Explosion Proof Wall Mount Arm Bracket | Class 1 Div 2

Product Overview

Explosion Proof Wall Mount Arm Bracket is designed for secure wall mounting of explosion proof lighting fixtures in hazardous locations. This bracket is compatible with our EXPLA and EXPLB series explosion proof fixtures. The bracket is constructed from steel and measures 5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inches, providing a compact and robust mounting solution for environments where Class 1 Div 2 and Class 2 Div 1 requirements apply.

Typical use includes mounting explosion proof fixtures in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, such as paint booths and chemical processing facilities. The bracket is intended for fixed wall installations where hazardous location compliance is required.

Core Performance and Output

This wall mount arm bracket is engineered to support the weight and mounting requirements of explosion proof fixtures in hazardous environments. The steel construction provides structural integrity for fixtures within the specified size and weight range. The bracket?s compact dimensions allow for installation in confined or space-limited areas.

UL844 certification and Class 1 Div 2, Groups E, F, G and Class 2 Div 1, Groups A, B, C, D ratings ensure suitability for hazardous locations. The bracket is not intended for use with fixtures exceeding the recommended weight or size for EXPLA and EXPLB models. Mounting on non-structural or thin wall surfaces may reduce load capacity.

Adjustability and Control Options

This bracket provides a fixed wall mounting solution. There are no integrated adjustability features such as tilt or rotation. Fixture orientation is determined by the mounting position and the design of the compatible explosion proof fixture.

No electrical or control components are included with the bracket. All fixture aiming and control must be managed through the attached fixture or external systems.

Longevity and Reliability

The steel construction and powder-coated finish are selected for durability in hazardous and industrial environments. The bracket is designed to maintain structural performance over long-term use in areas exposed to dust, vapors, and occasional cleaning.

Corrosion resistance is suitable for most indoor hazardous locations. For marine or highly corrosive environments, additional surface protection or alternative materials may be required.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The bracket measures 5.6 x 5.6 x 4.2 inches and is fabricated from steel for strength and rigidity. The mounting plate and arm are designed to align with the mounting patterns of EXPLA and EXPLB explosion proof fixtures.

All welds and fastener points are reinforced to support the static load of compatible fixtures. The bracket is finished to meet hazardous location requirements and minimize the risk of sparking or degradation in classified areas.

Where This Product Fits Best

This wall mount arm bracket is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required. It is commonly used in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts, and where wall-mounted fixture installation is preferred.

• hazardous location lighting
• explosion proof lighting
• paint booth lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• refinery lighting
• wastewater treatment lighting
• solvent storage area lighting

Environmental characteristics include classified hazardous areas, indoor or sheltered locations, and facilities requiring UL844, Class 1 Div 2, and Class 2 Div 1 compliance. Not intended for outdoor marine or offshore use without additional protection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires secure attachment to a structural wall capable of supporting the combined weight of the bracket and compatible explosion proof fixture. All mounting hardware should be selected to match the wall material and hazardous location requirements.

Routine inspection of mounting integrity is recommended, especially in environments with vibration or exposure to cleaning agents. The bracket is designed for permanent installation and does not require regular adjustment or repositioning.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Explosion proof wall mount brackets are typically installed at mounting heights ranging from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the lighting requirements and fixture type. Spacing between brackets is determined by the lighting layout and coverage needs of the facility.

Brackets are often deployed in rows along walls in paint booths, chemical processing rooms, or hazardous storage areas. Using higher output fixtures may reduce the number of brackets required, but can increase the need for careful aiming to avoid glare or shadowing.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This bracket is UL844 listed for hazardous locations and meets Class 1 Div 2 Groups E, F, G and Class 2 Div 1 Groups A, B, C, D requirements. All materials and finishes are selected to comply with hazardous location safety standards.

Warranty coverage is provided in accordance with LED Lighting Supply?s standard terms for explosion proof mounting accessories. Refer to documentation for details on coverage and exclusions.
