Product Details
Ruffneck™ FX6 heaters are CULUS-certified for use in hazardous locations, engineered for extreme environments such as dry indoor industrial applications, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, pulp and paper mills, grain elevators, hazardous waste storage facilities, and wastewater treatment plants, where specific explosive gases or dust may be present. The heaters operate efficiently in low ambient temperatures as low as -58°F (-50°C). The FX6 features a larger junction box for easier installation, additional limit controls, a heavy-duty core, and provides two levels of pressure and thermal protection as standard for enhanced safety and reliability. The heater core assembly is housed in a durable, epoxy-coated 12-gauge steel cabinet that includes the motor and fan assembly, while adjustable louvers allow for directional airflow control. A narrow gap, two-piece fan guard is integrated to protect all moving parts, and all fasteners are zinc plated for corrosion resistance. The heater's hazardous location ratings include Class I, divisions 1 and 2; groups C and D; Class II, groups E, F, and G; Class II division 2, groups F & G; Class I zones 1 & 2, groups IIA & IIB temperature code T3B [329°F (165°C)], with enclosures meeting NEMA type 7 & 9 standards. The heater is intended for dry, indoor use only, and must not be immersed in water or exposed to rain or snow. Backup overpressure protection is standard on all units. All Ruffneck™ products undergo extensive technical analysis and testing during their design and development phases and are manufactured under a registered quality assurance program for proven safety and reliability.
