as defined in the National Electrical Code. Failure to
comply can result in explosion or fire.
Depending upon the specifications, the NWHMT may or may not
be factory equipped with AR or other Chromalox thermostats. Such
thermostats function to control outlet temperatures and limits internal
temperatures under abnormal flow conditions. These controls do not
fail-safe.
Hazardous area terminal housings are available, consult your
Local Chromalox representative for details.
