Product Details
Ruffneck™ FX6 heaters are CULUS-certified for use in hazardous locations and are designed for the harshest 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. These heaters operate effectively in extreme conditions with low ambient temperatures as low as -58°F (-50°C). The FX6 features a larger junction box for easier installation, additional limit controls, and a heavy-duty core, along with two levels of pressure and thermal protection standard on all units for enhanced safety and reliability. The heater core assembly is housed in a sturdy, epoxy-coated 12-gauge steel cabinet, which also contains the motor and fan assembly. Adjustable louvers allow for directional control of the airflow, while a narrow gap, two-piece fan guard is included to protect all moving parts. All fasteners are zinc plated to prevent corrosion. With rigorous technical analysis and testing during design and development, all Ruffneck™ products are manufactured under a registered quality assurance program, ensuring proven safety and reliability. The 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 and G; and Class I Zones 1 and 2, Groups IIA and IIB, with a temperature code of T3B [329°F (165°C)]. The enclosures are classified as NEMA type 7 and 9, intended for dry indoor use only, and they should not be immersed in water or stored in areas exposed to rain or snow. Backup overpressure protection is standard on all heaters.
