Built with a malleable iron mounting hood and globe adapter, this fixture is suitable for hazardous, industrial, and wet locations where moisture, dirt, or corrosive atmospheres are a concern. Unitized construction and a shock-absorbing porcelain socket combine to reduce installation costs while extending lamp life in demanding environments.

  • Neoprene Rubber Ring: Seated in the neck of the reflector and snaps into the groove of the mounting hood to protect against vibration and chipping.
  • Maximum Input Voltage: Rated for up to 150V.
  • Tool-Free Guard: Guard snaps into two recesses of the adapter – no clamps required.

Why Appleton?

Appleton engineers the V-51 Series with a malleable iron hood and globe adapter finished in a triple-coat process of zinc electroplate, chromate, and epoxy powder coat, backed by a shock-absorbing porcelain socket and neoprene sealing ring. Certified to CEC and NEC hazardous location classifications, this fixture is built for dependable, code-compliant performance in the demanding industrial and wet-location environments where standard luminaires fall short.

V-51 family note: the Appleton V-51 platform is built from several distinct sub-series (VGL, VPG1, VA, VGAT, VXHA, VWG, VC, VD, and others), each a different combination of mounting hood, globe material, and guard style for 60-300W hazardous-location lighting — not simple variants of one base fixture. This listing is one specific sub-series; see the other V-51 Series listings for the different hood/globe/guard combinations.

Appleton VWG-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What hazardous location classifications does the Appleton V-51 luminaire carry?
Under NEC it is rated Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D. Under CEC it covers Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G; Class III; and Enclosure 3R. That makes it a fit for combustible dust and fiber areas as well as Division 2 vapor areas, but it is not a Class I Division 1 fixture, so it should not go in an opening classified Division 1 for flammable gases or vapors.
2) What lamp does the Appleton V-51 take, and what wattage can I run in it?
It takes a medium base incandescent lamp from 60 to 300 watts. The socket is porcelain with a brass screw shell and is shock absorbing, which is what keeps filament life reasonable on vibrating structures like conveyor framing or tunnel walls.
3) Can I run the Appleton V-51 luminaire on 277V?
No. The V-51 is rated for a maximum input voltage of 150V, so it suits 120V circuits but not 277V lighting branch circuits. If your building runs 277V lighting, this fixture is the wrong choice for that circuit.
4) Will the Appleton V-51 hold up in a wash-down or corrosive plant environment?
It is an enclosed, gasketed fixture built for wet, dirty and corrosive areas. The mounting hood and globe adapter are malleable iron with a triple coat finish of zinc electroplate, chromate and epoxy powder coat, and a neoprene rubber ring seats in the neck of the reflector to seal and cushion the glass globe. The CEC listing includes Enclosure 3R, which is a rain-tight rating.
5) Which Appleton V-51 sub-series should I order - what makes VWG-1 different from the others?
The V-51 platform is not one fixture with simple options. It is a set of distinct sub-series (VGL, VPG1, VA, VGAT, VXHA, VWG, VC, VD and others), each a specific combination of mounting hood, globe material and guard style for 60-300W hazardous location lighting. Catalog number VWG-1 is one of those combinations. If the hood, globe or guard you need is different, the correct move is to order the matching sub-series catalog number, not to substitute parts on this one.
6) How does the Appleton V-51 mount - can I get it for wall or stanchion mounting instead of pendant?
The V-51 platform is offered in pendant, 45 degree stanchion, and a range of ceiling and wall mountings. The mounting style is built into the sub-series you order rather than being a field-adjustable option, so pick the sub-series that matches how the fixture lands on your structure.
7) How is the Appleton V-51 wired in the field?
It comes with a connection block, so the electrician lands supply conductors on the block rather than splicing to fixture leads inside the hood. Combined with the unitized construction, that is what keeps install labor down on a large run of these.
8) Does the Appleton V-51 guard need clamps or extra hardware to install?
No clamps. The steel guard snaps into two recesses in the globe adapter, so it goes on and comes off without tools. The guard is finished in zinc electroplate and porcelain enamel.
9) Is the Appleton V-51 a good fit for a warehouse or tunnel lighting job?
Those are exactly its stated applications: storage and warehousing, tunnels and subways, chemical plants and processing facilities, plus general hazardous, industrial, wet, corrosive or dirt-prone areas. The malleable iron body and cushioned porcelain socket are aimed at spots where a standard sealed luminaire gets hit or shaken.
