The Rittal SK 3172.120 is a high-quality IP54 pleated filter designed for compatible Rittal SK 3240.xxx and SK 3241.xxx fan-and-filter units and outlet filters. Its advanced pleated construction provides improved filtration and increased volumetric airflow compared with conventional chopped-fibre filter mats, helping maintain effective enclosure ventilation while reducing dust ingress.
Manufactured from durable PET filter material, the SK 3172.120 provides a G4 filter classification to DIN EN 779 and ISO Coarse 70% classification to DIN EN ISO 16890. The enhanced filtration properties help reduce dust accumulation inside electrical enclosures and climate-control equipment, supporting longer maintenance intervals and reliable operation of sensitive components.
Measuring 212.5 × 212.5 × 21 mm, the filter is specifically sized for compatible Rittal SK 3240.xxx and SK 3241.xxx units. When installed in the appropriate fan-and-filter unit, roof-mounted fan or outlet filter, the SK 3172.120 supports an IP54 protection category to IEC 60529. Each package contains 5 pleated filters for convenient routine maintenance.
Fan-and-filter units use ambient air to remove excess heat from electrical enclosures, making effective filtration important for limiting the amount of airborne dust reaching sensitive electrical and electronic components. The pleated construction of the Rittal SK 3172.120 increases the available filter surface and supports higher volumetric airflow compared with conventional chopped-fibre filter mats.
Improved filtration means less dust can accumulate inside the enclosure or climate-control unit, while the extended filter service life can reduce maintenance requirements. When used with compatible Rittal equipment, the SK 3172.120 helps maintain the intended airflow, protection category and equipment performance. This model is not suitable for use in EMC fan-and-filter units.
