Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECLK818 coupling - Hazardous Location
Part Number: ECLK818
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECLK818 coupling is a rugged, 18-inch flexible stainless steel conduit connector designed for hazardous locations. It addresses the daily challenge of maintaining reliable, explosion-proof joints in harsh environments with exposure to chemicals and moisture. Engineered to NEC/CEC standards and rated Class I, Division 1, it also carries Canadian certification references for cross-border projects. The combination of a male end and a female end provides straightforward field assembly, while a 3-inch trade size supports common conduit systems used in process and oil-and-gas facilities. By delivering durable performance and code compliance, the ECLK818 reduces maintenance cycles and supports safer, faster installations for critical infrastructure projects.

FAQs
The ECLK818 uses a male end on one side and a female end on the opposite; it supports a 3" trade size and an 18" flexible section for routing around equipment. Plan for the overall 24.25" length and ensure mounting allows easy access for the two-ended connection, especially in tight spaces common to chemical plants and oil/gas facilities.
It is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations with Class I, Division 1, along with additional Canadian certification references. These approvals facilitate cross-border projects and help meet local code requirements for hazardous-area installations.
Yes. Constructed in stainless steel, it provides corrosion resistance in aggressive atmospheres and is designed for hazardous locations. The 18" flexible length and 3" trade size support common offshore and chemical plant conduit layouts, with code-compliant connections that minimize maintenance.
The two-end male/female design reduces the need for adapters and simplifies field assembly, cutting installation steps and potential errors. The durable stainless steel construction lowers replacement costs and downtime in harsh environments, delivering measurable TCO benefits over the equipment lifecycle.
Check the catalog number ECLK818 and confirm 3" trade size with the conduit system in your drawings. Refer to Eaton's specification sheet for ECLK818 to validate dimensions, ratings, and wiring requirements, ensuring alignment with NEC/CEC codes and project specifications.
