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.
