FAQs
When installing ECGJH248 S516 in Class I, Division 1 locations, follow the IF 1618 installation sheet and the Eaton datasheet for proper mating, torque, and sealing procedures. The 52.13 in overall length and 48" flexible section enable adaptation to complex layouts while maintaining a gas- and dust-tight connection. Use compatible stainless-steel fittings and ensure proper SEALING glands to maintain explosion-protection ratings.
Yes. ECGJH248 S516 uses a 3/4" trade size with male connections on both ends, designed to pair with standard conduit components and widely used 3/4" raceways. This compatibility simplifies procurement, reduces part diversity, and speeds on-site installations in hazardous-area environments while preserving IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC compliance.
ECGJH248 S516 carries IECEx/ATEX certifications for global hazardous-location use and NEC/CEC classifications (Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 1; Class III). UL certification documentation is available for North American and Canadian markets, and the catalog page references compliance documents to support regulatory approvals and audits.
The stainless-steel construction and robust design reduce corrosion-related downtime and part failures, lowering maintenance frequency and replacement costs. Its long 48" flex segment minimizes the number of joints, decreasing potential leak points and maintenance labor. Over the project lifecycle, this translates to measurable cost savings and improved system reliability.
Official resources include the Eaton ECGJH248 S516 specification sheet, IF 1618 installation instructions, and UL certification pages. You can also access the Crouse-Hinds EC catalog page for additional technical notes. These documents provide wiring guidelines, safety classifications, and installation steps to facilitate compliant procurement and installation.
