What are hose-proof hoods?

Hose-proof hoods are protective accessories, designed to be mounted over cooling system entry or exit points. Their name derives from their primary application, in which they protect against the ingress of water from hoses. They feature a graduated design which directs the water safely around fan filters or intakes, preventing ingress into cooling systems.

Why are hose-proof hoods useful?

Hose-proof hoods are particularly useful in settings in which surfaces are cleaned with jets of water. Applications within the food industry are common, as vertical surfaces often need to be thoroughly disinfected and rinsed with water. Hose-proof hoods also can be used to prevent the ingress of condensation and can be utilised in settings that experience fluctuating temperatures.

Choosing a Rittal hose-proof hood

When considering a Rittal hose-proof hood, ensure the dimensions of your filter are compatible. Our selection can be configured to specify the external dimensions of the hood, the fan size, and the hood material.
