Explosion-protected terminal boxes GBX
In case of use in an extremely aggressive atmosphere, you can obtain
information concerning the chemical resistance of the materials used
from your Cooper Crouse-Hinds branch.

The terminal boxes are intended for the distribution of electrical energy
e.g. light circuits, heater circuits, control circuits, intrinsically safe circuits
etc. in hazardous areas (see technical data).
The data as per point 3 and 4 shall be taken into account with the

For the mounting and operation, the respective national regulations as
well as the general rules of engineering will have to be observed
(IEC/EN 60079-14).
The enclosure is mounted through the screw channels lying outside the
sealing space.
In the case of enclosures that have to be set up outside, it may be
necessary to take measures to ensure that operation is in accordance
with the intended use. This would include, for example, roofs as
protection against rain or outer housings with an adequate protection
class.
Enclosures shall be mounted horizontally over the wall or on the
horizontal surfaces.
The chosen screw shall match the fastening hole (see dimensional
drawing) and it must not damage the hole (e. g. use of a washer).
If the screws are overtightened, the apparatus can be damaged.
