Filter Rittal SK 3238.400 – Type: Filter, Colour: Grey, Pack: 1 pc

Rittal SK 3238.400 is a grey outlet filter supplied as a single unit for use in compatible Rittal enclosures and ventilation systems. It is intended to capture airborne particulates while allowing convective airflow through the upper or lower sections of an enclosure. The filter is provided as one piece and is suitable for routine maintenance and replacement of worn or clogged filtration elements.

Advantages

The filter offers particulate filtration with minimal airflow restriction, designed to maintain ventilation efficiency in enclosures cooled by natural convection. Its neutral grey colour integrates with standard RAL 7035 enclosures, and the single-piece supply simplifies replacement during scheduled maintenance. The component is built to fit specific mounting locations in Rittal housings, helping protect internal components from dust accumulation.

Suitable for

• Replacement of worn or contaminated outlet filters in compatible Rittal enclosures
• Enclosures cooled by convection where airflow must be maintained
• Routine preventative maintenance in control cabinets and small electrical housings
• Industrial and commercial installations requiring particulate protection for internal components

When it may not be suitable

This outlet filter is intended for particulate filtration and convective ventilation support; it is not designed for high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) or gas/vapor filtration. If your application requires very fine particle removal, chemical adsorption, or filtered forced-air cooling, this product may not meet those needs. Additionally, ensure compatibility with the specific Rittal enclosure model before purchase as mounting formats vary.

Key specifications

• Function: Outlet particulate filter for convective ventilation
• Colour: Grey (RAL 7035 tone compatibility)
• Supply quantity: 1 piece
• Application: Suited for upper and lower outlet positions in enclosures cooled by convection
• Intended protection: Dust and coarse particulate protection to reduce internal contamination

How to use

Install the Rittal SK 3238.400 filter into the designated outlet opening of the compatible enclosure following the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions. For convective ventilation, the filter may be fitted in either upper or lower sections as required by the enclosure layout. Replace the filter at regular service intervals or whenever visible contamination or airflow reduction is observed. Dispose of used filters according to local regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm mechanical and dimensional compatibility with your specific Rittal enclosure model
• Assess the level of particulate protection required for your equipment (this filter is not HEPA-grade)
• Determine replacement interval based on environmental dust load and operating conditions

Usage recommendations

For best performance, inspect the filter during routine maintenance, replace when visibly soiled or when airflow is noticeably reduced, and use in enclosures where convective ventilation is sufficient rather than for forced-air cooling systems.
