    FAQ

    What is the difference between a "Hazardous Location" freezer and an "Explosion-Proof" refrigerator-freezer?

    Only the name. There is no technical difference. The certification that the refrigerator-freezers have is the same, and they are both designed to prevent the combustion of volatile vapors both inside and out.

    We suspect that the decision to call them "hazardous location" rather than "explosion-proof" was one made by a lawyer. After all, if you used explosives, you could undoubtedly blow up an "explosion-proof" refrigerator-freezer. Don't try it, though.


    Is the American Biotech Supply Hazardous Location Location Refrigerator and Freezer also suitable for flammable materials storage? 

    Yes. The ABS Hazardous Location Refrigerator / Freezer combo unit is designed to be completely spark-free inside and out and all electrical components are sealed.

     

    The product description says that the temperature is adjustable, but also that the thermostat is "sealed in UL listed explosion proof box." Will I be able to get into the box to adjust the temperature?

    Yes, you can open the box and change the setting. This will not affect the warranty or the explosion proof properties of the unit as long as you properly close the box (which means not cross-threading the lid and tightening it appropriately).

     

    What is the weight limit of the shelves?

    Each of the shelves will hold 50 lbs of dispersed weight.
