Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECGJH172 Flexible Coupling - Class I
Part Number: ECGJH172
Quick Summary
The ECGJH172 is a flexible conduit coupling used to join electrical runs in hazardous area installations, enabling long, rugged connections with minimal space impact. In real-world plants, operators struggle to maintain conduit integrity when routing through tight spaces, vibrations, and extreme temperatures without a proven, compliant solution. This ECGJH172 product is UL-listed for hazardous locations and carries an EU CE declaration of conformity, while meeting NEC/CEC requirements for Class I, II, and III services. Its 75.75 inch length and 1/2 inch trade size deliver versatility for long runs, and its forged brass construction supports reliable sealing and durability, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime in explosion-proof wiring environments.
