Appleton EFKF12Q Explosionproof Switch Cover - Direct Replacement for EFS Tumbler Switches

Appleton EFKF12Q Explosionproof Switch Cover - Direct Replacement for EFS Tumbler Switches

Working in a classified area and need a cover that will not let you down? The EFKF12Q is Appleton's explosionproof, dust-ignitionproof front cover built for a 1-pole or 2-pole, non-sealed EFS tumbler switch, rated 20 A at 120 to 277 VAC. Drop it onto an EFD type single-gang box and you have got a flame-tight setup that holds up in Class I, Division 1 and 2, Groups C and D; Class II, Division 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III conditions.

This one is malleable iron all the way through, with smooth ground mating surfaces so the cover seats flame-tight against the body every time. You get the mounting screws, the internal ground screw, and stainless hex head cap screws in the box, so there is nothing extra to track down before you close it up. The front-operated handle padlocks in either ON or OFF, which makes lockout and tagout straightforward on the jobsite.
