Re: nVent Electric plc - Form S-3 Registration Statement
Ladies and Gentlemen
| 1. | Basis of Opinion |
We are acting as Irish counsel to nVent Electric plc, registered number 605257, a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of Ireland, with its registered office at Ten Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, D02 T380, Ireland (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on 15 July 2024 (the “Registration Statement”). We refer in particular to the ordinary shares with nominal value of US$0.01 (“Ordinary Shares”) and the preferred shares with nominal value of US$0.01 of the Company (“Preferred Shares”, and together with the Ordinary Shares, the “Shares”) and the guarantees by the Company of debt securities (the “Guarantees”) that may be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement (the issuance of the Shares and the Guarantees together the “Transaction”).
| 1.1 | This Opinion is confined to and given in all respects on the basis of the laws of Ireland (meaning Ireland, exclusive of Northern Ireland) in force as at the date of this Opinion as currently applied by the courts of Ireland. We have made no investigations of and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction or the effect thereof. In particular, we express no opinion on the laws of the European Union as they affect any jurisdiction other than Ireland. We have assumed without investigation that insofar as the laws of any jurisdiction other than Ireland are relevant, such laws do not prohibit and are not inconsistent with any of the obligations or rights expressed in the Documents (as defined in paragraph 1.2) or the transactions contemplated thereby. |

| (c) | the searches listed at paragraph 1.5 below. |
We express no opinion, and make no representation or warranty, as to any matter of fact or in respect of any documents which may exist in relation to the Shares and the Guarantees, other than the Documents.
| 1.3 | In giving this opinion, we have relied upon the Corporate Certificate (as defined in the Schedule to this Opinion), the Searches (as defined below) and we give this opinion expressly on the terms that no further investigation or diligence in respect of any matter referred to in the Corporate Certificate or the Searches is required of us. |
| 1.4 | In giving this Opinion, we have examined and relied on copies of the Documents sent to us by email in pdf or other electronic format. |
| 1.5 | For the purpose of giving this Opinion, we have caused to be made the following legal searches against the Company on 12 July 2024 (together the “Searches”): |

| (b) | in the Judgments Office of the High Court for unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees and the like for the five years immediately preceding the date of the search; and |
| (c) | in the Central Office of the High Court in Dublin for any proceedings and petitions filed in respect of the Company in the last two years. |
| 1.6 | This Opinion is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland as interpreted by the courts of Ireland at the date hereof. This Opinion speaks only as of its date. |
| 2. | Opinion |
Subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in this Opinion and to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:
| 2.1 | The Company is a public company limited by shares, is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Ireland and has the requisite corporate authority to issue the Shares and the Guarantees. |
| 2.2 | When the Shares are allotted and issued pursuant to duly adopted resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, the Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid or credited as fully paid and non-assessable (which term means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of the Shares). |
Page 3
| 2.3 | When the Guarantees are issued pursuant to duly adopted resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, the Guarantees will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company. |

Registration Statement and the Shares
| 3.1 | that, when filed with the SEC, the Registration Statement will not differ in any material respect from the final draft that we have examined and that before any Shares or Guarantees are offered, issued and sold, the Registration Statement and any amendments to the Registration Statement (including post-effective amendments) will have become effective under the Securities Act; |

| 4. | Qualifications |
The opinions set out herein are subject to the following qualification:
Enforcement and Binding Effect
| 4.1 | The description of any obligation in this Opinion as “enforceable” refers to the legal character of the obligation assumed by the relevant party under the relevant instrument. Any opinion as to the enforceability of the Documents relates only to the enforceability in Ireland in circumstances where the Irish court has and accepts jurisdiction and it implies no more than the obligations are of a character which the laws of Ireland recognise and will in certain circumstances enforce. In particular, it does not mean or imply that the relevant instrument will be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with its terms or by or against third parties or that any particular remedy will be available. In particular (without limiting the foregoing): |
| (a) | the binding effect and enforceability of the obligations of the Company under the Documents may be limited by liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, court protection, examinership, moratoria, reorganisation, reconstruction, company voluntary arrangements, fraud of creditors, fraudulent preference of creditors or similar or analogous laws whether in Ireland or elsewhere affecting creditors’ rights generally; |
