Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECLK36 Coupling - EC Explosionproof
Part Number: ECLK36
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECLK36 coupling is a six-inch flexible conduit connector designed for hazardous locations. In tight installations, rigid fittings slow progress and can compromise seals, leading to delays and risk of leaks. This EC Explosionproof coupling carries NEC/CEC compliance and supports Class I, Division 1, Class II, Division 1, and Class III service, ensuring safe operation in hazardous and classified locations. Built with forged brass, it withstands corrosive environments and frequent vibration common in industrial plants. The ECLK36 is ideal for hazardous area conduit runs in chemical, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing settings, yet remains compatible with existing EC accessories. Choosing this coupling improves installation speed, maintenance intervals, and overall system reliability for your electrical infrastructure.

FAQs
Plan for NEC/CEC compliance and the Class I, Division 1 rating when routing conduits in hazardous locations. Use the ECLK36 with matching EC accessories, ensuring a tight seal and proper torque on the forged brass body. Verify the 1 inch trade size and 6 inch flexible segment align with your layout and mounting hardware, and follow Eatonās installation guidelines for best results.
The ECLK36 is designed for NEC/CEC compliance and Hazardous/Classified Locations, with a Class I, Division 1 (and related Class II/III) rating. It uses EC explosionproof construction, forged brass, and integrated male/female ends to provide a certified seal and safe electrical continuity in hazardous environments, reducing risk and simplifying regulatory approvals.
Yes. The ECLK36 is designed to integrate with Eaton Crouse-Hinds EC explosionproof fittings, leveraging common thread patterns and sealing technologies. This compatibility streamlines cabinet and equipment junctions, lowers keep-out requirements, and reduces the need for adapters, inventories, and potentially costly field modifications.
Best suited for hazardous area conduit connections in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, offshore environments, and heavy manufacturing where space is constrained and vibration is common. Its six-inch flexible length, 1 inch trade size, and forged brass body provide robust, corrosion-resistant performance in demanding industrial automation installations.
Expect lower maintenance due to a durable forged brass body and reliable sealing that reduces leaks and corrosion-related downtime. The 6 in flexible length speeds installations, cutting labor costs and commissioning time. Over the equipment life, you may see fewer replacement fittings and fewer regulatory noncompliance events, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
