These reels are also commonly referred to as "explosion-proof" or "hazardous duty" reels. They are built with modular "1400 Series" components, coupled with a spark-proof ratchet and explosion- proof slip ring housing.
• Waste water treatment plants • Paint booths • Chemical plants
Standard Features:
• SOW-A cable, on all reels • Spring activated ratchet • 4 roller adjustable cable guide and ball stop • Built to UL 508C table 36.1 / NEC Standards • 6’ feeder cord on fixed end • Indoor or outdoor use • 35 amp, 1-4 conductors 600 Volt, 5-12 conductors 250 Volt • Rugged fabricated steel and cast aluminum construction • Threaded cast aluminum slip ring enclosure • Gray epoxy finish on steel parts
Choosing a 1500 Series Cable Reel:
UL Listed (3 and 4 conductor models with cable installed only)
• Use the "Lift/Drag" chart below for selecting your 3 or 4 conductor UL listed 1500 Series reel.
• Class I Division 1, Groups C & D (flammable gases or vapors) • Class II Division 1, Groups E, F, & G (combustible dusts) • Class III Division 1 (easily-ignitable fibers or flyings) • Class I Zone 1: AEx d IIB, EX d IIB • Conforms to NEMA 9 and NEMA 4 (IP56) standards
• Cable length is actual length. Be sure to order enough cable - see "Cable Length Needed" on Cable Reel Specification Data Sheet below.
• This reel can accommodate other applications - see Specification Data Sheets on below.
1500 Series Options:
• Hazardous Location Hand Lamps • Hazardous Location Swivel Bases • 345 pivot base for 1500 Series reels
The most common 1500 Series configurations are listed above. Cable lengths listed are the total length of cable on the spool, plus some allowance for "safety wrap".
The reels below: • Are UL and cUL Listed, NEMA 4X. • Come with one conductor grounded to the reel. For example 3 conductors = 2 live conductors + 1 ground (for single-phase use) • Come with Type SOOW-A cable pre-installed . • Come with Ball Stop, if 3 or 4 Conductors
Reels operate best when the cable is pulled no more than 15 degrees from parallel with the guide, and retracted the same way. For greater payout angles, we recommend adding a pivot base or swivel base.

** Add the two-digit code from the list below to the above part numbers to assure that the reel is properly set up for the desired application.
IMPORTANT: If the reel is expected to payout and retract at a very high cycle rate, or is operating in an exceptionally harsh environment, you may need Premium Cable - us for details.
XX = Available for Lift/Drag (11) and Retrieve (31) only. Suffix "31" indicates that the reel can only handle a "Retrieve" application.

Ideal for extra lighting when Hand Lamp needs to be used in a hazardous location. Light-weight construction. Features non- sparking aluminum or plastic guard with full swivel hook and high impact glass reinforced phenolic handle. Resists heat up to 300o F. Accepts up to 16/3 SOOW-A cable. 13 Watt, 120 Volt, UL listed.
Pivot Bases allow the cable reel to pivot back and forth for alternating directions of cable payout. See chart below for maximum rotation.
If cable payout exceeds 150 away from parallel to the spool, a pivot base should be used.
Note that "Swivel Bases" are available for applications that require a full 360° pivot. Pivot Bases are ordered based on the specific series of reel used:
Hazardous Location Reels, Explosion Proof Cable Reels, Hazardous Duty Reels, Conductix Wampfler Hazardous Duty Cable Reels, Motor Driven Electric Cable Reel, Spring Activated Retractable Cable Reel, and Indoor/Outdoor Cord Reels from your source for material handling equipment.
