Rittal 3238080 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Rittal 3238080 hood reach IP56 on its own?
No. The 3238080 hose-proof hood only achieves IP 56 to IEC 60529 and EN 60529 when it is fitted over a fan-and-filter unit or outlet filter that already has a filter mat installed. The hood is the outer shield, not the seal itself, so if the filter mat is missing or the wrong one is fitted, you do not get the IP 56 result. Order the mat with it if the unit is not already equipped.
2) Is a stainless hood worth it over painted steel for a washdown area?
In a washdown or food-processing bay, yes. The 3238080 is fabricated from Stainless Steel AISI304, 1.4301 (V2A), with a silicone seal, so it holds up to caustic cleaners and constant moisture where a painted carbon steel part would eventually corrode at the fastener holes and edges. That material is also what supports the NEMA 4X rating, which is the corrosion-resistant one.
3) What NEMA ratings does the Rittal 3238080 hose-proof hood carry?
NEMA 1, 12, 3, 3R, 4, and 4X. For a spec that calls for outdoor or hosedown duty on a ventilated enclosure, the 4 and 4X ratings are the ones that matter, and 12 covers dust and dripping liquids on indoor industrial panels. That spread lets one accessory serve indoor and outdoor openings on the same facility standard.
4) Can I use the 3238080 hood outdoors on a wall-mount control cabinet?
Yes, that is one of its stated uses. The hood is listed for outdoor and wet-location enclosure installations and carries NEMA 3, 3R, 4, and 4X, so it shields a 3238 series fan-and-filter unit from rain and splash on an exterior cabinet. Stainless AISI304 construction is what keeps it serviceable in that exposure.
5) Do I need a hood on both the fan inlet and the outlet filter?
If both are exposed to washdown or weather, yes. The 3238080 is rated for use over either a fan-and-filter unit or an outlet filter, and the IP 56 result applies to whichever component it covers. A cabinet with a fan in and a filter out needs a hood on each opening to keep moisture out of both paths.
6) How many hoods come in a Rittal 3238080 pack?
One piece per packaging unit, at 1.52 kg per packaging unit. If you are standardizing a line of cabinets, order one hood per 3238 series fan or outlet filter you need covered.
7) Is the Rittal 3238080 suitable for food plant hygiene requirements?
It is built for that use. The hood prevents ingress of damp and moisture on ventilated enclosures in food and beverage processing, and the AISI304 stainless with silicone seal is the material combination plants specify for cleanable, corrosion-resistant surfaces in those rooms.
8) What is the Rittal part number to order for a stainless hose-proof hood?
The manufacturer part number is 3238080, a single-model item in Rittal's 3238 series of enclosure ventilation components. There are no finish or size options to specify, so that number is the full order.
