Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KILLARK from 3G Electric.
What are the voltage and mounting options for Killark hazardous-location strobe lights?
Killark LED strobe lights for hazardous locations are available in several voltage configurations. Models in the current 3G Electric listing operate on 12 to 80 VDC, 24 VAC, or 120 to 240 VAC. Mounting options include pendant, wall, and ceiling mount, with overall heights ranging from 8 in to 18 in depending on the model. Lens colors include amber, red, and green. These units are rated for Class III environments where combustible fibers or flyings are present. Confirm the specific model number for voltage, mounting, and lens color before ordering.
What is the difference between Killark vertical sealing fittings in iron and aluminum?
Killark vertical sealing fittings are available in iron and aluminum constructions. The iron version, such as the EY-75MWW, has a 3/4 in trade size and female-to-female NPT connections. The aluminum versions, such as the EY-75WW and EY-50WW, feature a powder-coated finish and are available in 3/4 in and 1/2 in trade sizes respectively. Both materials are rated for 25% fill and carry cCSAus certification. Aluminum models are lighter, while iron offers different mechanical properties. Selection depends on the conduit system requirements and environmental conditions.
Are Killark sealing fittings certified for Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations?
Some Killark sealing fittings are cCSAus certified for Class I, Division 1 and 2, Groups B, C, and D hazardous locations. For example, the EY-50WW powder-coated aluminum vertical sealing fitting with 1/2 in FNPT connections carries this rating. Certification varies by model and material. Always verify the specific certification marking on the product or datasheet for the intended installation. The cCSAus mark indicates compliance with applicable Canadian and U.S. standards for hazardous location equipment.
What is the fill rating for Killark vertical sealing fittings?
The Killark vertical sealing fittings listed by 3G Electric have a 25% fill rating. This refers to the maximum cross-sectional area of conductors allowed within the fitting, as specified by the manufacturer and applicable electrical codes. The 25% fill rating is common for sealing fittings used to prevent the passage of gases, vapors, or flames through conduit systems. Installers must select the correct trade size and ensure conductor fill does not exceed the rated percentage. Refer to the product datasheet and NEC requirements for proper installation.
What materials and finishes are used in Killark sealing fittings?
Killark vertical sealing fittings are constructed from iron or aluminum. The aluminum models feature a powder-coated finish for added corrosion resistance. Iron models are typically uncoated or have a standard finish. Both materials are used in hazardous location conduit systems. The choice between iron and aluminum may depend on weight, environmental exposure, and compatibility with the conduit system. Powder coating provides a durable surface that resists chalking and corrosion in industrial environments.
How does 3G Electric support Killark product selection?
3G Electric supplies Killark hazardous-location products globally and provides specification data for each listed item, including trade size, voltage, mounting, lens color, material, finish, and certification. For project requirements, 3G Electric can quote specific configurations and verify availability. Technical selection should be based on the applicable electrical code and the product datasheet. 3G Electric does not provide engineering design services; buyers should consult a qualified engineer for installation requirements.
