Larson Releases Explosion Proof Tool Tap Reel with Three Receptacle Plugs

Larson Electronics, Kemp, Texas, USA, has released an explosion-proof tool tap reel with three explosion proof receptacle plugs. The EPLRT3-100-HR explosion proof reel with a tool tap provides easy management of an included 100 ft. of SOOW cord that gives operators in hazardous locations the ability to easily extend the working reach of tools and lighting equipment. The explosion proof reel is rated Class 1 Division 1 and Class 2 Division 2 and includes the reel, the 100’ ft. cord, and the three class matching twist-n-lock plug receptacles. The unit is of a modular design and is suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. It is rated for 35 amps, 1-4 conductors 600 volts, and 5-12 conductors 250 volts.

The cord feeds onto the reel assembly through a four-roller adjustable cable guide with a ball stop. The reel includes an integral spring actuated ratcheting mechanism for positive cord management housed within the explosion proof threaded slip ring enclosure. The cord reel is assembled to UL 508 table 36.1/NEC standards and conforms to NEMA 9 and NEMA 4 (IP56) standards as well. The cord reel is ideal for use with drop lights and tools in locations where connection to fixed receptacles is unavailable or impractical, and safely extends the operational range without creating the hazards associated with excessive cord length strewn about the work space.
