Hazardous Location Heaters
Hazardous Location Heaters – Explosion Proof Electric Heaters Built for Safety and Reliability
In high-risk environments—oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, refineries, paint booths, grain elevators, and other classified hazardous locations—standard heaters are not an option. You need equipment certified to contain ignition sources and prevent explosions in Class I and Class II, Division 1 or Division 2 areas.
Not Sure What Class or Division Your Facility Needs?
Getting the classification wrong has real consequences. Specify the wrong explosion proof heater for a Class I, Division 1 environment and you're looking at failed inspections, project delays, and equipment that has to come back off the wall.
Class I locations involve flammable gases or vapors. Class II covers combustible dust. Division 1 means the hazard exists under normal operating conditions. Division 2 means it's only present when something malfunctions or fails.
At NorthStock, we specialize in explosion proof electric heaters and hazardous location heaters designed for these demanding applications. Our lineup includes:
- Explosion-proof unit heaters – Fan-forced models with high CFM output for large spaces, rapid heat delivery, and precise temperature control.
- Explosion-proof convector heaters – Natural convection units for quieter operation, lower airflow, and reliable heating in hallways, vestibules, and smaller zones.
All products are UL-listed or CSA-approved for hazardous locations, with rugged construction (heavy-gauge steel, corrosion-resistant finishes, explosion-proof motors and enclosures) that meets NEC requirements and withstands harsh industrial conditions.
