Middle Atlantic VTP-3 3-space Slotted Vent Panel

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND VTP-3 is a 3-space slotted vent panel designed for use in standard EIA rackmount enclosures. The anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance in rack installations. This passive ventilation panel allows heat to escape rack enclosures without requiring a fan, making it a straightforward solution for thermal management in low-heat or mixed-equipment racks. It is typically installed by AV integrators, IT technicians, and low-voltage contractors working with rackmount audio, video, or electronic equipment.

The VTP-3 is suited for residential and commercial rackmount applications where passive airflow is needed. It occupies 3 rack units of vertical space and is commonly installed above or below heat-generating components to create a convection path within the enclosure. The anodized aluminum construction keeps the panel lightweight while maintaining structural integrity in permanent rack installations.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified low-voltage technician or AV integrator in any standard EIA rackmount enclosure. Power down all equipment in the rack before installing or removing panels to avoid accidental contact with live components. Secure the panel using the rack enclosure's standard captive or cage-nut fasteners per the enclosure manufacturer's instructions. Position the vent panel adjacent to heat-producing equipment to promote effective convective airflow within the enclosure.
