RS PRO enclosure air vents can be installed to wall box enclosures, ensuring that internal parts and components remain at a stable temperature in a variety of environments. Once installed, the air vents allow the entry and natural circulation of air helping to reduce dust and moisture build up inside that can occur when there are changes in temperature. The large air vent also includes a rubber gasket, helping to maintain an IP rating of IP54.

• Ideal for regulating air circulation and temperature control
• Suitable for a variety of applications
• Easy to install

Enclosures that contain electrical parts and components are often at risk of overheating or breaking down due to the build up of dust and moisture, therefore the ability to control and maintain temperature and air circulation makes an excellent addition. An enclosure air vent allows the air to circulate, minimising condensation and the build up of dirt. Enclosure vents are available in a range of sizes and materials to accommodate a variety of applications including:

• Industrial
• DIY
• Construction
• Security
• Plumbing

It is recommended that two air vents are installed in a diagonal position to maximise the air flow. An additional air vent ensures that maximum air circulation and temperature control is achieved.

Yes, by installing an air vent, the IP rating of the enclosure will be reduced to IP54.

The IP rating refers to the level of protection that is provided, with lower numbers offering minimal protection and higher numbers offering maximum protection. The first digit refers to the level of protection from solids such as dust and debris, whereas the second digit refers to liquid.
