Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), nVent Electric plc, an Irish public limited company (“nVent”), and nVent Finance S.à r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) (together with nVent, the “Guarantors”), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-293530, 333-293530-01 and 333-293530-02) (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus constituting a part thereof, dated February 17, 2026 and the final supplement to the prospectus, dated September 15, 2026 (collectively, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Issuer and the Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the issuance and sale by the Issuer in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus of $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 6.150% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”). The Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed as to the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and any additional amounts, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, by the Guarantors (the “Guarantees”). The Notes will be issued under the Indenture, dated September 29, 2026 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the First Supplemental Indenture, dated September 29, 2026 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee.
In connection with our opinion, we have examined: (i) the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, and the exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) constituting a part of the Registration Statement; (ii) the Indenture; (iii) the forms of the Notes and the Guarantees; and (iv) such other proceedings, documents and records as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render this opinion.
