Malleable iron construction with a triple-coat finish, a glass globe, and a porcelain socket with brass screw shell combine to deliver a rugged luminaire rated for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D environments. Maximum input voltage is 150V, and unitized construction helps reduce installation and maintenance time on demanding job sites.

Why Appleton?

Appleton engineers the V-51 VGAT Series with unitized, malleable iron construction and a triple coat corrosion-resistant finish to withstand the moisture, dirt, and corrosive atmospheres found in demanding industrial environments. With Class I, Division 2 hazardous location ratings and a shock-absorbing porcelain socket, this luminaire is built for code-compliant, long-lasting performance where standard fixtures 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 VGAT-75 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Appleton V-51 VGAT luminaire be used in a Class I, Division 1 area?
No. The VGAT Series is rated for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D under the NEC and CEC, plus CEC Class II Divisions 1 and 2 (Groups E, F, G) and CEC Class III. Division 2 means the flammable atmosphere is only expected under abnormal conditions. If your area classification drawing calls for Class I Division 1, this fixture does not cover it and you need an explosionproof Division 1 luminaire instead.
2) What lamp does the Appleton VGAT hazardous location fixture take?
Medium base incandescent lamps, in two wattage bands: 60 to 150 W and 150 to 300 W. The socket is porcelain with a brass screw shell, and it is shock absorbing to extend lamp life under vibration. Maximum input voltage is 150V, so this is a 120V-class fixture, not a 277V one.
3) How does the VGAT differ from the other Appleton V-51 fixtures like VGL, VPG1 or VWG?
The V-51 platform is not one fixture with options. VGL, VPG1, VA, VGAT, VXHA, VWG, VC and VD are distinct sub-series, each a different combination of mounting hood, globe material, and guard style for 60-300W hazardous location lighting. VGAT is the malleable iron hood with a glass globe and a snap-in steel guard. If your drawing calls out a different suffix, order that sub-series rather than assuming VGAT substitutes.
4) Will the Appleton VGAT luminaire hold up in a wet or corrosive wash-down area?
It is built for it. The fixture is enclosed and gasketed, the mounting hood and globe adapter are malleable iron with a triple coat finish (zinc electroplate, chromate, then epoxy powder coat), and it carries an Enclosure 3R rating. Typical uses are chemical plants, tunnels, warehouses, and wet or corrosive atmospheres.
5) Is the guard included on the VGAT fixture, or ordered separately?
The VGAT configuration includes a steel guard with zinc electroplate and porcelain enamel finish. It snaps into two recesses in the globe adapter, so there are no clamps to fit or lose during a lamp change. The glass globe sits behind it.
6) What is the difference between VGAT-50 and VGAT-75?
Those are the two catalog numbers offered in the VGAT sub-series, ordered by their catalog designation VGAT-50 and VGAT-75. Both are the same malleable iron, glass globe, steel guard build for Class I Division 2 areas; pick the catalog number your spec or existing fixture schedule calls out.
7) How does the Appleton VGAT luminaire mount, pendant or ceiling?
Mounting choices include pendant, 45 degree stanchion, and a range of ceiling and wall mountings, so it can go on a stem drop in a warehouse bay or bracket off a wall in a tunnel. A connection block is furnished for wiring, and the unitized construction cuts down install and maintenance time.
8) Will vibration from nearby equipment shorten lamp life in this fixture?
The VGAT is built against that. A neoprene rubber ring in the neck of the reflector snaps into the groove of the mounting hood to absorb vibration and prevent chipping, and the porcelain socket is shock absorbing for longer lamp life. That combination is why these get specified near compressors, conveyors and subway installations.
