Explosion Proof Junction Box | Class 1 Div 1 | Class 1 Div 2 | 3/4 NPT
This fixture is a strong choice for hazardous locations due to its UL 844 and ABS certifications, supporting use in environments with explosive gases, dusts, or fibers, as well as marine and offshore settings. Its compact 5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inch housing and IP66 rating allow reliable installation in tight spaces exposed to dust, water jets, or salt spray. The fixture is well-suited for chemical plants, refineries, grain processing, wastewater treatment, and marine vessels.

Product Lighting Layout Estimator
Use this estimator to calculate approximate fixture count, spacing, and average foot-candles for a simple rectangular space using the selected LED fixture. Enter your room dimensions, mounting height, target foot-candles, light loss factor, and room/layout condition to generate a preliminary lighting layout. When IES photometry is available, workplane height and room reflectance controls are shown.
Project Inputs
Estimated Results
Estimated average foot-candles are preliminary and should be verified with a lighting plan for project-critical applications.
Room / Layout Condition: This field is used only when usable IES photometry is not available. In fallback mode, it acts as a simplified room utilization factor for reflectance, fixture distribution, racking, obstructions, and how much fixture light reaches the work area. Open / light-colored spaces use 0.90, typical warehouses or shops use 0.75, racked or obstructed spaces use 0.60, and dark or complex spaces use 0.45. When IES photometry is active, this field is hidden and the estimator uses the selected workplane height, LLF, and simplified reflectance adjustment instead.
Photometry / Simulation Note: When usable IES photometry is available for the selected fixture, this estimator uses the fixture’s IES candela data, selected workplane height, light loss factor, and simplified reflectance adjustment to estimate fixture count, average foot-candles, and visual light distribution. The reflectance adjustment is a conservative approximation and is not a full zonal-cavity, radiosity, or professional photometric room calculation. When IES photometry is not available, the estimator uses a simulated beam model based on lumens, mounting height, room/layout condition, light loss factor, and beam angle.
Preliminary Estimate Only: This estimator is intended for simple square or rectangular spaces and should be used as a planning aid, not a final photometric lighting plan. Actual light levels may vary based on fixture optics, selected IES file, mounting conditions, workplane height, ceiling height, surface reflectance, obstructions, controls, voltage, installation conditions, and site-specific requirements. Project-critical applications should be verified with a formal lighting plan.
This estimate is a starting point. Warehouses, industrial facilities, hazardous locations, sports areas, schools, healthcare spaces, public areas, and code-sensitive projects may require a reviewed lighting layout before purchase or installation.
Product Overview
This explosion proof junction box is a surface-mounted enclosure for hazardous location lighting connections. It has a 3/4 NPT connection and a compact 5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inch housing.
The enclosure is rated IP66 and built for wet and marine outside conditions. It supports installations requiring classified-location equipment and protected electrical junction points.
Core Performance and Output
This product is an electrical junction box and does not produce light output. Its performance is defined by hazardous-location classifications, wet-location suitability, and IP66 ingress protection.
The box is rated for Class I, Division 1 Groups C and D, and Class I, Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D. It is also rated for Class II, Division 1 Groups E, F, and G, Class II, Division 2 Groups F and G, and Class III locations.
Adjustability and Control Options
The supplied product data identifies a 3/4 NPT connection and surface-mount installation. No dimming, control, or adjustment features are specified.
Connection routing and final wiring arrangement must match the classified-location installation requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
The IP66 enclosure rating supports use where protection against dust and water ingress is required. The housing is identified as corrosion resistant.
A 5-year warranty is included. Long-term reliability depends on maintaining properly sealed connections during installation and service.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The enclosure measures 5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inches. Its compact square form supports surface-mounted junction placement.
The construction is intended for wet and marine outside conditions. The 3/4 NPT connection size should be verified against the planned conduit and fitting arrangement.
Where This Product Fits Best
This junction box fits classified and exposed installations where lighting wiring requires a protected explosion proof enclosure. Its ratings support hazardous, wet, and marine conditions.
- hazardous location lighting
- explosion proof lighting
- chemical processing facility lighting
- oil and gas facility lighting
- marine environment lighting
- refinery lighting
IP66 protection, corrosion-resistant construction, UL 844 hazardous-location listing, UL 1598 wet-location suitability, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type status, and ABS status define the environmental fit.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The box is installed as a surface-mounted enclosure with a 3/4 NPT connection. The mounting surface, conduit routing, fittings, and wiring method must be appropriate for the applicable classified location.
Maintain enclosure integrity when servicing connections. Damaged seals, loose fittings, or unsealed entries can affect the intended environmental protection.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This product is used as a junction point within hazardous location lighting, explosion proof lighting, chemical processing facility lighting, oil and gas facility lighting, marine environment lighting, and refinery lighting installations. It is surface mounted where the connection location can be accessed for installation and maintenance.
Layout follows the lighting circuit and conduit routing rather than fixture spacing. Junction box placement depends on the connection path, mounting surface, and classified-location requirements.
