Safe to use near ignitable gases and dust, the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. All are UL listed and CSA certified for use in hazardous locations. Yank the cable anywhere along your line to quickly cut power in emergencies. They have positive-force, snap-open contacts that open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. The contacts will remain open until you tension the cable and reset the switch. Use the tension indicator to visually confirm that they’re reset correctly.

Safely open or close a circuit near ignitable gases and dust—the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. You'll know they're safe because they're NEC Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, and D; and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, and G certified for hazardous locations. These switches send a signal to your circuit when an object hits the actuator—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor. They open and close circuits as fast as snap-acting switches, but they have a bigger actuator for large objects.

Switches with a plunger actuator let you adjust the actuator’s height to easily align it with your target. They require a push to activate, similar to a button.

Switches with a wobble stick actuator have an arm that rotates 360°, so you don’t need to align it in a specific direction. The actuator won’t snap if pushed backward, such as if there’s a jam in your system.

Safely turn motors on and off near ignitable gases and dust—the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. Made from aluminum, the housing is lightweight and durable. It guards against water, oil, and other materials that could cause damage. Even in harsh conditions, there’s no need to mount these switches inside an electrical panel.

You need to grip and twist the lever to actuate these switches, so they won’t accidentally turn on or off if something bumps into them. In addition to starting and stopping motors, they work with other circuits, such as lighting and electric heat circuits. They don’t provide overload protection.

With a housing that’s designed to contain an explosion, these switches are safe to use in areas where ignitable concentrations of flammable or combustible gas, dust, or fibers may be present. They meet NEC Class I Div. 1 and 2, Groups B, C, D, and Class II, Div. 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G. Use them to cut power and keep it isolated, so equipment won’t accidentally start up during inspection or maintenance.

Made from aluminum, these switches also resist corrosion in wet or oily areas. They have a lockout, so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

Regulate the amount of power flowing to your heater with the turn of a dial. Instead of a temperature sensor or input, these controllers work like a dimmer on a light switch. To incorporate them, first plug in the temperature controller, then plug your heater into the socket on the bottom of the controller. These controllers are NEMA rated for use in hazardous, corrosive, dusty, and washdown environments.

Often used in hazardous locations, such as chemical plants, refineries, and grain elevators, these switches have a housing that’s UL listed for environments with flammable gases, combustible dust, and ignitable fibers. It is UL listed for use in Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups B, C, and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 hazardous locations. The housing also meets NEMA 4X for use in washdown environments with splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust. Install the threaded probe directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components to turn heating equipment on or off at a specified temperature. Set actuation points with the adjustment dial.

Switch with one actuation point has one SPDT (single pole, double throw) relay. The relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

Switch with two actuation points has two SPDT (single pole, double throw) relays. Each relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

Turn heating equipment on or off in environments with flammable gases, combustible dust, and ignitable fibers, such as chemical plants, refineries, and grain elevators. The switch housing is UL listed for use in Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups B, C, and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 hazardous locations. It also meets NEMA 4X for use in washdown environments with splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust. Switches have a probe on a cable for remote temperature readings. Set actuation points with the adjustment dial.

Switch with one actuation point has one SPDT (single pole, double throw) relay. The relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). The probe has 1/2 NPT male threads for installation directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components. It comes with a bushing that adapts the thread size to 3/4 NPT male.

Switch with two actuation points has two SPDT (single pole, double throw) relays. Each relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

These valves are rated for environments where hazardous material is present. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, they create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate. Return actuation is by spring, so they go back to their original position when voltage is removed. Also known as 4-way valves.

5/3 (closed center) valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment.

Built with an explosion-proof enclosure to meet NEMA 7 and 9 standards for hazardous locations, these switches were tested and verified by UL and CSA for use where explosive liquids, dust, and gas are present. When they reach the set pressure, they power equipment, signal controls, or trigger alarms. They’re single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can be installed to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). In addition to being UL listed and CSA certified, these switches are CE marked, so they also meet European safety standards.

All switches are IP and NEMA rated for use outdoors and protection from some corrosion, dust, and spraying water.

IP67 and NEMA 4X rated switches seal out water from temporary submersion and have increased protection against corrosion, similar to 304 stainless steel.

With an explosion-proof enclosure that meets NEMA 7 and 9 standards for hazardous locations, these switches were tested and verified by UL and CSA for use where explosive gas or dust may be present. Often used with ovens, dryers, and HVAC systems, they can indicate a filter is clogged or help maintain a certain air pressure. These switches turn equipment on and off, activate automated controls, or signal alarms when the differential pressure reaches your setpoint. They are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can be installed to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

In addition to being UL listed and CSA certified, these switches are CE marked and FM approved, so they also meet European safety standards. They also are IP and NEMA rated for use outdoors and protect against dust and splashing water.

When measuring pressure in ductwork, pair them with a static pressure probe.
