Where This Product Fits Best

This junction box is suitable for hazardous locations where explosive gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. It is appropriate for industrial, marine, and wet environments requiring robust enclosure protection.

Use this product in areas classified as Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III, as defined by the UL 844 listing. The IP65 rating allows for installation where exposure to water jets or dust is expected.

The built-in photocell supports applications where automatic on/off control based on ambient light is required. The enclosure is sized for compact installations where space is limited.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The enclosure is rated IP65, providing protection against dust ingress and water projected from any direction. This allows for reliable operation in washdown, outdoor, and marine settings.

The integrated photocell enables automatic switching based on ambient light levels. The on/off function is suitable for basic daylight control requirements.

The 3/8 inch knockout is standard for conduit entry. A 1/2 inch knockout is available by special order if a larger conduit size is needed.

Explosion proof construction and UL hazardous location listings support use in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The enclosure dimensions of 5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inches allow for mounting in confined spaces. The IP65 rating supports both indoor and outdoor installation where water or dust exposure is present.

The 3/8 inch knockout accommodates standard conduit fittings for electrical connections. For installations requiring a 1/2 inch knockout, this can be specified as a special order.

Explosion proof and hazardous location ratings require adherence to proper installation practices for classified areas. The enclosure is suitable for marine and wet locations as defined by UL 1598A and UL 1598.

LED Lighting Supply provides a 5-year warranty on this product for long-term reliability in demanding environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

After installation, the built-in photocell provides automatic on/off control based on ambient light. This reduces the need for manual switching in areas where lighting should respond to daylight conditions.

The enclosure is designed to withstand exposure to water, dust, and corrosive environments. Once mounted and wired, it requires minimal attention beyond routine inspection for physical integrity.

In hazardous locations, the explosion proof construction allows you to maintain compliance with safety requirements while providing reliable junction box functionality. The compact size makes it practical for use where space is limited or where multiple boxes are needed in close proximity.

Routine maintenance is limited to checking the enclosure seals and conduit connections to ensure ongoing protection against environmental ingress.
