Eaton Crouse-Hinds EYD6 conduit sealing fitting - Explosionproof
Part Number: EYD6
Quick Summary
EYD6 conduit sealing fitting with drain protects hazardous-location conduits in industrial settings by providing a reliable, drain-enabled seal at the conduit seal point. This design addresses a common pain point: moisture ingress that leads to corrosion, downtime, and costly maintenance in harsh environments. It supports NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location approvals, including Class I Division 1 and Division 2, Class II Division 1 and Division 2, and Class III, with area classifications for Hazardous/Classified Locations. With a 2 in trade size, vertical sealing position, and the option of Feraloy iron alloy or ductile iron, installation is straightforward and robust for long service life. In short, it reduces field rework, improves safety, and supports faster commissioning on critical lines.

FAQs
When installing the EYD6, orient the fitting with the sealing position vertical as specified, connect to standard 2 in trade size conduit, and ensure compatibility with either feraloy iron alloy or ductile iron bodies. Use appropriate seals and gaskets, and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for Hazardous/Classified Locations to maintain compliance and optimize performance.
EYD6 carries NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings including Class I Division 1 and Division 2, Class II Division 1 and Division 2, and Class III, plus area classifications for Hazardous/Classified Locations. These certifications matter because they verify suitability for installation in explosive or potentially hazardous environments, reducing risk and speeding up regulatory approvals.
Yes, the EYD6 is specified for vertical sealing only. If your layout requires horizontal sealing, consider alternative models designed for horizontal installation. When sticking to the vertical requirement, ensure the drain orientation aligns with the conduit run to maintain effective moisture management and seal integrity.
The EYD6 uses Feraloy iron alloy and/or ductile iron, offering high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for harsh environments. Material choice can influence impact resistance, wear performance, and long-term durability in chemical plants, offshore facilities, and other demanding settings.
The drain feature reduces moisture buildup and corrosion-related failures, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Combined with NEC/CEC compliance and robust materials, the EYD6 accelerates installation, minimizes rework, and delivers longer service life, translating to lower total cost of ownership in hazardous-location installations.
