Appleton EFKF34WQ Explosionproof Switch Cover - Direct Replacement for 3-Way and 4-Way EFS Switches

Appleton EFKF34WQ Explosionproof Switch Cover - Direct Replacement for 3-Way and 4-Way EFS Switches

Running a 3-way or 4-way circuit through a classified area? The EFKF34WQ is Appleton's explosionproof, dust-ignitionproof front cover built for 3-way and 4-way non-sealed EFS tumbler switches 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.
