Eaton Specification Sheet - ALC3232
The cushion-type fixture hanger design provides controlled movement and shock absorption, reducing vibration-induced wear on luminaires and fittings. This directly lowers maintenance cycles and replacement costs in harsh industrial environments, where constant vibration can loosen fixtures and degrade performance. Applications include chemical processing plants, oil refineries, and other hazardous locations requiring durable pendant hangers. Pendant mounting with a 3/4 in luminaire stem and a 1 in trade size delivers versatile compatibility across many luminaires. This enables faster retrofits and adapter-free installations, saving labor in field upgrades. Used in new builds and upgrades in process plants and refineries. Feraloy iron alloy construction adds high strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in aggressive environments such as chemical, petrochemical, and mining facilities. The weight rating of 24-48 lb provides a safe, scalable solution for typical hazardous-area fixtures while keeping ballast and hardware under control. Compliance with NEC/CEC and Class I Division 2 ratings minimizes project risk and simplifies approvals. Canadian certifications and UL listings further streamline cross-border procurement and reduce certification delays for multinational operations. Overall, the ALC3232 offers compatibility with Eaton and third-party luminaires, ease of installation, and a robust lifecycle cost profile for disciplined maintenance budgets.

Begin by verifying the area classification as Hazardous/Classified Locations and ensure compliance with NEC/CEC. Use the pendant mounting with a 3/4 in luminaire stem and a 1 in trade size fixture, securing with appropriate hardware suitable for Class I, Division 2 environments. The cushion-type design helps absorb shocks during installation and operation, while the 24-48 lb luminaire rating guides selection for the intended fixture. After mounting, align the luminaire and perform a final torque check on all fasteners to ensure safe suspension in demanding industrial settings.
The ALC3232 supports NEC/CEC standards and carries a Class I, Division 2 hazardous rating. It is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations area classifications and is listed for Canadian certification per UL documentation. This combination provides cross-border regulatory alignment, reduces project risk, and facilitates procurement for multinational facilities requiring compliance in both the US and Canada.
Yes. The ALC3232 is specified for a 3/4 inch luminaire stem and a 1 inch trade size, making it compatible with a broad range of pendant luminaires used in hazardous locations. This compatibility helps streamline retrofits and new installations without the need for adapters, enabling faster project completion in industrial environments.
The cushion-type design provides controlled movement and vibration damping, reducing stress on luminaire connections and mounting hardware. This leads to longer fixture life, fewer maintenance calls, and improved uptime in environments with heavy equipment, vibration, or shifting loads. For sites like chemical plants or oil refineries, this translates into lower total cost of ownership and more predictable operation.
The ALC3232 supports luminaires weighing between 24 and 48 pounds, aligning with common hazardous-location fixtures used in industrial facilities. The product itself weighs 3.5 pounds and is designed for pendant mounting with a 3/4 in stem and 1 in trade size. Ensure your chosen fixture falls within the weight range to maintain safe, compliant suspension in Class I, Division 2 environments.
