FAQs
ECGJH18 features male connections at both ends and a 1/2 in trade size, making it compatible with standard conduit fittings used in NEC/CEC-compliant installations. The 8 inch flexible length enables in-line routing around equipment, reducing misalignment and easing field assembly while preserving flame-path integrity in Class I, Division 1 environments.
ECGJH18 is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC standards. It carries Class I, Division 1 ratings and compatibility with Class II, Division 1 and Class III as applicable. This ensures regulatory alignment for explosion-proof conduit connections in hazardous areas, supported by the Canadian certification documentation and the EC Declaration of Conformity where available.
Industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and offshore facilities benefit from ECGJH18 due to its forged brass construction, hazard-rated ratings, and flexible length. Use cases include long conduit runs in restricted spaces, retrofit projects needing quick, reliable connections, and environments demanding robust, compliant couplings for safety-critical installations.
Installation sheets and certification documentation are available from Eaton, including IF 1618 for ECGJH19/IF1618 instruction sheets and the EC/UL certification pages. Procurement teams should reference the Crouse-Hinds EC catalog page and the ECGJH18 specification sheet to ensure correct part numbers, installation steps, and regulatory compliance before field deployment.
The ECGJH18 coupling reduces downtime through faster, tool-light assembly with male-male connections and a compact 8 inch form-factor. Forged brass resists corrosion in harsh environments, lowering replacement cycles. The combination of quick installation, regulatory compliance, and reduced maintenance labor translates to lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s lifecycle.
