Eaton Specification Sheet - ECLK148
Feature: 48 inch flexible length enables long runs with fewer fittings, reducing installation time and potential leak points. Business Impact: Faster commissioning, lower labor costs, and improved system integrity in confined spaces. Application: Refineries, chemical plants, and offshore facilities where routing complexity is common. Feature: Forged brass construction provides corrosion resistance and robust mechanical strength. Business Impact: Longer service life in harsh environments, lower replacement frequency, and improved total cost of ownership. Application: Marine, offshore, and chemically aggressive environments where equipment endures moisture and salts. Feature: Male one end and female on the opposite end simplifies field assembly and reconfiguration. Business Impact: Easier maintenance, quicker rework, and reduced chance of misassembly. Application: Installing or retrofitting conduit systems in hazardous locations. Feature: 1/2 inch trade size with a 51.75 inch overall length and 5.6 lb weight provides compatibility with standard fittings while offering a substantial reach. Business Impact: Standardized parts eliminate custom fabrication and expedite stocking. Application: OEM assemblies and field installations in industrial plants. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous location ratings (Class I, Division 1; with relevance to Class II/III) ensure regulatory readiness. Business Impact: Compliance assurance, reduced inspection risk, and smoother safety audits. Application: Any installation governed by NEC/CEC in hazardous areas.
