Hazardous Location Cable-Pull Emergency Stop Switches

Safe to use near ignitable gases and dust, the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. All are UL listed and CSA certified for use in hazardous locations. Yank the cable anywhere along your line to quickly cut power in emergencies. They have positive-force, snap-open contacts that open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. The contacts will remain open until you tension the cable and reset the switch. Use the tension indicator to visually confirm that they’re reset correctly.

Hazardous Location Limit Switches


Safely open or close a circuit near ignitable gases and dust—the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. You'll know they're safe because they're NEC Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, and D; and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, and G certified for hazardous locations. These switches send a signal to your circuit when an object hits the actuator—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor. They open and close circuits as fast as snap-acting switches, but they have a bigger actuator for large objects.
Switches with a plunger actuator let you adjust the actuator’s height to easily align it with your target. They require a push to activate, similar to a button.
Switches with a wobble stick actuator have an arm that rotates 360°, so you don’t need to align it in a specific direction. The actuator won’t snap if pushed backward, such as if there’s a jam in your system.

Hazardous Location Enclosed Disconnect Switches


With a housing that’s designed to contain an explosion, these switches are safe to use in areas where ignitable concentrations of flammable or combustible gas, dust, or fibers may be present. They meet NEC Class I Div. 1 and 2, Groups B, C, D, and Class II, Div. 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G. Use them to cut power and keep it isolated, so equipment won’t accidentally start up during inspection or maintenance.
Made from aluminum, these switches also resist corrosion in wet or oily areas. They have a lockout, so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

Hazardous Location Differential Pressure Switches for Liquids

Tested and verified by UL and C-UL for use where explosive dust or gas are present, these switches have an explosion-proof enclosure that meets NEMA 7 and 9 standards for hazardous locations. They are often used to indicate a filter is clogged in a pump or cooling system. When the differential pressure reaches your setpoint, these switches can turn equipment on and off, activate automated controls, or signal alarms. They are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can be installed to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).
In addition to being UL and C-UL listed, these switches are CE marked, so they also meet European safety standards. All switches are IP and NEMA rated for use outdoors and to protect against some corrosion, dust, and washdowns.

Hazardous Location Flow Switches

UL listed for use where flammable gases or combustible dusts may be present, these flow switches activate or deactivate equipment when your flow rate reaches a set point. Use the adjustment screw to select their set point. They actuate when your flowing liquid or gas pushes their paddle into a certain position determined by the set point. All are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can either turn one device from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed). Mount them horizontally. Rated NEMA 4, they also protect against weather and washdowns.
These flow switches are calibrated with water and air. You can use them with other liquids and gases, but they may not measure accurately if the viscosity is different from water or air.

Fixed-Setpoint Hazardous Location Flow Switches

Safe to use where flammable gases and combustible dust may be present, these switches activate or deactivate when your flow reaches a factory-set level. All are UL listed for hazardous environments. Because their set point is fixed, they’re ready to go, making them easy to install. They actuate when your flowing liquid or gas pushes their paddle into a set position. These switches are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can turn one device from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). They must be mounted horizontally to function accurately.
These switches are calibrated with water and air. They can also be used with other liquids and gases but may not measure accurately if their viscosity is significantly different.
