The EKC50 uses a Feraloy iron alloy housing with a durable cover, delivering exceptional impact and corrosion resistance in hazardous locations. This rugged construction reduces maintenance costs and unplanned downtime, even in demanding environments. Field technicians benefit from a proven, explosion-protected design that supports reliable terminations in control panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures across oil, gas, and chemical facilities. The combination of material choice and protective finish contributes to longer service intervals and lower replacement risk. This combination also supports longer intervals between preventive maintenance cycles. With a 1-1/2 in trade size, the EKC50 aligns with standard conduit runs and simplifies wiring terminations. The generous internal volume accommodates splices and cables with less effort, speeding installation and minimizing miswiring risk. In OEM manufacturing and plant retrofits, this compatibility translates to faster commissioning, reduced on-site errors, and lower labor costs while maintaining hazardous-location integrity. The design also reduces requirement for specialized tools and training, aiding on-site technicians. Designers can plan layouts with confidence knowing fit is consistent across the Condulet family. NEC/CEC compliance combined with NEMA ratings 7 and 9 signals strong regulatory and safety performance. Area-classified locations are supported, ensuring the EKC50 meets the most demanding industrial codes. This reduces the need for over-specified enclosures and lowers total cost of ownership by avoiding unnecessary equipment changes during audits and inspections. The enclosure also supports dependable sealing under vibration and thermal cycling typical in remote installations. Training teams appreciate the standardized configuration for rapid audits. At 15.94 inches long, 5 inches high, and 4.31 inches wide, with a 22.3 lb weight, the EKC50 provides ample space for reliable terminations and secure mounting. The sturdy form factor resists service-induced movement and supports long service life in vibration-prone installations, minimizing resealing and gasket maintenance. Its cover design facilitates quick access for routine inspections without compromising safety. For future upgrades, the EKC50's compatibility helps minimize panel relocation costs and rework. Comprehensive documentation—spec sheets, catalog pages, and UL certification references—accompanies the EKC50, accelerating design validation and procurement. The integration with Eaton’s OE/EKC lineup streamlines compatibility checks, while field staff can rely on official guidance to confirm gasket selection, mounting holes, and wiring clearances for compliant installations. Access to digital assets and downloadable resources supports remote design reviews and reduces project cycle times. A manufacturer-backed warranty adds further value during lifecycle support.
