The EPL-AEY-6.7ID-RED-MOD1 from Larson Electronics is an Explosion Proof Fire Alarm Enclosure that features a highly visible red finish and an adjustable trunnion mount.

The EPL-AEY-6.7ID-RED-MOD1 is an explosion proof fire alarm enclosure most compatible with Gentex Commander4 series of fire alarms. This enclosure has a red finish to help indicate its purpose. An adjustable trunnion bracket allows users to mount the enclosure and re-position it to make the enclosed strobe light easy to see.
