APPLETON™ AND OZ/GEDNEY™ EXPLOSIONPROOF JUNCTION BOXES AND

CAST CONTROL CENTERS FIELD DRILLING AND TAPPING INSTRUCTIONS

IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THESE





• Series JBEW explosionproof junction boxes are used where hazardous materials are handled or stored. These junction boxes may be used for
terminals, splicing wires, pull boxes or bus boxes.

• Series CSEW explosionproof cast control centers are used where hazardous materials are handled and stored. Cast control centers allow
for auxiliary devices, such as push buttons, switches, pilot devices, etc. to be installed into one enclosure to satisfy a wide range of control
applications. The CSEW Series of enclosures have only been investigated and CLASSIFIED by Underwriters Laboratories as to explosion

and re hazards.

• Refer to the product nameplate for important information regarding the hazardous location rating, enclosure environmental rating, agency
approval(s), and important safety information. Adhere to all warning and caution statements that may be located on the exterior or interior of the
enclosure.

• Class I, Division 1 locations require a conduit seal to be installed in each conduit run within the specied distance noted on the product

nameplate.

• Unused conduit openings shall have a certied close-up plug installed that has the same hazardous location ratings as the enclosure. The
close-up plug must engage a minimum of ve full threads.

• Only qualied personnel should install, inspect, and perform regular maintenance on the enclosure.

• Take extreme care not to damage the at-machined ange when opening the enclosure cover. Damaging the ange could affect the enclosure’s

integrity to protect the hazardous area.

• Dirt, grease, and other foreign material must not accumulate on the at-machined ange surface of the body and cover. The cover and body must

fully mate against each other to provide the proper protection to the hazardous area.

• Do not attempt to repair the cover gasket if damaged; contact factory for replacement. Remove damaged gasket and continue to use the

enclosure. The gasket does not affect on the enclosure’s safety for use in hazardous locations. However, the enclosure’s environmental rating(s)

will no longer be valid.

• Install only approved drain and/or breather ttings that have the same hazardous location ratings as the enclosure. Note, if a drain and/or
breather tting are installed, care must be taken during hosedown operations. The enclosure may be watertight, but the drain and breather may

not be.

• Always keep the cover bolts tight to prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres and disconnect circuits before opening cover.

• Perform all machining operations prior to installation of the enclosure.

• The enclosure shall be installed in accordance with all national and local electrical codes, and be acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

• Since the conditions of use are outside of our control, the purchaser should determine the suitability of the enclosure for the intended use and

assumes all risk and liability in regards to the specic application.

WARNING

1. Enclosure may be furnished with or without drilled and tapped openings. Drilling and tapping of conduit and cover openings are subject to the
limitations of maximum size, number of openings, and spacing. Perform all machining operations prior to installing enclosure. Refer to the drilling
and tapping sections for additional information.

2. It is the responsibility of the installer to properly install the enclosure using the mounting feet supplied with the enclosure.

3. Mount the enclosure on a at surface capable of supporting the enclosure, controls devices, wiring, etc. For the approximate weight of enclosure,

reference TABLE 1.

4. Attach conduit system with seal tting(s) in accordance with the required distance stated on the product nameplate.

5. Remove cover bolts and set aside. Take extreme care not to damage the at-machined ange of the body and cover.

6. Pull wires into enclosure leaving enough length to make the required electrical connections.

7. To meet the NEC and CEC requirements for grounding of electrical equipment, install the grounding kit supplied with enclosure. Refer to

GROUND LUG INSTALLATION section for information on how to install the grounding kit.

8. Inspect and perform a continuity test for all electrical connections, including an insulation resistance testing for unwanted grounds.

9. Check cover and body at-machined anges for scratches and/or gouges before installing cover. Clean the anges and inspect the cover gasket

for damage.

10. Line up the cover and body bolt holes. Hand start the corner bolts rst, before installing the remaining cover bolts. Tighten cover bolts to the

required torque.

11. Cover must fully seat against the body ange to provide a proper explosion proof joint.

12. Seal conduits entering enclosure per the manufacturer’s installation instructions and the applicable national and local electrical codes.

TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK TURN POWER OFF BEFORE INSTALLATION
