Eaton Crouse-Hinds EYD316 Conduit Sealing Fitting - Group B
Part Number: EYD316
Quick Summary
EYD316 conduit sealing fitting is designed to seal and drain conduit runs in hazardous locations. In real-world installs, contractors often struggle with water ingress, orientation errors, and slow seal-and-drain assembly in vertical runs. This unit provides NEC/CEC compliance, UL explosion-protection ratings, and Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification to support regulatory approvals. With a rugged Feraloy iron alloy and ductile iron body in a compact 1" form factor, it enables faster, safer installations while maintaining compatibility with standard conduit systems and providing reliable drainage where it matters most.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EYD316
Material construction uses Feraloy iron alloy and ductile iron, delivering superior impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal durability in harsh industrial environments. This rugged build reduces field repairs, lowers maintenance costs, and extends service life even under vibration, moisture exposure, or chemical contact common in manufacturing and process facilities. For purchasing teams, the material choice simplifies spares inventories because a single conduit sealing solution can cover multiple applications without compromising performance. Vertical-only sealing position is engineered to optimize drainage, orientation, and seal integrity in vertical conduits. By eliminating alternative orientations, it reduces the risk of improper seating and leakage, speeds field assembly, and improves consistency across installers. The result is faster commissioning, fewer warranty issues, and predictable performance in critical hazardous-location deployments. 1" trade size with male and female connectors enables direct mating with standard conduits and fittings, minimizing adapters and inventory. The compact 2.19 in length and 4.31 in height fit tight spaces while maintaining robust sealing against dust, water, and gas ingress. The design supports quick field retrofits and streamlined stock management for maintenance projects. Group B rated and NEC/CEC compliance provide regulatory alignment for explosion-proof conduit systems in hazardous environments. UL certification options for Canada and the US reinforce safety assurances, while the area classification designation Hazardous/Classified Locations ensures suitability for Class I, II, and III zones. These certifications help minimize project risk and accelerate approvals on new builds or plant expansions. Drain capability helps prevent water accumulation inside the conduit during rain exposure or washdowns, reducing corrosion risk and seal degradation. Combined with the drain, the device supports reliable long-term operation in outdoor, wet, or chemically challenging settings while maintaining a compact footprint and straightforward installation with standard mating parts.

FAQs
EYD316 is designed for 1" trade-size conduit with male and female connections and vertical sealing. To install, align the mating connectors, orient the seal vertically, and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque spec. The unit’s ductile iron/Feraloy alloy body resists impact and corrosion, enabling reliable performance across harsh plants. Compatible with standard Crouse-Hinds EYD/EZD fittings and common conduit glands, it streamlines stocking and field retrofit.
EYD316 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification. It is Group B rated for explosion protection and UL-certified for relevant jurisdictions, supporting safer operation in Class I/II/III environments. These certifications help meet regulatory requirements, simplify approvals, and reduce project risk in chemical, oil, and mining facilities.
Yes. The drain feature is specifically designed to prevent water accumulation inside the conduit, and the Feraloy/ductile iron construction provides resistance to moisture and corrosion. For outdoor or washdown-prone installations, EYD316 maintains seal integrity and helps minimize maintenance cycles while delivering a compact, robust solution for hazardous locations.
Expect NEC/CEC compliance, UL certification visibility, and Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification for the product. The Group B rating confirms suitability for explosion-protected conduit applications. These certifications streamline regulatory reviews and ensure consistent safety performance across facilities such as refineries, chemical plants, and other hazardous environments.
The EYD316’s rugged material and vertical-sealing design reduce field maintenance, seal leakage risk, and retrofit time, driving lower lifecycle costs. Its drain minimizes water ingress, lowering corrosion-related downtime. The 1" size with male/female interfaces simplifies inventory and installation, helping teams meet project timelines and maintain compliant, reliable conduit systems across multiple sites.
