Middle Atlantic 18SP/25D ERK Configured Rack 4 Shelves 15 AMP Power - ERK-1825-CONFIG

Middle Atlantic ERK-1825-CONFIG 18RU Pre-Configured Floor-Standing AV Rack

Overview

The ERK-1825-CONFIG is an 18-space, 25-inch-deep floor-standing rack from Middle Atlantic's ERK rack line, pre-configured for residential AV installations. It ships as a ready-to-deploy enclosure — shelves, power strip, and rear door already installed — cutting on-site assembly time when your schedule is tight. At 22 inches wide and 39.5 inches tall overall, it fits standard equipment rooms and dedicated AV closets without custom clearance planning. The 10-32 rail system is the universal standard, so virtually any rack-mount gear drops straight in without adapter hardware. The steel construction with black wrinkle powder coat finish is built to stay in place: UL-rated load capacity is 2,500 lbs, and seismic certification (ASCE/UL Listed) covers 591 lbs of seismic load — relevant if you're deploying in California or any jurisdiction with seismic code requirements. Manufactured in the USA.

Compatibility

Fits any 19-inch EIA-standard rack-mount equipment using 10-32 threaded rails — the dominant mounting standard across AV receivers, NVRs, network switches, patch panels, amplifiers, and distribution gear. The 23.47-inch usable depth accommodates most full-depth 1U and 2U components. The included 15A rack-mount power strip suits standard residential and light-commercial branch circuits (NEMA 5-15R loads). For deeper equipment (some UPS units, certain 2U NVRs with rear-cable management), confirm your component's max chassis depth against the 23.47-inch usable figure before ordering. Pairs directly with other Middle Atlantic rack accessories — fan trays, blanking panels, and cable management — all designed to the same ERK footprint. If you're integrating network video recorders or AV distribution equipment requiring more than 18RU, step up to a deeper ERK configuration in the same product family.

Installation Notes

Ships flat: No — this unit arrives pre-assembled, which means it requires adequate doorway clearance for the fully built enclosure (22 in wide × 39.5 in tall). Plan your delivery route accordingly. The rear door is hinged and included; verify you have swing clearance behind the rack before final placement. Shipping weight is 158.15 lbs — a two-person lift or pallet jack is required. No field assembly of the rack frame is needed; mount your equipment, dress cables, and connect the included power strip.
