Enclosure Drip Shields
Enclosure drip shields provide an added layer of environmental protection for wall-mounted electrical and electronic enclosures exposed to water, dust, and airborne debris. Installed along the top of an enclosure, these accessories help deflect dripping water and prevent debris from settling near enclosure seams, doors, and mounting points, reducing the risk of moisture intrusion and contamination.
This category includes a range of drip shield options such as Drip Shield Kits for Type 12 enclosures, ProLine G2 drip shields, and stainless steel drip shields designed for demanding industrial applications. Type 12 drip shield kits are commonly used in indoor industrial environments where protection from falling dirt, dust, and dripping non-corrosive liquids is required. ProLine G2 drip shields are engineered to integrate seamlessly with ProLine G2 enclosures, maintaining enclosure performance while adding targeted overhead protection.
Many enclosure drip shields are manufactured from durable materials such as stainless steel, including 316 stainless steel, to provide strong resistance to corrosion in harsh or washdown environments. To support secure installation and long-term performance, drip shields are typically supplied with stainless steel mounting hardware and sealing washers. When properly installed, these accessories enhance enclosure protection without interfering with door operation, ventilation, or routine access to internal components.
