Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECLK1180 coupling - NEC/CEC
Part Number: ECLK1180
Quick Summary
ECLK1180 coupling provides flexible electrical connections for hazardous-area conduit systems in industrial plants. Long conduit runs and rugged environments demand dependable, corrosion-resistant fittings that minimize leaks and downtime. UL certification for hazardous locations, NEC/CEC compliance, and Class I, Division 1 ratings ensure safety and regulatory alignment across global projects. This coupling combines a forged brass body with a 180" flexible length and 1/2" trade size, simplifying installation and reducing part complexity. By choosing Eaton Crouse-Hinds EC-series connectors, procurement teams gain predictable performance, easier maintenance, and better lifecycle cost for critical process lines. In demanding facilities, relying on proven EC explosionproof couplings supports uptime and regulatory peace of mind.

FAQs
ECLK1180 uses a 1/2" trade size and features male/female ends, aligning with standard 1/2" conduit fittings and fittings in typical hazardous-area installations. This simplifies field assembly and reduces the need for adapters.
The ECLK1180 is UL-rated for hazardous locations and NEC/CEC compliant, with Class I, Division 1 ratings. It supports Class II and Class III environments and is designed for hazardous/classified locations per NEC/CEC guidelines.
The 180" flexible length allows routing around tight spaces and obstacles, reducing the number of fittings needed, cutting installation time, and lowering material costs while maintaining a robust explosionproof seal.
Yes. The ECLK1180 is engineered for Class I, Division 1 locations and conforms to NEC/CEC requirements, providing safe operation in hazardous-area conduit systems.
Regular inspection for corrosion and seal integrity is advised. The forged brass construction resists corrosion, but periodic checks ensure the internal seals remain uncompromised for ongoing reliability in challenging environments.
