FAQs
When installing the ECLK718, ensure correct orientation of the male and female ends, verify the 2-1/2" trade size compatibility with existing conduit, and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for hazardous locations. Use approved torque values and inspection steps to confirm a secure seal and uninterrupted conductivity. The stainless steel construction supports field longevity in Class I, II, and III environments.
Key specs include an 18-inch flexible length (with a 24-inch overall length), 2-1/2" trade size, stainless steel material, and a male/female end configuration. It carries NEC/CEC certification for Hazardous/Classified Locations, with Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, and Class III ratings. The UPC is 782274275314, and it weighs approximately 13.1 lb.
Yes. The ECLK718 features a male one end and female other end, designed for straightforward mating with compatible EC Explosionproof Couplings and standard conduit fittings in hazardous-area networks. Its 2-1/2" trade size aligns with common industrial systems, and its stainless steel construction supports reliable performance in mixed environments where corrosion resistance matters.
The ECLK718 carries NEC/CEC standards for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, and Class III ratings. This makes it suitable for plants and facilities requiring compliance across North American guidelines, and it is supported by Eaton’s certification and specification documentation for safe interconnection.
The stainless steel construction delivers superior corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles in harsh environments. Its robust, sealed design minimizes field resealing needs and downtime, improving uptime in hazardous-area installations. While it carries a higher upfront cost, the long-term reliability and lower maintenance frequency translate to a favorable total cost of ownership in process facilities.
