Enclosures, ATEX-Certified

Pentair Technical Products has announced a fully featured, expanded line of Hoffman™ brand ZONEX™ IECEX- and ATEX-certified Enclosures. ZONEX hinge-cover and screw-cover enclosures are designed for use in applications where “increased safety” protection (Ex e), as defined by the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, is acceptable to safely house electrical components in Zone 1 and Zone 2 rated areas. These enclosures are not intended for use in explosion-proof or flame-proof (Ex d) applications. The expansion of the Type 316 stainless steel ZONEX platform includes new inch-based offerings in an extended range of sizes, including hinge and screw cover versions. All ZONEX models are now offered with enhanced customisation options including: material changes, size changes, paint options, holes and cut-outs, population of any ATEX-certified terminal block, stopping plug or drain, mounting bracket changes and other modifications. Hinge cover models are ATEX, IECEX, and AEx certified. Screw cover models are ATEX and IECEX certified. New inch-dimensioned hinge cover enclosures are available in sixteen standard sizes from 12" x 12" x 6" to 36" x 24" x 8" and come standard with NEMA-style mounting feet on the top and bottom, a full size bottom gland plate and a one-piece continuous gasket on the door and gland plate. Features and benefits of the ZONEX enclosure family make it simple to specify for diverse application requirements.
