Eaton ECLK348 Explosionproof Coupling - NEC/CEC
Part Number: ECLK348
Quick Summary
Explosionproof Coupling ECLK348 from Eaton delivers a robust, flexible connection solution for hazardous locations. Engineers often struggle with aligning long runs, mating-end compatibility, and ensuring regulatory compliance in confined or dangerous environments. This coupling carries NEC/CEC compliance and area classifications for hazardous/classified locations, plus UL certification references for US and Canada, reinforcing safe, code-compliant installations. With a 54.13 in product length, a 48 in flexible segment, and a 1 in trade size, it supports reliable, scalable conduit routing while reducing spares and field adjustments. In practical terms, it translates to faster assembly, improved system integrity, and lower lifecycle costs for industrial automation projects in mining, chemical processing, and energy sectors.

Eaton Specification Sheet - ECLK348
The ECLK348 features a forged brass construction, delivering durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments, which translates to longer service life and reduced maintenance costs in hazardous-area installations. This design choice enables reliable sealing and mechanical performance under elevated temperatures and challenging conditions, supporting a lower total cost of ownership for critical plant interconnects. The 54.13 in overall length with a 48 inch flexible section provides substantial routing flexibility, minimizing the need for additional fittings and reducing assembly time on busy factory floors. The 1 inch trade size and dual-end gender (male one end, female the other) simplify in-field connections, accelerating startup timelines and allowing standard conduit components to be leveraged. Compatibility with EC explosionproof fittings enhances safety compliance and integration with existing conduit systems, while industry-standard NEC/CEC ratings and UL certification references help meet stringent regulatory requirements. The product’s weight of 8.39 lb strikes a balance between robustness and manageable handling for installers working in confined spaces, improving installation ergonomics and reducing fatigue during assembly. These attributes collectively support improved installation quality, reduced risk of non-compliance, and better project ROI in hazardous location projects.
