Eaton ECLK158 Coupling - Hazardous Locations Class I
Part Number: ECLK158
Quick Summary
Eaton ECLK158 coupling provides a flexible, explosion-proof connection for hazardous-area conduit systems. In practice, engineers struggle with rigid fittings that don’t adapt to long runs or tight spaces, increasing installation time and risk. It carries NEC/CEC compliance and is rated for Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations, with Class II and Class III recognition and UL Canadian certification for cross-border deployments. Its forged brass construction, 1/2-inch trade size, and 58-inch flexible length support reliable, scalable installations, reducing inventory complexity and maintenance costs in industrial plants and offshore facilities.

Eaton Specification Sheet - ECLK158
58-inch flexible length reduces the need for multiple elbows and fittings, accelerating field assembly and trimming inventory costs. The 1/2-inch trade size matches common conduit configurations, simplifying procurement and compatibility with standard boxes and fittings. This combination is ideal for long runs in manufacturing lines and offshore installations where space is constrained and downtime is costly. Forged brass construction delivers durable corrosion resistance in wet, oily, or salt-laden environments, extending service life and lowering replacement frequency. The male one end and female the other provide straightforward, secure connections, minimizing misthreading risks during installation. In hazardous locations, robust construction translates to safer, more reliable closures. Certification and compliance support regulatory confidence: NEC/CEC standards, Class I Division 1 rating, and UL Canadian certification help ensure code compliance and project acceptance, reducing engineering review time. The 61.75-inch product length and 1.5 x 1.5 inch profile ease mounting in panels and runs, while catalog pages and EC series references aid design and stocking. Overall, the ECLK158 mitigates installation concerns by offering ready-to-connect ends and a proven, long-service-life solution for industrial and marine applications.