| (b) | the binding effect and enforceability of the obligations of the Company under the Documents may also be limited as a result of the provisions of the laws of Ireland applicable to contracts held to have become frustrated by events happening after their execution, and any breach of the terms of any document by the party seeking to enforce such document; |
| (c) | enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity; in particular, equitable remedies are not available where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy; the remedy of specific performance is discretionary and will not normally be ordered in respect of a monetary obligation; and injunctions are granted only on a discretionary basis and accordingly we express no opinion on such matters; |
| (d) | claims may become barred under the Statute of Limitations 1957 and other statutes of limitation, prescription or lapse of time or may be or may become subject to any liens, rights of reunion, defences, rights of set-off or counterclaim; |
| (e) | enforcement will be subject to, netting, claims and attachment and any other rights of another party to a contract; |
| (f) | Irish courts retain an inherent jurisdiction to control any proceedings relating to matters of Irish law, may stay proceedings including, but not limited to where concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere and may decline to accept jurisdiction in certain cases; |
| (g) | a party to a contract may be able to avoid its obligations under that contract (and may have other remedies) where it has been induced to enter into that contract by a misrepresentation and the Irish courts will not generally enforce an obligation if there has been fraud, duress or undue influence; |
Page 8
| (h) | an Irish court will normally require proceedings to be served upon a defendant as a prerequisite to giving judgment; consequently, where a defendant cannot be served, enforcement may be difficult or impossible; and |
| (i) | enforcement may be limited by reason of public policy. |
| 4.2 | Where any obligations of any person are to be performed in jurisdictions outside Ireland, such obligations may not be enforceable under Irish law to the extent that performance thereof would be illegal under the laws of any such jurisdiction or contrary to public policy under the laws of any such jurisdiction and an Irish court may take into account the law of the place of performance in relation to the manner of performance and to the steps to be taken in the event of defective performance. |
| 4.3 | Where a judgment creditor seeks to enforce his judgment, he can only do so in accordance with the applicable rules of Irish courts. The making of an execution order against particular assets, such as a charging order over land or a beneficial interest therein or most types of investment or a third party debt order over a bank account or certain other debts, is a matter for the court’s discretion. |
General Matters
| 4.4 | No opinion is given as to the appropriateness, accuracy or enforceability of any representations and warranties or of any of the provisions relating to them in the Documents. |
| 4.5 | A determination or a certificate as to any matter provided for in the Documents may be held by an Irish court not to be final, conclusive or binding if such determination or certificate could be shown to have an unreasonable, incorrect or arbitrary basis or not to have been given or made in good faith. |
| 4.6 | Where a party to a Document that is governed by Irish law is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in its opinion, Irish law may require that such discretion is exercised in good faith, reasonably or that such opinion is based in good faith and upon reasonable grounds. |
| 4.7 | A particular course of dealing among the parties or an oral amendment, variation or waiver may result in an Irish court finding that the terms of the Documents have been amended, varied or waived even if such course of dealing or oral amendment, variation or waiver is not reflected in writing among the parties, notwithstanding that the Documents (or any of them) only provide for variation in writing. |
| 4.8 | No opinion is expressed on the irrevocability of, or on the enforceability of the delegation of, any power of attorney under the Documents. |
| 4.9 | The enforceability of certain of the provisions of the Documents depends on the parties to the relevant agreement carrying out certain further acts. |
| 4.10 | Any matter in the Documents expressed to be determined by future agreement or negotiation may be unenforceable or void for uncertainty. |
| 4.11 | No opinion is expressed on any deed of assignment, transfer, accession or similar document executed after the date of this Opinion in relation to any of the rights and obligations contained in the Documents. |
Page 9
| 4.12 | No opinion is expressed on any deed or agreement envisaged by the Documents to be entered at a future date or any future action taken by a party under the Documents. |
| 4.13 | An Irish court may refuse to give effect to any undertaking contained in the Documents that one party would pay another party’s legal expenses and costs in respect of any action before the Irish courts particularly where such an action is unsuccessful. |
