FAQs

When installing the EBY2682, ensure an appropriate 3/4" NPT gland fit to maintain the explosion-proof integrity. Use compatible non-armoured tray cables within the 0.375-0.500" sheath range and verify the site is within NEC/CEC hazardous-location classifications. Follow the IF 389 instruction sheet for step-by-step mounting and torque recommendations to avoid compromising the enclosure seal.
Yes. The EBY2682 is specified for tray cable non-armoured conductors, making it suitable for common plant wiring where flexible, armored protection is not required. This compatibility reduces inventory fragmentation and simplifies procurement, while still delivering explosion-proof performance in hazardous locations.
The EBY2682 carries NEC/CEC compliance and NEC hazardous ratings Class I, Division 1 and Class II, Division 1, supporting use in Hazardous/Classified Locations. It aligns with area classifications for hazardous environments and is supported by Canadian certifications as listed in the product literature and UL reports.
The connector uses a 3/4" NPT gland thread and is manufactured from aluminum. It is intended for non-armoured tray cable with an outer sheath diameter range of 0.375-0.500". The overall length is 6.25" and height/width are 2.06" each, with a weight of 1.25 lb, enabling a compact, robust installation.
The EBY2682 provides durable, explosion-proof protection and corrosion-resistant aluminum housing, reducing maintenance intervals in harsh environments. Its compatibility with standard gland fittings and tray cable simplifies spare-part planning, while NEC/CEC compliance minimizes regulatory risk and supports faster audits and inspections, delivering a favorable total-cost-of-ownership over equipment lifecycles.
