Vertiv VC-RF-0031 Aisle Containment Roof 3FT Duct Extension
Overview
The Vertiv VC-RF-0031 is a 900mm (approximately 3-foot) black extension plate designed for use with Vertiv aisle containment systems. If you're extending an existing hot-aisle or cold-aisle containment roof to cover a wider or deeper footprint, this component closes the gap without requiring a full panel replacement — keeping your containment geometry intact and your airflow management effective.
Aisle containment is only as good as its continuity. Any unsealed gap in the roof structure allows conditioned air to escape or hot exhaust to recirculate, undermining the efficiency gains containment is meant to deliver. The VC-RF-0031 addresses that directly by providing a purpose-built extension that integrates with the existing Vertiv containment framework.
Key Features
- 900mm Depth Extension: The 900mm depth matches standard rack row dimensions, so the extension aligns flush with the containment structure rather than requiring field modifications or custom cuts.
- Black Finish: Matches the standard Vertiv aisle containment color profile, maintaining visual consistency across your data center floor — relevant when multiple containment zones are deployed in the same facility.
- Extension Plate Design: Engineered as a dedicated extension component rather than a field-fabricated workaround, which means the structural fit and sealing geometry are consistent with the rest of the containment system.
Integration & Compatibility
The VC-RF-0031 (often searched as VC RF 0031) is a Vertiv-branded aisle containment component. For compatibility confirmation with your specific containment system model, verify against your existing Vertiv containment documentation or engage pre-sales engineering before ordering — containment roof components are not universally interchangeable across product generations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the depth of the VC-RF-0031 extension plate?
A: The VC-RF-0031 has a depth of 900mm, which corresponds to the standard 3-foot aisle containment row dimension.
Q: What color is the VC-RF-0031?
A: The VC-RF-0031 is finished in black, consistent with the standard Vertiv aisle containment color scheme.
Q: Is the VC-RF-0031 compatible with all Vertiv aisle containment systems?
A: The VC-RF-0031 is a Vertiv aisle containment roof duct extension, but compatibility across all Vertiv containment generations is not universally guaranteed. Confirm against your existing containment model before ordering.
Q: What type of component is the VC-RF-0031?
A: It is an extension plate for aisle containment roof duct systems, used to extend the coverage of an existing containment roof structure.
The VC-RF-0031 is a purpose-built 900mm depth extension plate for Vertiv aisle containment roof duct systems. Where a containment row doesn't reach full closure — due to rack layout changes, row length mismatches, or phased buildout — this component fills that gap with a Vertiv-matched solution rather than a field fabrication.
Technical Highlights:
- 900mm Depth: Sized to align with standard rack row depths, which means no cutting, trimming, or shimming in most deployments.
- Extension Plate Format: Discrete plate design allows targeted gap-filling in an existing containment roof without disturbing adjacent panels.
- Black Finish: Matches Vertiv's standard containment palette, which matters when your facility has multiple containment zones under the same roof and visual consistency affects maintenance navigation.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm compatibility with your specific Vertiv containment system model before ordering — roof extension components vary by containment generation and panel attachment method.
- Evidence for this SKU is limited to three confirmed attributes (type, depth, color); structural load rating, attachment hardware, and compatible containment models are not verified from available sources and should be confirmed directly from Vertiv documentation.
Best suited for data center facilities already running Vertiv aisle containment who need to extend an existing roof section — either during a row expansion or to correct a coverage gap introduced by a rack layout change.
