Copper-free aluminum
Copper-free aluminum enclosure reduces weight and minimizes corrosion in aggressive environments. This improves total cost of ownership by easing handling during installation and extending service life. Application: ideal for chemical plants, refineries, and offshore environments where metal exposure is common. IP66 and NEMA 4 rated enclosure provides robust ingress protection. Benefit: protects energized components from dust, water jets, and washdown, reducing unplanned downtime. Application: suitable for wash-down areas and outdoor installations on factory floors. Surface-mount 4-way design with a 3/4" trade size simplifies mounting around equipment and supports standard conduit connections. Benefit: speeds panel wiring and allows flexible positioning in constrained spaces. Application: ideal for compact control panels and equipment housings in hazardous locations. Copper-free aluminum enables easier disposal and lighter weight for installation teams, reducing handling time and labor costs on site. Application: field deployments where weight and corrosion resistance matter most. Hazardous location ratings—Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2, plus Class II and III where applicable—provide regulatory assurance. Benefit: facilitates compliance workflows and reduces risk during commissioning and maintenance. Application: multi-industry use in chemical processing, refining, and power generation.

FAQs
The HFSX2BC is a four-way, surface-mount device box sized for a 3/4" trade connection. In hazardous locations it carries NEC/CEC compliance with Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings and IP66/NEMA 4 protection, making it suitable for panel installations near solvents, vapors, and washdowns. Installers should mount on solid supports, use appropriate conduit fittings, and ensure seals remain intact to preserve ingress protection.
The enclosure is IP66 and NEMA 4 rated, meaning it resists dust ingress and powerful water jets, while providing a weatherproof enclosure suitable for washdown environments. It also carries hazardous location ratings (Class I, Division 2; Zone 2; Class II/III as applicable) per NEC/CEC, enabling safe operation around flammable gases, vapors, and dust in industrial facilities.
Yes. In addition to Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings, the HFSX2BC lists Class II, Division 1 and Division 2 and Class III ratings, enabling use in environments with combustible dust and more severe material requirements. This broadens applicability across chemical processing, metalworking, and other facilities with mixed hazard classifications.
The enclosure complies with NEC/CEC standards for hazardous locations, carries area classification ratings, and provides NEMA 4 and IP66 protection. This combination supports regulatory compliance during design, installation, and maintenance across diverse industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and power utilities.
Benefits include reduced downtime due to robust ingress protection, lighter copper-free aluminum construction for easier handling, and faster installation from a compact surface-mount, 4-way design. Compliance with multiple hazardous location ratings minimizes regulatory risk, enabling quicker project approvals and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
