Middle Atlantic ERK-RR18 18 Space Rear Rail Kit

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC ERK-RR18 is an 18-space rear rail kit designed for use with ERK series open-frame racks. It provides the rear vertical rail support needed to fully enclose or stabilize rack-mounted equipment in a two-post or open-frame configuration. This kit is sold as a single unit and is installed by AV integrators, IT technicians, and electrical contractors building out structured rack systems. The ERK-RR18 allows equipment to be secured at both front and rear mounting points, which is essential when housing heavier devices or maintaining cable management integrity across the rack depth.

This rear rail kit is suited for use in light commercial and residential rack installations where an ERK open-frame rack is already in service. It is a direct add-on component, not a standalone rack. Typical applications include server rooms, equipment closets, AV equipment bays, and low-voltage distribution enclosures. The kit installs into the existing ERK rack frame to extend mounting support to the rear of the enclosure.

Key Features

• 18-space rear rail configuration compatible with ERK series open-frame racks
• Adds rear mounting point support for heavier or dual-post-mounted equipment
• Sold as a single kit (one unit per package)
• Designed to integrate with existing ERK rack frames without additional modification
• Supports organized cable routing and stable equipment positioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style add-on rear rail kit for MIDDLE ATLANTIC ERK series open-frame racks in 18-space configurations.

Installation Notes

This kit is typically installed by low-voltage technicians or AV integrators during rack buildout or when upgrading an existing ERK series frame. Power down and de-rack any equipment in the affected rail positions before installation. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for rack hardware. Verify rack depth compatibility before mounting to ensure proper rail alignment.
