Filter Rittal SK 3238.308 — plastic housing, black, 1 pc

Rittal SK 3238.308 is a compact outlet filter supplied in a black plastic housing. Designed as a replacement element for compatible Rittal ventilation and enclosure systems, this single-piece filter supports basic particulate filtration where a simple, serviceable barrier is required. It is suitable for installation in upper or lower enclosure sections to assist convection-based airflow management.

Advantages

The plastic construction provides a lightweight and corrosion-resistant housing that is easy to handle during maintenance. The black finish integrates visually with racks and enclosures finished in RAL 9005. Supplied as a single unit per pack, the element simplifies stock management for routine replacements and service intervals.

Suitable for

• Basic particulate filtration in electrical enclosures and control cabinets
• Replacement filter for Rittal ventilation outlet locations
• Applications where a compact, low-profile filter element is required
• Convection-based cooling configurations with upper and lower outlet positions

When it may not be suitable

This filter is intended for basic particulate capture and routine maintenance replacement; it does not provide high-efficiency filtration for very fine dust, oil mist, or gaseous contaminants. For environments with heavy contamination, corrosive atmospheres, or strict cleanroom requirements, a higher-grade or specialized filter should be selected.

Key specifications

• Housing material: plastic
• Colour: black (RAL 9005 compatible finish)
• Pack quantity: 1 piece
• Application: outlet filter for convection ventilation in enclosures

How to use

Install the filter in the designated outlet location of a compatible Rittal enclosure, fitting it in either the upper or lower section according to the enclosure's airflow design. Ensure the housing is seated securely and any retention clips or mounting features are engaged. Replace the element during regular maintenance intervals or sooner if visual inspection shows heavy soiling or airflow restriction.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your specific Rittal enclosure model and outlet mounting dimensions
• Assess the level of particulate and contamination in your environment to determine if a basic filter is adequate
• Plan maintenance intervals and spares stock based on operating conditions

Usage recommendations

Inspect the filter visually at scheduled maintenance checks and replace when clogged or damaged. Use the outlet filter in convection-based ventilation setups and avoid relying on it for protection against fine or hazardous airborne contaminants; select a higher-efficiency element if required by the application.
