Eaton Specification Sheet - ECLK38
Forged brass construction delivers robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments and lowering lifecycle maintenance costs in chemical plants and offshore facilities. This translates to fewer field repairs and less unscheduled downtime, improving overall plant reliability. The 1" trade size, with male and female ends, ensures quick, secure terminations to standard conduits, reducing installation time and minimizing risk of improper connections on busy shop floors. With 8" flexible length and a total length of 13", installers gain greater routing flexibility in tight spaces such as cable trays and hazardous-area enclosures, cutting project schedules and labor costs. Certified for hazardous locations with NEC/CEC compliance and Class I, Division 1 ratings, the ECLK38 supports fast, compliant deployments across oil, gas, chemical processing, and marine environments, while UL certification adds procurement confidence. The durable design also resists impact and wear in challenging offshore and on-site conditions, delivering predictable performance over time and simplifying maintenance planning for safety-critical systems.

FAQs
What installation steps are recommended for ECLK38 in Class I, Division 1 environments? The device uses a 1" trade size with male and female ends, forged brass construction, and specifies 13" overall length with an 8" flexible segment. When installing, ensure compatible conduit fittings are used, verify NEC/CEC compliance, and follow UL guidelines for hazardous locations; the goal is secure, compliant terminations that resist ignition sources and withstand harsh conditions.
The ECLK38 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards with NEC hazardous ratings for Class I, Division 1 (also covering other divisions as applicable) and UL certification for use in hazardous locations. Area classification is Hazardous/Classified Locations, ensuring that terminations remain safe under explosive atmospheres. This combination supports regulatory compliance across oil & gas, chemical processing, and marine applications.
Yes. ECLK38 is a 1" trade-size coupling with male one end and female the end, designed for standard conduit systems. It accommodates a total length of 13" with an 8" flexible segment, making routing easier in confined spaces. Its forged brass construction enhances compatibility with common conduit materials while meeting hazardous-location requirements.
Industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and marine/offshore operations benefit most due to the ECLK38’s explosionproof design and NEC/CEC compliance. The coupling supports reliable, compliant terminations in hazardous locations, reduces installation complexity in dense conduit networks, and aligns with UL-certified safety standards for critical automation and electrical systems.
The forged brass build provides durability and corrosion resistance, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance cycles in harsh environments. NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification mitigate compliance risk, supporting smoother audits. The combination of 1" trade size compatibility, easy installation, and a flexible routing length lowers labor costs and downtime, delivering tangible ROI for ongoing hazardous-area projects.
