Eaton Specification Sheet - ECGJH18 S516
Stainless steel construction provides outstanding corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, translating to longer service life and lower maintenance costs in chemical plants and offshore installations. This means fewer field replacements and less downtime when critical conduits must remain sealed and secure. The 8" flexible length with 1/2" trade size and male connections at both ends enables rapid, tool-free alignment and easy field modifications, accelerating installs and reducing labor hours on busy plant floors. With IP66 protection, the coupling resists dust and water ingress in wet, dusty, and outdoor locations, lowering ingress-related failures and extending equipment life in marine or wastewater facilities. NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliance streamlines procurement for global projects and ensures regulatory alignment during audits and certifications. The Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, and Class III ratings expand application versatility, helping you consolidate vendors and simplify inventory. This unit remains compatible with ECGJH family fittings and standard conduit systems, reducing training time for technicians and improving overall project throughput.

FAQs
ECGJH18 S516 features male connections on both ends and a 1/2" trade size, enabling seamless integration with standard ECGJH accessories and other ECGJH series fittings. Its 8" flexible length supports tight routing, while stainless steel construction ensures durable mating with compatible conduit systems in hazardous locations. Ensure you match with compatible seals and grommets per installation instructions for optimal ingress protection.
This coupling is NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certified and rated IP66, supporting safe operation in Hazardous/Classified Locations. It provides Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, and Class III protection, aligning with common industrial compliance requirements. Canadian and global certifications are available via referenced conformity documents. Always verify local authority approvals prior to procurement for a given project site.
Yes. The stainless steel body, IP66 ingress protection, and explosionproof design make it well-suited for offshore platforms, chemical plants, and other hazardous-location facilities. The 8" flexible length and robust sealing minimize maintenance needs and reduce routing constraints in constrained spaces typical of process plants and marine applications.
Key considerations include ensuring proper alignment of male ends, selecting compatible ECGJH accessories, and using appropriate seals and gaskets per the IF1618 installation guidance. The 1/2" trade size supports standard fittings, while the 8" flexible length reduces the need for excessive bending. Verify IP66 integrity after installation with a proper sealant and torque specs to prevent ingress.
The coupling delivers extended service life in corrosive and harsh conditions, minimizes maintenance downtime due to robust ingress protection, and simplifies procurement with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certified compliance. These factors collectively reduce lifecycle costs, shorten project timelines, and improve reliability for critical conduit installations in challenging environments.
