FAQs
The EJB242408 S598 is designed to accommodate common termination practices in hazardous locations. With a 24 x 24 x 8 inch interior and left-side hinges, it supports standard conduit and gland installations while maintaining IP66 sealing. Ensure compatible gaskets and sealants per the installation sheet to preserve ingress protection during mounting and service.
This enclosure carries NEC/CEC compliance and extensive hazardous-location ratings including Class I, Division 1 and Zone 1, plus Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2, with additional Class II and Class III coverage. It also has IP66 ingress protection and multiple NEMA ratings (3, 3R, 4, 7, 9) to cover outdoor and hazardous environments.
Yes. The EJB series is designed for explosion-protected applications, featuring Style C construction with left-side hinges and copper-free aluminum for corrosion resistance. Its hazardous-location approvals, along with IP66 and NEMA ratings, make it well-suited for chemical processing, refining, and similar facilities.
Plan for appropriate lifting and mounting supports given the 320 lb weight, and ensure access clearances for left-hinged doors. Use correct seals, gasket compounds, and fasteners specified in the installation instructions. Verify that the enclosure orientation, gasket compatibility, and terminations meet NEC/CEC requirements for the specific hazardous-classification zones.
The copper-free aluminum construction and IP66/NEMA-rated protection reduce corrosion-related failures and maintenance cycles, lowering total cost of ownership. The robust design minimizes downtime during servicing, while certified compliance simplifies inspections, enabling longer service life and safer, compliant operation in demanding environments.
