Electrical Accessories to Keep You Powered On

When storing chemicals that give off flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dust particles, explosion proof outlets have several unique features to maximize safety while preventing explosions.
These outlets prevent explosions by separating the plug from hazardous fumes and gases before making a connection with the outlet. Its unique twisting feature locks and isolates the plug to create an airtight attachment between plug and outlet. This ensures that sparking will not occur when the outlet begins drawing electricity, regardless of any combustible or flammable compound present.
Our non-explosion proof outlets provide a reliable, compliant solution when you need a power source on the exterior of your building. These exterior outlets can be non-explosion proof, even when the material being stored is flammable. A weatherproof shield covers the outlet to ensure the it is protected and will always perform, regardless of climate changes or precipitation.
U.S. Chemical Storage’s standard load centers create a centralized location for electric panels and breakers, providing protection for all load bearing circuits. All load centers can be connected to a microcontroller that will switch critical systems to emergency power in the event of a power outage.
All custom electrical accessories come pre-wired to the building’s main control panel. Standard load centers are UL-Listed, Single Phase, 3-Wire, 120/240 V 100 A Load Center (NEMA 30) with a circuit breaker. Rainproof and sleet/ice-resistant enclosures are intended for use outdoors. Explosion and non-explosion load centers are available.
Use explosion proof load centers in locations that are hazardous due to flammable gases or vapors, combustible dust, easily ignitable fibers and debris. These circuit breakers protect appliances against over-current and short circuiting and have main ratings of 100 to 225 amps.
Use non-explosion proof load centers in chemical storage buildings that will not be used to store flammable, combustible, or ignitable chemicals. Outdoor and rainproof non-explosion proof load centers are available with main ratings between 60 to 225 amps and capable of housing up to 42 circuit breakers.
An optional break glass shutdown can be installed on an exterior wall of any chemical storage building for emergency shut down of all electrical equipment operating inside the building such as exhaust fans, fan driven A/C and heating systems and more.
U.S. Chemical Storage electrical junction boxes are mounted on the building’s exterior. Use to protect wiring from exposure to hazardous environments, as well as to prevent damage from tampering.
Our non-explosion proof switches are used for situations where dust, grit, oil, grime, or moisture could otherwise impede the function of the switch or render it useless. Switch enclosures are particle and water tight, as well as corrosion resistant.
Wall mount telephones are ideal for clean-room environments. Our wall mount telephone is protected with a weatherproof NEMA 4X enclosure for superior protection. The phone features a full keypad with push buttons for user compatibility, two auto-dial buttons, auto answer, and a smooth front panel. (Wiring to be completed by others.)
Lighting is crucial to efficient, safe operations. We offer a wide variety of explosion and non-explosion proof lights.
