FAQs

APA42172 installation should account for pendant mounting clearance, stable support for a 55.5 inch fixture, and proper enclosure seals to maintain IP66 integrity. Use 120-277Vac supply with appropriate wiring methods per NEC Class I Division 2 requirements, and ensure the 3/4 inch entry is sealed against dust and moisture during retrofit or new installs.
APA42172 carries NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings including Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1, and Class III, with IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4 rating. This makes it suitable for chemical plants, refineries, mining sites, and other classified locations where rugged, compliant lighting is required.
Yes. The 55.5 in length, 2-lamp 32W design, pendant mounting, and IP66/NEMA 4 rating support retrofit projects in oil refineries and other hazardous environments. Its aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens resist corrosion, while the flat lens maintains clear illumination, minimizing downtime during conversion and ensuring ongoing safety compliance.
The APA42172 offers long service life due to rugged construction and sealed IP66 protection, reducing cleaning cycles and component replacements. The 4 ft lamp length and 2-lamp configuration help stabilize lumen output, improving workspace productivity. While initial cost is higher than some nonhazardous options, extended maintenance intervals and regulatory compliance contribute to favorable total cost of ownership.
APA42172 uses pendant mounting with a 3/4 inch entry and supports 4 ft T8 fluorescent lamps with bi-pin bases. This aligns with common industrial layouts and facilitates straightforward upgrades or replacements without extensive rewiring, supporting rapid deployment across multiple zones in hazardous environments.
