More about the VR2 GRP enclosure:
The VR2 is a compact floor-standing GRP enclosure measuring 555mm wide, 410mm deep and 730mm high, with a single lockable door giving a 400mm x 500mm clear opening and a 500mm x 500mm 18mm ply backboard as standard. The extra depth over the VR1 makes it a useful step up where a panel or control set needs a little more room front-to-back.
What is the VR2 enclosure used for?
The VR2 suits small control panels, metering and distribution positions, and instrumentation that needs a deeper housing than the entry-level cabinet. It is widely used as a roadside and utility enclosure for water booster, dosing and telemetry control, gas instrumentation, EV charge-point control gear and telecoms equipment. Its non-conductive, non-corroding GRP shell makes it a safe, long-life kiosk wherever electrical plant has to sit out in the weather.
How much equipment will the VR2 hold?
Internally it gives roughly 555mm x 310mm x 700mm of clear working space behind a surface-treated ply backboard, finished internally with a fire-retardant resin — enough for a compact control panel, a distribution board with room to spare, or a telemetry/RTU set and its power supply.
How secure is the VR2?
The door is fitted with two stainless steel hinges, a Yale-type lock and a compression seal as standard, giving a weather-tight, lockable housing for unattended sites.
Is the VR2 built to last outdoors?
Yes — glass-reinforced polyester doesn’t corrode, rot or break down in sunlight, so the VR2 is built for years of service on pumping compounds, substation sites and the highway with minimal upkeep, and it has no scrap value to tempt metal thieves.
What colours does the VR2 come in?
Green (BS 14-C-39) or grey as standard — British Standard references, not RAL — with any custom colour to a BS or RAL reference on request. See our guides to British Standard colours and RAL colours.
