nVent Hoffman Hazardous Location Enclosures
nVent Hoffman hazardous location enclosures are engineered to protect electrical and electronic components in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts may be present. These explosion-proof enclosures are designed to contain internal ignition sources and prevent the propagation of explosions into the surrounding atmosphere, helping ensure personnel safety and regulatory compliance in high-risk industrial settings.
Built to meet stringent standards such as UL, ATEX, and IECEx, nVent Hoffman hazardous location enclosures are commonly used in industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, mining, food processing, and bulk material handling. They house critical control systems, instrumentation, junctions, and monitoring equipment that must operate reliably in classified areas. Heavy-duty construction, precision-machined joints, and secure gasketing help maintain enclosure integrity under harsh operating conditions.
nVent Hoffman offers hazardous location enclosures suitable for Class I, II, and III applications, with configurations available for Division 1 and Division 2 environments. Class II enclosures are specifically designed for areas with combustible dust and often feature threaded conduit entrances, reinforced steel construction, and dust-tight sealing. Corrosion-resistant finishes and NEMA 4X options further extend service life in aggressive or outdoor environments.
