and sturdy component support for properly fitted Killark electrical housings.
