Middle Atlantic - U.s. - Legrand HR-EVT1 Rack Vent Panel 1U

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND HR-EVT1 is a 1-space (1U) rack-mount ventilation panel designed to improve airflow management inside standard equipment racks and enclosures. Constructed from aluminum with a black finish, this passive vent panel occupies a single rack unit and measures 8.75 inches in width. It is installed by AV integrators, IT technicians, and low-voltage professionals to fill unused rack spaces while allowing heat to escape from densely packed equipment bays. The open vent design helps reduce heat buildup without the need for active cooling components.

This ventilation panel is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial rack enclosures where passive thermal management is needed. Typical applications include home theater equipment racks, server and AV distribution racks, and structured wiring enclosures. It is commonly used in conjunction with active cooling panels or as a standalone solution in low-to-moderate heat load environments. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while maintaining structural rigidity in a standard EIA rack format.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or AV integrators working with standard rack systems. Power down or de-energize equipment in the rack bay before inserting or repositioning panels to avoid accidental contact with live terminals. Secure the panel using the rack's existing rail hardware and verify the vent openings are not obstructed by cables or adjacent equipment after installation.
