Feraloy iron alloy construction combined with a cushion-type hanger delivers rugged durability against impact, corrosion, and mechanical shock in hazardous environments. This combination translates into long service life and reduced replacement costs for critical facilities. It is well suited to pendant mounting in ductbanks, platform housings, and outdoor hazard zones where vibration is common, helping luminaires stay properly aligned and securely anchored through the life of the installation.The ALT228 supports luminaires weighing 6-12 lb and uses a 3/4\" luminaire stem, standardizing the fit with a broad range of fixtures. This reduces field fabrication and procurement complexity by allowing installers to reuse existing hardware across projects. In practice, crews experience faster commissioning, fewer on-site adjustments, and less downtime when swapping or upgrading luminaires in busy facilities.Cushion-type mounting minimizes vibration-induced wear and maintains electrical and optical alignment over time. By absorbing movement from nearby equipment, it reduces loosening of connections and optic drift, which lowers maintenance calls and enhances lighting performance in demanding environments such as processing lines or heavy manufacturing, and ensures consistent photometric performance in long-running operations where luminaires are subject to periodic vibrations.Certifications and compliance: NEC/CEC standards alignment, Class I, Division 2 hazardous rating, and Canadian certification support cross-border projects and regulatory approvals. This combination reduces the risk of non-compliance during audits and simplifies procurement for global sites by providing a single, certified solution for hazardous-area luminaires.Compatibility and installation advantages: Pendant mounting with 3/4\" luminaire stems enables straightforward integration into existing ceilings and conduit runs, reducing the need for adapters or rework. The cushion design tolerates minor misalignments during initial positioning, while the Feraloy alloy resists wear in tough environments. Overall, the ALT228 delivers repeatable, reliable installations across multi-location deployments.Industry insights and serviceability: In practice, teams note faster retraining for maintenance crews when they encounter ALT228 due to clear mounting references and standardized stem size. By consolidating hardware and reducing field modifications, facilities realize lower total cost of ownership and increased uptime in continuous process environments.

FAQs

ALT228 uses a 3/4\" luminaire stem and supports luminaires in the 6-12 lb range, aligning with most standard hazardous-area fixtures. Installation is simplified by using existing hardware where possible, reducing field modifications. This compatibility speeds up commissioning and minimizes downtime during luminaire swaps or retrofits in Class I Division 2 environments.
ALT228 carries NEC/CEC compliance, a Class I, Division 2 hazardous rating, and Canadian certification. These certifications confirm suitability for hazardous locations, help meet regulatory requirements, and simplify cross-border procurement for North American operations. For projects in oil & gas, chemical processing, or mining, the certifications reduce compliance risk and support audits.
ALT228 is designed for both new installations and retrofits in hazardous locations. Its pendant-mount capability, cushion-type mounting, and 3/4\" stem compatibility enable easy integration with existing luminaire layouts and ceiling infrastructure. The robust Feraloy iron alloy construction also resists wear in high-vibration processes, ensuring dependable performance across repeated installations.
Key standards include NEC/CEC compliance for electrical safety, Class I, Division 2 ratings for hazardous locations, and regional certifications such as Canadian approvals. Selecting products with these certifications reduces audit findings, supports safe operation, and simplifies procurement for multinational sites that require consistent compliance.
ALT228 improves ROI by reducing installation time through compatible 3/4\" stems, minimizing field fabrication, and lowering downtime during maintenance. Its durable Feraloy iron alloy and cushion-type mounting lessen wear and vibration-related failures, resulting in fewer service calls and longer luminaire life—crucial for continuous operations in hazardous environments.
