ROUND UP HAZARDOUS AREAS + SAFETY
Cable junction box – for harsh environments
Renowned for their innovative electrical termination products, Pratley has developed a new
cable junction box that is perfectly suited for harsh environments. Called the Ex e Enviro
Junction Box, it is IP68/66 rated and is dual certified Ex e and Ex n – ‘Explosive Protected’.
The Enviro Junction Box is suitable for use in hazardous gas zones 1 and 2 as well as
combustible dust zones 20, 21 and 22. To assist with visual inspection, the box has red bands
that allow it to be easily identified as Ex rated equipment.The Pratley Enviro Junction Box
is manufactured from a tough, impact-resistant material which will not crack or corrode
during its lifetime and it may safely be installed in both
domestic and industrial reticulations. It is available
with either a black lid or a transparent Polycarbonate
lid to simplify inspection of the electrical circuit.
In hazardous locations, Pratley Kwikblok rail
mounted Ex e terminals may be fitted to the
junction box. For versatility and convenience
the Pratley Enviro Box is supplied with two
blanking plugs. It is also recommended that
the junction box be fitted with Pratley’s range
of Enviro Cable Glands which are suitable for
both armoured and unarmoured cables.
