What is the correct sizing for the Class 0 Glove Kit Voltage Insulating Glove Kit?

The correct sizing for the National Safety Apparel Class 0 Rubber Voltage Insulating Glove Kit depends on the circumference of your palm, as the kit is available in sizes 8-12.

To ensure the Class 0 Glove Kit provides the necessary protection, you must measure the circumference around your palm to determine your specific size. Because these are high-voltage rubber gloves designed to prevent electrical shock, a proper fit is critical; a glove that is too large can lead to a loss of dexterity and precision during electrical work. This kit includes the necessary leather protectors, which must be worn over the rubber gloves to prevent punctures. We selected this kit for our review because it meets the ANSI/ASTM D120, Class 00, Type 1 standard for electrical safety. It is rated for a maximum use voltage of 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC. Because these gloves have a specific shelf life and require regular inspection, you should check the stamped test date on the glove to ensure the material remains safe for use.

What to Check Before Buying the Class 0 Glove Kit

Before purchasing these rubber and leather hand protectors, verify these specific requirements to ensure the gear meets your job site needs.

• Measure your palm circumference accurately to match the 8-12 sizing scale.
• Verify that the kit includes the 10″ leather protectors required for use with the rubber gloves.
• Check the manufacture’s specific size guide to confirm which palm measurement corresponds to your size.
• Confirm the glove’s stamped test date is current to ensure it meets its inspection interval.
• Ensure the specific arc flash compliance (NFPA 70E-2015 or CSA Z462-15) meets your local regulatory requirements.

Choosing the Right Voltage Insulating Gloves

The Class 0 Glove Kit is designed for workers like electricians and linemen who need protection against specific voltage thresholds. If you are working in environments requiring higher voltage protection than 1,000V AC, you would need to look at different classes of insulating gloves. For users who require extreme dexterity, the thickness of the rubber and the fit of the leather protector are the primary factors to consider. If you require a different fit or a specialized material for non-electrical hazards, you may need to look at different glove types that do not carry a voltage rating.

If you are a utility worker or electrician who needs a kit that meets ANSI/ASTM D120 standards for 1,000V AC applications, the National Safety Apparel Class 0 Rubber Voltage Insulating Glove Kit is the appropriate choice.
