Explosion Proof Stanchion | 90 Degree Mount | Class 1 Div 2

Product Overview

Explosion Proof Stanchion | 90 Degree Mount is a heavy-duty mounting bracket designed for hazardous location lighting installations. This stanchion bracket provides a secure 90° mounting solution for EXPLA and EXPLB explosion proof fixtures in classified environments. Typical use includes mounting fixtures in paint booths, chemical processing areas, and other locations requiring Class 1 Div 2 or Class 2 Div 1 compliance.

The bracket is constructed for durability and reliability in demanding industrial settings. Its compact form factor (5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inches) allows for installation in tight or constrained spaces where standard mounting options are not feasible.

Core Performance and Output

This stanchion mount is engineered to maintain fixture stability and orientation in hazardous environments. The 90° bracket supports the weight and EPA of EXPLA and EXPLB fixtures without flex or deformation under normal operating conditions. The bracket?s design ensures that the fixture remains securely positioned, even in areas subject to vibration or incidental impact.

UL844, Class 1 Div 2, and Class 2 Div 1 ratings confirm suitability for hazardous atmospheres involving flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers. The bracket?s compact size may limit use with larger or heavier fixtures outside the EXPLA and EXPLB families.

Adjustability and Control Options

The 90° stanchion bracket provides a fixed right-angle mounting position. It is not designed for field adjustability or aiming after installation. The bracket?s geometry ensures consistent fixture orientation for uniform light distribution in the intended direction.

No integrated controls or accessory mounting points are included. All adjustability must be achieved through fixture selection and initial bracket placement.

Longevity and Reliability

The bracket is fabricated from materials selected for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in hazardous and industrial environments. It is designed to maintain structural integrity over years of continuous use, even in areas with chemical exposure or airborne particulates.

UL certification and a 5-year warranty support long-term reliability. Routine inspection is recommended in environments with high vibration or corrosive agents.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The stanchion mount measures 5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inches. Its construction supports the mechanical loads of EXPLA and EXPLB fixtures without excessive deflection or risk of failure. The bracket?s finish resists corrosion and surface degradation in typical hazardous location environments.

All mounting hardware and attachment points are designed for compatibility with the specified fixture families. The bracket?s compact profile allows installation in areas with limited clearance or where conduit routing is constrained.

Where This Product Fits Best

This stanchion bracket is intended for use in hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required and a 90° mounting orientation is needed. It is commonly installed in:

• hazardous location lighting
• explosion proof lighting
• paint booth lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• refinery lighting
• marine environment lighting
• wastewater treatment lighting

The bracket?s environmental ratings and construction make it suitable for classified areas with flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers. It is not intended for non-classified or general-purpose industrial lighting applications.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires secure attachment to a compatible surface or conduit system, using hardware rated for hazardous locations. The bracket is designed for use with EXPLA and EXPLB fixtures only. Proper sealing and grounding are required to maintain hazardous location compliance.

Routine inspection of mounting integrity and hardware tightness is recommended, especially in environments with vibration or corrosive exposure. The bracket?s compact size allows for installation in areas with limited space or complex conduit layouts.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

The 90° stanchion mount is typically installed at wall, ceiling, or structural locations where a right-angle fixture orientation is required. Mounting height and spacing are determined by the fixture?s light distribution and the area?s classification requirements.

Spacing and layout depend on the specific lighting design and hazard zone coverage. Using higher output fixtures may reduce the number of mounting points needed, but can increase installation complexity due to weight and conduit routing.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This stanchion bracket is UL844 Hazardous Location certified. It meets Class 1 Div 2 (Groups E, F, G) and Class 2 Div 1 (Groups A, B, C, D) requirements. The bracket is covered by a 5-year warranty.

All installation and maintenance must comply with local codes and hazardous location standards. Only use with compatible explosion proof fixtures as specified.
