ZONEX Enclosure Accessories
ZONEX enclosure backplates are designed to provide a secure and reliable mounting surface for electrical and control components installed within hazardous location enclosures. Manufactured for compatibility with Hoffman ZONEX enclosures, these backplates support organized layouts while helping maintain compliance with stringent industrial safety standards. They are commonly used in applications where electrical equipment must be isolated from potentially explosive atmospheres.
Available in galvanized or painted steel, ZONEX backplates offer durability and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding industrial environments. Galvanized steel backplates provide enhanced protection against moisture and corrosion, while painted steel options offer a clean, uniform finish for controlled environments. Both materials are engineered to withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses associated with hazardous location installations.
