Ruffneck™ FX6 heaters are CULUS-certified for use in hazardous locations, specifically designed for harsh 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 heater core assembly is housed in a durable, epoxy-coated 12-gauge steel cabinet that contains the motor and fan assembly. Adjustable louvers enable directional airflow control, while a narrow gap, two-piece fan guard protects all moving parts. All fasteners are zinc plated for corrosion protection. The heaters are built to last, having undergone extensive technical analysis and testing during the design and development phases, and are manufactured under a registered quality assurance program. For hazardous location heating, the Ruffneck™ FX6 heater provides dependable and trouble-free service.