| 4.14 | We express no opinion as to the effectiveness of any severability clause in the Documents. The question of whether or not any invalid provision may be severed from other provisions would be determined by an Irish court at its discretion. |
| 4.15 | We express no opinion as to the effectiveness of any clause stating that the or any Document does not create a partnership or agency relationship. The question of whether or not a partnership or agency relationship exists would conclusively be determined by an Irish court. |
| 4.16 | The effectiveness of any provisions in the Documents excusing a party from a liability or duty otherwise owed are limited by Irish law, particularly in relation to “fundamental breaches” of a contract. |
| 4.17 | Any provision in the Documents which provides for the deemed receipt of notices may be ineffective if a party has evidence of non-delivery. |
| 4.18 | We express no opinion as to any obligation which any of the Documents may purport to establish in favour of any person who is not a party to the relevant Document. |
| 4.19 | We express no opinion as to any obligation expressed to be assumed under a Document by any person who is not a party to the relevant Document. |
| 4.20 | Any provision of a Document which constitutes, or purports to constitute, a restriction on the exercise of any statutory power by any party to any Document or any other person may be ineffective. |
| 4.21 | We express no opinion as to the circumstances in which a party may transfer a contract or any obligation in or under a contract without an agreement by way of novation entered into between the transferor, the transferee and the other party to the contract. |
| 4.22 | Where a party to an agreement is a party to that agreement in more than one capacity, that party will not be able to enforce obligations owed by it to itself by reason of the doctrine of merger. |
| 4.23 | No opinion is given as to the impact of the competition law of any jurisdiction, (including Ireland) on the Documents or the Transaction. |
Penalties
| 4.24 | Any clauses in the Documents providing for an increased rate of interest or any other amount payable upon default or late payment or any indemnity in respect of currency conversions or loss arising therefrom may not be binding on the Company if construed by an Irish court as a penalty and therefore invalid. Interest on interest may not be recoverable and any increased rate of default interest may be treated as a penalty and therefore invalid. |
Page 10
Foreign Currencies
| 4.25 | A court in Ireland may order the payment of money in a currency other than euro if the creditor is entitled to such other currency under the terms of a relevant agreement. |
| 4.26 | While the rule of law that, when a debtor is wound up after a sum expressed in a foreign currency has become due, such sum should be converted into euro at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date it became due, has not been varied by a decision of the Irish courts, it is likely that in the event of winding up of the Company, amounts claimed in a foreign currency would (to the extent properly payable in the winding-up) be paid, if not in a foreign currency, in the euro equivalent of the amount due in the foreign currency, converted at the rate of exchange on the date of the commencement of such winding-up. |
Judgments
| 4.27 | There is a possibility that an Irish court would hold that a judgment on the Transaction, whether given in an Irish court or elsewhere, would supersede the relevant agreement or instrument to all intents and purposes, so that any obligation thereunder which by its terms would survive such judgment might not be held to do so. |
Due Diligence and Searches
| 4.28 | We have not investigated the nature of or the title to property and assets the subject of the Documents or insurance, merger/competition, regulatory or environmental status or compliance nor have we considered any implications or perfection or other requirements arising in respect thereof. Other than the Searches, we have not conducted any other searches whatsoever. We have conducted no due diligence nor checked the regulatory status or compliance of the Company or any of its affiliates or shareholders, or banks, or any other person. |
Sanctions
| 4.29 | If a party to any Document or to any transfer of, or payment in respect of, the Documents is controlled by or otherwise connected with a person (or is itself) resident in, incorporated in or constituted under the laws of a country which is the subject of United Nations, European Community or Irish sanctions or sanctions under the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended, or is otherwise the target of any such sanctions, then obligations to that party under the relevant Documents or in respect of the relevant transfer or payment may be unenforceable or void. |
Professional Engagement
| 4.30 | We express no opinion on and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Sales Agreement Prospectus, and have not made an independent check or verification thereof. We have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Sales Agreement Prospectus only in so far as they relate to Irish Law matters, assisted in the preparation of certain sections of the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Sales Agreement Prospectus only in so far as they relate to Irish Law matters and participated in discussions with officers, directors, employees and legal representatives of the Company, only in so far as such discussions related to Irish Law matters, during which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Sales Agreement Prospectus and related matters were discussed. |
