Killark Enclosures
Killark industrial and hazardous location enclosures are engineered to protect electrical and electronic components in severe operating environments. Commonly used in chemical and petrochemical plants, oil refineries, mining operations, and processing facilities, these enclosures are designed to withstand exposure to flammable gases, combustible dusts, moisture, vibration, and corrosive substances. Their rugged construction supports safe and reliable operation in both standard industrial and classified hazardous locations.
Manufactured from durable materials such as cast aluminum, stainless steel, and other corrosion-resistant alloys, Killark enclosures provide long service life in demanding conditions. Explosion-proof and hazardous location models are designed to help contain internal faults and reduce ignition risks while meeting applicable safety and compliance requirements. These enclosures are available in a wide range of sizes, configurations, and ratings.
As a Hubbell brand, Killark offers both standard and customized enclosure solutions for housing control panels, junction boxes, and instrumentation. Design features such as hub openings and conduit raceway compatibility help support safe installation, inspection, and maintenance while maintaining enclosure integrity in hazardous environments.
