SK3240.080 Rittal Hose-proof hood for fan-and-filter unit and outlet filters 3240/3241

Why Choose the Rittal SK 3240.080 Hose-Proof Hood?

The Rittal SK 3240.080 is a robust stainless steel hose-proof hood designed for compatible Rittal fan-and-filter units and outlet filters in the SK 3240 and SK 3241 series. It provides additional protection for enclosure ventilation openings where exposure to water jets, wash-down processes or demanding industrial environments requires a higher degree of protection than the standard filter arrangement alone.

Installed over the compatible fan-and-filter unit or outlet filter, the hood shields the ventilation opening against direct water spray while still allowing the enclosure cooling system to exchange air. Its stainless steel construction provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for industrial machinery, production environments and installations where robust enclosure protection is required.

With a depth of 85 mm, the SK 3240.080 provides a purpose-designed protective solution without requiring replacement of the underlying Rittal ventilation system. When combined with the appropriate compatible fan-and-filter unit, outlet filter and filter mat, the hose-proof hood can help achieve enhanced enclosure protection of up to IP56.

Enhanced Protection for Enclosure Ventilation Openings

Fan-and-filter units require an open airflow path to remove heat from electrical enclosures, but ventilation openings can also create potential entry points for water and environmental contamination. A hose-proof hood provides an additional physical barrier around the ventilation opening, helping deflect water spray while retaining the airflow required for enclosure cooling.

The Rittal SK 3240.080 is manufactured from stainless steel for dependable performance in demanding industrial environments. When correctly combined with compatible Rittal fan-and-filter units, outlet filters and filter media, it provides a practical way to enhance environmental protection without abandoning forced-air enclosure ventilation.
