(OP)
If you have an explosion proof receptacle, is it also waterproof.
I have a production facility where they are washing the walls with a high pressure nozzle. The walls have explosion proof receptacles on it, I assume that they would also be water tight?

Years ago it was extremely difficult to find an enclosure dual-rated as explosion-proof and water-proof. Maybe things have changed - I haven't dealt with this from a long time.
