Rittal 5301331 Gland Plate Module - Ventilated
Part Number: 5301331
Quick Summary
Rittal 5301331 gland plate module is a ventilated gland plate solution for VX IT enclosures. In practice, sealing the base can be challenging when several gland plates must be combined, risking gaps and moisture ingress. Note: The data does not specify formal certifications; when your project requires regulatory assurance, verify CE conformity, IP protection level, and SIL compatibility. Designed in sheet steel and zinc‑plated for durability, this module ships with gland plate modules, vented components, a filter mat, and assembly parts to streamline installation and support efficient, passive climate control. By enabling scalable sealing and improved air flow, it helps reduce maintenance cycles and support reliable enclosure performance.

Product description
VX IT gland plate module, ventilated, for width 800 mm, W x D 800 x 237.5 mm, sheet steel
Ventilated gland plate design provides a large perforated section that enhances passive climate control of VX IT enclosures, reducing hot spots and moisture accumulation. This translates to lower cooling energy needs and longer component life, especially in dense electrical cabinets used in harsh environments. The sheet steel construction with a zinc-plated finish offers durable corrosion resistance, safeguarding the enclosure interior and reducing replacement costs over time. Compatibility with VX IT widths of 800 mm ensures a consistent seal across standard layouts, while the 237.5 mm depth fits the intended mounting footprint without compromising access. Included gland plate modules, vented components, a filter mat, and assembly parts streamline installation, cutting on-site labor and procurement complexity. The cradle-to-gate PCF of 9.1 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) supports sustainability goals for metal enclosure projects. Engineering teams can specify this module to meet long-term serviceability, retrofit readiness, and scalable climate control needs.

FAQs
To seal the VX IT enclosure base with VX 5301.331 gland plates, first verify the enclosure type and width (VX IT, 800 mm). Gather the gland plate modules, vented sections, and assembly parts. Align perforated sections to cover the base, then assemble the plates step by step, ensuring tight contact along the seal to eliminate gaps. Finally, install the filter mat and recheck seals at all joints. Because several plates may be needed, follow the assembly instruction to achieve a complete base seal and verify no light leaks or moisture entry after assembly.
The large perforated section in the gland plate module enables air exchange between inside and outside the cabinet, promoting passive cooling and reducing hot spots. This design helps maintain more uniform internal temperatures, lowers the risk of condensation in humid environments, and can reduce active cooling loads. For operators, this means more stable operation of sensitive electronics and less energy required for cooling systems over time.
Compatibility is specified for VX IT enclosures with a width of 800 mm. The depth is 237.5 mm, and the product is designed to seal the base for that particular footprint. If your installation uses different widths, you should select gland plate modules matched to those dimensions or consult the supplier for compatible variants to ensure proper sealing and airflow characteristics.
The gland plate module is made from sheet steel with a zinc-plated surface finish. This combination provides good structural strength and enhanced corrosion resistance in typical industrial environments. Zinc plating protects the steel from moisture and contaminants, extending the service life of enclosure components and reducing maintenance costs associated with rust and coating failures in harsh environments.
The supply includes gland plate modules that are vented, a filter mat, and assembly parts necessary for base sealing. Each pack weighs 2.38 kg, and packs are sold as 1 piece per package. For project planning, consider stacking multiple packs if sealing larger enclosures or if a stepped sealing approach is required, ensuring compatibility with VX IT base interfaces and installation space.
