FAQs
The EPP42B is designed for pendant-mount installation in Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 hazardous locations, delivering reliable protection with a brass guard and tempered glass globe. Its medium base accepts up to 2x27W incandescent lamps, with a pendant mounting method that supports typical industrial ceilings. When planning retrofits, ensure enclosure integrity, proper wiring methods per NEC/CEC, and appropriate clearances for service access.
EPP42B operates at 250 Vac with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating and uses two 27W incandescent lamps (A-19 max). It features a medium base and a shallow dome reflector for improved light distribution. This combination supports standard industrial voltages, simplifies lamp replacements, and aligns with common inventory and maintenance practices in hazardous-area facilities.
Yes. The EPP42B is engineered to meet IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, providing dust-tight and water-resistant protection suitable for harsh industrial settings. This makes it appropriate for chemical plants, refineries, and other facilities where exposure to moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres is a critical concern, reducing the risk of fixture failure and downtime.
Best suited for hazardous locations requiring reliable pendant lighting, such as petrochemical processing, mining, wastewater treatment, and processing plants. Its brass guard, tempered globe, and protective enclosure support long service life in environments with dust, vibration, and potential chemical exposure, while the 2x27W incandescent load keeps maintenance straightforward in legacy systems.
Maintenance focuses on lamp replacement within the A-19 size, guarding integrity checks, and enclosure cleanliness to preserve IP66/NEMA 4X performance. ROI benefits come from reduced downtime, fewer fixture replacements due to robust construction, and compatibility with common stock lamp inventories, enabling predictable lifecycle costs and faster maintenance cycles in hazardous facilities.
