Westinghouse 0794800 Fluorescent Tube Guard 48 in T12 Clear

Product Description

The WESTINGHOUSE 0794800 is a clear fluorescent tube guard designed to protect T12 linear fluorescent lamps measuring 48 inches in length. Tube guards serve as a physical barrier around the lamp, reducing the risk of glass and phosphor powder dispersal in the event of accidental breakage. This type of guard is commonly installed by electricians and maintenance technicians in commercial, institutional, and industrial environments where lamp breakage poses a contamination or safety concern. End caps are included, providing a complete, ready-to-install assembly without the need for additional hardware.

This tube guard is suited for use with standard 48-inch T12 fluorescent lamps installed in linear strip fixtures, wrap-around fixtures, and troffer housings. Typical applications include food service facilities, schools, warehouses, and retail spaces where overhead fluorescent lighting is prevalent and lamp protection is required by code or facility policy. The clear color allows full light transmission from the underlying lamp without significant reduction in output.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained maintenance technician. De-energize the fixture and allow the lamp to cool before handling. Slide the tube guard over the lamp and secure the included end caps at each end to hold the guard in place. Ensure the fixture door or lens can close fully after the guard is installed, as the guard adds minimal diameter to the lamp assembly.
