Vertiv 6998 IEC Plug Shield Removal Tool

Overview

The Vertiv 6998 is a specialized tool designed for the safe and efficient removal of the shield from IEC power plugs. This accessory is critical for maintenance and installation procedures on specific Vertiv power distribution units (PDUs) where access to the plug's internal components or termination points is required. Proper use of the 6998 tool prevents damage to the plug and ensures a secure connection during reassembly or replacement.

Compatibility

This tool is specifically designed for use with IEC C13 and C19 style plugs found on select Vertiv rack power distribution units (rPDUs). It is intended for use with models requiring shield removal for maintenance or termination, such as certain high-density or specialized power whips. Consult your rPDU documentation to confirm if this tool is required for your specific model.

Installation Notes

Use the Vertiv 6998 tool to grip the outer shield of the IEC plug. Apply steady, controlled pressure to slide the shield off the plug body. Avoid excessive force, which could damage the plug's insulation or internal conductors. Ensure the tool is clean and free of debris before use to prevent contamination of the plug components.
