Eaton ECGJH260 Flexible Coupling - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: ECGJH272
Quick Summary
ECGJH260 is a flexible coupling for connecting conduit fittings in hazardous locations. Long runs and vibrations demand rugged, easy-to-install connections to minimize downtime. It carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous location ratings Class I Division 1, plus UL certifications for explosion-proof service. This makes it a trusted choice for hazardous area equipment, offshore, refinery, and marine installations, with seamless compatibility to standard 3/4 inch trade-size fittings. This is especially valuable for engineering, procurement, and maintenance teams seeking consistent performance, minimal reworks, and auditable documentation for compliance audits. Its 60-inch flexible length and 3/4 inch trade size support efficient field deployment.

Feature: ECGJH260 offers a robust 60-inch flexible length with male connections on both ends and a 3/4-inch trade size, enabling direct, misalignment-tolerant runs between compatible conduit fittings in confined or irregular spaces. Business Impact: By eliminating the need for multiple elbows and adapters, it reduces installation complexity, shortens field time, and lowers labor costs, while improving overall wiring integrity in dynamic environments. Application: Ideal for long conduit runs in hazardous locations such as offshore platforms, refineries, and marine installations, where vibration, temperature swings, and space constraints demand a plug-and-play, code-compliant solution. Feature: Forged brass construction provides enduring strength and corrosion resistance in chemical, coastal, and industrial environments, where moisture and airborne contaminants challenge fittings. Business Impact: This material choice reduces maintenance intervals, maintains sealing and conductivity longer, and lowers replacement costs over the lifecycle of hazardous-area installations. Application: Use ECGJH260 in chemical processing plants, oil and gas facilities, and maritime operations where robust durability translates into higher uptime and safer electrical interfaces. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance for Hazardous/Classified Locations, including Class I Division 1 ratings, and UL explosion-proof certifications that cover North America. Business Impact: The certification bundle minimizes audit risk, supports multi-region deployments, and helps maintain safety standards across operations with diverse regulatory requirements. Application: Essential for EPCs, OEMs, and end users building electrical systems in refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, and other hazardous environments where compliance drives procurement. Feature: Compatibility with standard 3/4-inch trade size and male ends on both sides ensures easy integration with EC explosion-proof couplings and other Eaton Crouse-Hinds components. Business Impact: Simplifies inventory management, reduces the number of unique parts, and speeds repairs by enabling continued use of familiar connectors in planned maintenance. Application: Ideal for retrofit projects and new builds where ECGJH260 pairs with existing conduit systems to accelerate schedules and maintain installation quality.

FAQs
ECGJH260 is a 60-inch flexible coupling with male ends at both sides and a 3/4-inch trade size, designed to mate with standard Eaton Crouse-Hinds EC explosion-proof fittings and similar conduit components. It enables direct runs, reduces field modifications, and enhances installation speed in restricted spaces. For retrofits, verify connector compatibility and available mounting clearance per IF 1618 guidelines.
ECGJH260 carries NEC/CEC compliance for Hazardous/Classified Locations, including Class I Division 1 ratings, and UL explosion-proof certifications for both the U.S. and Canada. It also aligns with required area classifications. These certifications support audits, multi-region deployments, and safe operation in volatile atmospheres.
The 60-inch flexible length, 3/4-inch trade size, and forged brass body make ECGJH260 ideal for offshore platforms, refineries, and marine installations with long conduit runs and vibration. It reduces splices, improves reliability, and helps meet safety and regulatory requirements in hazardous environments, while integrating with existing EC components.
No special tools are required beyond standard conduit installation practices. Follow the IF 1618 installation sheet for ECGJH flexible couplings, ensure male-end connections are clean and tight, and respect the 3/4-inch trade size. The body length and weight influence on-site handling, so plan accordingly and use common hand tools for secure assembly.
