Eaton Crouse-Hinds EYD56 Conduit Sealing Fitting with Drain - Hazardous Location Rated
Part Number: EYD56
Quick Summary
EYD56 conduit sealing fitting with drain is designed to provide explosionproof sealing for conduit in hazardous locations within electrical installations. In tough industrial environments, moisture ingress and dust can compromise seals; this unit drains while sealing to protect enclosures and reduce field maintenance. It carries UL certifications and NEC/CEC compliance, with Class I, Division 1 and 2 ratings plus Class II and III where applicable, ensuring reliable operation in hazardous environments. Vertical sealing orientation supports 1-1/2 inch trade size installations, delivering installation efficiency and lower total cost of ownership. The rugged construction using ductile iron or Feraloy iron alloy delivers long service life in demanding automation and power-distribution applications, helping facilities standardize on certified sealing solutions.

FAQs
To install EYD56, orient the sealing in the vertical direction as specified, connect the male and female ends, and secure with appropriate hardware for 1-1/2" trade size conduit. Verify compatibility with ductile iron or Feralo y iron alloy bodies and ensure the environment matches NEC/CEC hazardous location ratings. Confirm vertical sealing orientation and consult the IF 287 installation sheet for step-by-step guidance.
EYD56 carries UL certification and NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous location ratings including Class I Division 1 and Division 2, Class II Division 1 and Division 2, and Class III. These certifications ensure suitability for explosive atmospheres and support regulatory compliance during audits and cross-border deployments.
Yes, the EYD56 is designed for Class I Division 1 environments, among other hazardous-class ratings. The integrated drain helps manage moisture ingress, reducing corrosion risk and enclosure contamination, which translates into longer service life and lower maintenance in harsh process and manufacturing settings.
Compliance documentation is available via UL certifications pages and the Eaton Crouse-Hinds catalog page for EYD56, plus the IF 287 installation sheet. The catalog and datasheets provide specifications, dimensional data, and wiring/installation guidelines to streamline audits and field setup.
Implementing the EYD56 improves enclosure integrity and reduces downtime in hazardous locations, thanks to reliable sealing and drainage. The rugged ductile iron/ferroaloy alloy construction reduces replacement frequency, while NEC/CEC compliance minimizes regulatory risk. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs and faster project rollouts in automation and power distribution systems.
