H inging/Latching
Nominal 6-11/16" housing die
formed of code gauge prime
cold rolled steel. Smooth sides
permit flush joint for continuous
row mounting. Full seam welded
corners. Dihedral recessed top
design insures cooler ballast
operation. Die formed captive
lampholder bracket fully encloses
wiring permitting easy lampholder
replacement. Ballast/wireway
covers removed without tools.
Ballasts are CBM/ETL Class “P”
and are positively secured by
mounting bolts. Pressure lock
lampholders.UL/CUL listed.
Positive cam action spring loaded,
self locking, steel latches. Safety
lock T-hinges allow hinging and
latching either side.
