Product Overview
Killark HKB HKGL Hazardous Enclosure with Installed Gastech FX Transmitter - Used
This listing covers a Killark HKB / HKGL hazardous-location enclosure fitted with a Gastech FX Series gas transmitter. The assembly is industrial-grade equipment designed for classified environments where ignition-risk mitigation is essential.
Killark enclosures have a long-standing role in hazardous-location infrastructure, often outlasting entire system upgrades. This unit carries that legacy forward: a workhorse housing paired with a field-proven detection platform, rediscovered after service and ready for reassessment in its next installation.
Product Condition
Used, clean, and in good condition with visible scuffs and scratches from normal use and storage. The Gastech FX transmitter is untested. Enclosure hardware and external components show typical handling wear without affecting structural integrity.
Product Overview
Killark’s HKB / HKGL series enclosures are engineered for hazardous classified areas where flame containment, durability, and compliant wiring practices are required. The Gastech FX Series transmitter installed inside the housing is a fixed-point gas detection module used across industrial plants, energy sites, and processing environments. This configuration is common in legacy safety systems where mechanical protection and electronic sensing must be integrated in a single field assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Gastech FX transmitter operational?
The transmitter is untested. Buyers should assume evaluation, calibration, or service may be required before use.
Does the enclosure maintain its protective function?
The housing remains solid with typical scuffs from field use. No damage observed that would prevent inspection or integration, though buyers should verify fit for their specific classified-area requirements.
What differentiates the Killark HKB / HKGL series?
These enclosures are widely used in hazardous areas for their rugged mechanical construction and compatibility with explosion-resistant system design practices.
Can the transmitter be replaced or upgraded?
Yes. The enclosure provides mechanical protection for a variety of detection modules; users often retrofit updated sensors while preserving the housing.
Is this suitable for field deployment as-is?
Condition and performance testing should be completed by qualified personnel before installation in any safety-critical environment.
Industrial protection hardware often outlives the systems around it, and this enclosure-transmitter pairing is no exception. Now it awaits its next role wherever hazardous-location reliability still matters.
