Ampco H-10FG Non-sparking Bricklayers Hammer 1-1/2 Lb

Product Description

The AMPCO H-10FG is a non-sparking bricklayers hammer built for work in hazardous environments where ignition risk must be eliminated. The head is cast from aluminum bronze, a material that resists sparking, corrosion, and magnetic interference. The head weighs 1-1/2 pounds and measures 1-1/8 inches in face diameter with a smooth striking face. Overall length is 14 inches. The handle is fiberglass with a grip for control and vibration reduction. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trades specify non-sparking tools in environments governed by OSHA hazardous-location requirements and ASTM F2503 standards.

This hammer is suited for masonry, demolition, and chipping tasks in refineries, petrochemical plants, grain facilities, wastewater treatment sites, and any location where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The curved claw style allows pry and extraction work alongside the primary striking function. The fiberglass handle resists moisture and chemical exposure common in industrial and utility environments. It is appropriate for both heavy trade use and plant maintenance crews who must comply with hazardous-area tool specifications.

Key Features

• Corrosion-resistant head material extends service life in wet or chemically aggressive conditions
• Smooth 1-1/8 inch face diameter for controlled strikes on masonry and chisels
• Fiberglass handle with grip reduces hand fatigue and resists moisture absorption
• Meets ASTM A342 and ASTM F2503 standards for non-sparking hand tools

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use non-sparking bricklayers hammer for masonry, industrial maintenance, and hazardous-location applications requiring ASTM F2503-compliant striking tools.

Installation Notes

Non-sparking hammers should be inspected before each use for cracks, chips, or loose handle connections that could compromise safe operation. Follow site-specific hot work and hazardous-area entry procedures before beginning any task. Never use a damaged or loose-headed hammer in a classified hazardous location. Handle replacement, if ever needed, should be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions and inspected before returning the tool to service.
