Push-button housing Rittal 14301 stainless steel 1.4301 IP66 for 1 push-button Ø22.5

Rittal 14301 is a stainless steel (1.4301) push-button housing with IP66 protection, designed to hold a single standard Ø22.5 mm push-button. The housing provides a corrosion-resistant enclosure for operator controls used in industrial panels and machinery. With its robust stainless steel construction and sealed design, it protects the mounted control from dust, water jets and splash conditions while offering a neat, secure mounting for one control element.

Advantages

The housing is made from grade 1.4301 stainless steel, giving it good corrosion resistance and mechanical durability for indoor and outdoor installations. Its IP66 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it suitable for washdown or exposed environments. The unit is shaped to accept a standard Ø22.5 mm push-button, enabling straightforward installation with common control components and saving time during panel assembly.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This housing only accommodates a single Ø22.5 mm push-button, so it is not suitable for applications that need multiple control elements or larger diameter devices. It is a mechanical enclosure for the actuator only and does not include electrical contacts, switches or illumination; those must be chosen and installed separately.

Key specifications

How to use

Prepare the panel or enclosure by cutting or using the supplied opening for a Ø22.5 mm actuator. Insert the chosen push-button actuator through the front of the housing and secure it with the standard retaining nut or mounting hardware specified by the push-button manufacturer. Ensure the housing is sealed to the panel surface and secure any internal switch or contact assembly behind the panel according to the electrical installation requirements. Verify IP66 sealing after installation by checking gaskets and threaded fittings for correct seating.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For reliable IP66 protection, use compatible gaskets and tighten mounting hardware to the torque values recommended by the actuator manufacturer. When used outdoors or in corrosive atmospheres, consider periodic inspection of seals and fasteners to maintain ingress protection and corrosion resistance.
