Construction Details
ReliaGear A-Series panelboard fronts are designed to complete compatible panelboard enclosure assemblies by providing the finished front and trim around the interior electrical components.
Front selection depends on both the panelboard height and the required mounting style. Flush fronts are intended for compatible installations where the enclosure is recessed, while surface fronts are used with compatible surface-mounted panelboard enclosures.
The selected front should be matched to the exact ReliaGear enclosure and interior configuration before ordering.
