Appleton V-51 VPT Series Incandescent Luminaire, Hazardous Location

The Appleton V-51 VPT Series is a family of enclosed and gasketed incandescent luminaires built for 60 to 300 Watt medium base incandescent lamps. Designed for hazardous, industrial and wet locations, these fixtures combine a malleable iron mounting hood and globe adapter with a durable triple-coat finish, and carry a maximum input voltage of 150V. Typical uses include storage areas, tunnels, subways, chemical plants and other environments where moisture, dirt or corrosive atmospheres are a concern.

Why Appleton?

Appleton engineers the V-51 VPT Series with a malleable iron hood and adapter, triple-coat corrosion protection, and a shock-absorbing porcelain socket to withstand demanding hazardous and wet-location environments. Unitized construction and a clamp-free, snap-in guard simplify installation and long-term maintenance, delivering code-compliant lighting performance for industrial and hazardous-duty applications.

What this is: this listing covers two V-51/Code Master replacement parts, not a complete luminaire — VPT-7 is a replacement connection block (50-300W), and VPT-8 is a replacement reflector attaching ring (neoprene). Both are service parts for an existing V-51 fixture, which explains why this listing is priced far below the complete-fixture listings elsewhere in the V-51 family. If you're shopping for a complete new fixture, see the VGL, VPG1, VA, VGAT, or other V-51 Series listings.

Appleton VPT-8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Appleton VPT-7 a complete light fixture or just a part?
VPT-7 is a service part, not a fixture. It's the replacement connection block for an existing Appleton V-51 / Code Master luminaire, covering the 50-300W range. If you need a whole new luminaire, look at the V-51 family fixture catalog numbers such as VGL, VPG1, VA, or VGAT instead.
2) What is the difference between Appleton VPT-7 and VPT-8?
Two different service parts for the same V-51 luminaire. VPT-7 is the electrical piece, the connection block rated 50-300W that the supply conductors land on. VPT-8 is mechanical, the neoprene reflector attaching ring that seats in the reflector neck and snaps into the mounting hood groove to guard against vibration and chipping. Ordering one does not get you the other.
3) Will the Appleton VPT-7 connection block handle a 300 watt lamp?
Yes. The VPT-7 connection block is rated 50 to 300W, which covers both V-51 lamp ranges, the 60-150W and the 150-300W medium base incandescent. Maximum input voltage on the fixture is 150V, so don't put this block on a 277V circuit.
4) Can I use these V-51 parts in a Class I Division 2 area?
The V-51 VPT Series luminaire they service is rated NEC and CEC Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D, plus CEC Class II Divisions 1 and 2 Groups E, F, G, CEC Class III, and Enclosure 3R. Using the manufacturer's own VPT-7 block and VPT-8 ring is what keeps that classification intact after a repair. A generic terminal block or an o-ring off the shelf does not.
5) My V-51 globe rattles and the reflector chips at the neck. Which part do I need?
That's the neoprene ring doing its job badly, or gone. VPT-8 is the reflector attaching ring, and it sits in the reflector neck and snaps into the groove in the mounting hood. It's the piece that isolates the reflector from vibration and stops chipping. A rattle at the neck is almost always a flattened or missing ring.
6) Do these replacement parts fit any Appleton luminaire, or only the V-51?
They are V-51 Series and Code Master service parts. VPT-7 and VPT-8 are built for that fixture family, which uses a malleable iron mounting hood and globe adapter. Don't order them for an unrelated Appleton fixture line.
7) We maintain V-51 fixtures in a wet chemical plant. Which spare should we stock?
Both, and for different reasons. In corrosive and wet service the neoprene reflector ring (VPT-8) is the wear item, it takes the heat cycling and vibration. The VPT-7 connection block is what you replace after moisture or corrosion gets into a splice. The fixture bodies themselves carry a triple coat of zinc electroplate, chromate and epoxy powder coat over malleable iron, so the housing usually outlasts the soft parts.
8) Does the VPT-7 connection block come with the porcelain socket?
No. VPT-7 is the connection block alone. The porcelain socket with brass screw shell, the glass globe, and the steel guard are separate components of the V-51 luminaire and are not included with this service part.
