Eaton ECGJH28 Coupling - 8" Flexible, Class I, Div 1
Part Number: ECGJH28
Quick Summary
ECGJH28 coupling provides a flexible conduit connection for hazardous locations in industrial facilities. Rigid metal fittings can fail under vibration and thermal cycling, causing downtime and leaks. This ECGJH28 design is rated for NEC/CEC hazardous locations with Class I, Division 1 (and Class II, Division 1 and Class III) ratings, broadening applicability across mixed-use plants. Using this 8-inch flexible coupling reduces installation time and maintenance costs while ensuring robust, tamper-resistant connections. For engineers and procurement teams, ECGJH28 offers a reliable, code-compliant solution that integrates with standard 3/4 in conduit systems.

Eaton Specification Sheet - ECGJH28
Feature: The ECGJH28 provides an 8-inch flexible length with male connections on both ends and a 3/4-inch trade size. Business impact: This design reduces alignment errors and strain on enclosure fittings, delivering faster installations and fewer rework iterations in hazardous locations. Application: It is well-suited for panel-to-panel or equipment-to-conduit connections where space constraints demand a bend-friendly, robust coupling in Class I environments. Feature: Forged brass construction ensures high strength and corrosion resistance. Business impact: Longer service life translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer replacement fittings in demanding industrial and marine settings. Application: Ideal for offshore platforms, chemical plants, and other harsh environments where reliability is critical. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance with NEC hazardous rating Class I Division 1, plus Class II Division 1 and Class III. Business impact: Provides confidence and simplifies procurement across mixed-hazard facilities. Application: Suitable for facilities needing a single solution for multiple hazardous location classes. Feature: 3/4" trade size compatibility with standard conduit systems. Business impact: Streamlines retrofits and reduces inventory needs by aligning with common conduit fittings. Application: Works with standard EC explosion-proof couplings and wiring methods in hazardous area installations. Feature: Overall length 12.13 inches, with 8-inch flexible portion. Business impact: Provides solid support and routing options, easing mounting and protecting enclosures in tight layouts. Application: Beneficial for long runs along equipment frames in manufacturing facilities; installation guidance is available via IF 1618 and the ECGJH28 specification sheet.

FAQs
ECGJH28 is designed with a 3/4" trade size and male connections on both ends, enabling direct compatibility with common conduit fittings used in hazardous locations. This minimizes retrofit steps, reduces misalignment risk, and accelerates field assembly. Its forged-brass construction further ensures secure, corrosion-resistant joints that maintain enclosure integrity over time, even in vibration-prone environments.
ECGJH28 features an 8-inch flexible length, a total length of 12.13 inches, and a 3/4-inch trade size with male connections at both ends. Made from forged brass, it weighs approximately 2.55 lb. It is rated under NEC/CEC for hazardous locations with Class I, Division 1, and broader Class II/III hazard classifications, supporting compliant performance in diverse installations.
Yes. The product’s NEC hazardous rating includes Class I Division 1 and extends to Class II Division 1 and Class III, enabling use across multiple hazardous location classes. This simplifies procurement for facilities with mixed hazard profiles and reduces the need for multiple, different fittings while maintaining compliance with NEC/CEC standards.
To optimize performance, ensure the 3/4" trade size fits the conduit you’re using and follow the installation guidance documented in IF 1618 for ECGJH flexible couplings. The combination of an 8-inch flexible segment and robust brass construction helps absorb vibration and misalignment, reducing wear on enclosure seals and extending service life in demanding environments.
The ECGJH28 offers measurable maintenance benefits by delivering corrosion-resistant, durable joints that resist wear in harsh environments, lowering replacement frequency. Its flexibility reduces installation time and rework, diminishing downtime. In addition, its NEC/CEC compliant design minimizes regulatory risk, supporting faster commissioning and lower total cost of ownership in hazardous location projects.
