Vertiv Exhaust Chimney 18-32 in H - GL-EC-42-1832

Vertiv GL-EC-42-1832 Exhaust Chimney 18–32 IN Height

Overview

The GL-EC-42-1832 is a top-mount exhaust chimney designed to channel hot air from the top of a network or server cabinet directly into a raised-ceiling return plenum or overhead exhaust path. By containing and directing hot exhaust rather than letting it recirculate into the cold aisle, it supports hot/cold aisle containment strategies without requiring a full row-level containment enclosure. The adjustable chimney height — spanning 18 to 32 inches — accommodates variable floor-to-ceiling clearances without custom fabrication, making it practical for retrofit installations alongside existing rack rows.

Compatibility

Designed for cabinets with a 42-inch depth. The height-adjustable range of 18–32 inches (with a separate 32–46-inch clear variant also available in the GL-EC series) covers standard data center overhead clearances. Verify your cabinet's top-panel opening dimensions and overhead plenum height before ordering — the chimney relies on a close fit at the cabinet top to maintain containment effectiveness. Consult Vertiv's GL-EC series lineup for the 48-inch cabinet depth variant and the taller 32–46-inch height option if your install scenario falls outside this unit's range.

Installation Notes

Height adjustment is field-configurable within the 18–32-inch range, allowing on-site tuning to ceiling clearance without additional components. Confirm that the target cabinet's top-panel cutout or open-top configuration is compatible prior to installation. No specific torque specifications or wiring requirements are indicated in available evidence for this accessory.
