Viking E-70 Plate in Stainless Steel - PNL70-SS

Viking Electronics PNL70-SS Stainless Steel Entry Panel Faceplate

Overview

The PNL70-SS is an 18-gauge 304 stainless steel replacement faceplate designed for Viking E-70 series door entry and intercom systems. At 123.8mm x 125.4mm x 4.3mm, it fits the same cutout footprint as the standard E-70 panel, letting you swap the finish on existing installations or spec a more durable surface for high-traffic or vandal-prone entry points. The brushed stainless finish resists fingerprints and surface wear better than painted finishes, which matters in lobbies, loading docks, and exterior vestibules where the panel gets daily contact. When appearance and durability both count — healthcare corridors, institutional entrances, multi-tenant vestibules — the PNL70-SS handles both without requiring a full system replacement. It is one finish option in the PNL70 family; black (PNL70-BK), white (PNL70-WH), and brushed nickel (PNL70-BN) variants share the same 0.048-inch gauge and mounting pattern.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Viking Electronics E-70 door entry panel series. The faceplate matches the E-70 form factor and mounting hole pattern. All PNL70-series variants (SS, BK, WH, BN) are interchangeable within the E-70 platform — if you are replacing a painted faceplate on an existing intercom or door entry system or fitting a new installation, confirm the base unit is an E-70 series device before ordering. The stainless variant is the preferred finish for access control entry points subject to repeated physical contact or chemical cleaning agents.

Installation Notes

Fastening requires #6-32 x 1.25-inch flat-head screws with a 5/64-inch hex drive — the same hardware used across all PNL70 variants. The 0.048-inch (18-gauge) panel thickness is a close fit in standard E-70 recesses; confirm clearance if the mounting surface has been built up with tile, cladding, or weatherstripping. A flush-mount installation guide for the E-70 family covers rough-in dimensions. No specialty tools beyond a 5/64-inch hex driver are required.
