FAQs
Installation requires the EYD6 SA to be mounted in a 2" conduit run with the sealing face oriented vertically as specified (Vertical only). Follow IF 287 Conduit Sealing guidance and Eaton’s installation sheet to ensure proper torque on the seal, clearance from flammable materials, and correct tightening sequence. Use compatible gaskets and fittings to maintain entire system integrity in Class I/II/III environments.
The EYD6 SA carries NEC/CEC standards with hazardous location ratings including Class I Division 1 and Division 2, Class II Division 1 and Division 2, and Class III. It is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations and aligns with explosion-proof requirements, helping meet regulatory and safety expectations in oil, gas, and chemical facilities.
Yes. The EYD6 SA is a 2" female conduit sealing fitting designed for compatibility with common 2" conduit runs and mating components. Its copper-free aluminum construction and defined vertical sealing orientation simplify integration into existing conduit networks, reducing adaptation time and ensuring consistent performance across standard installations.
The drain feature prevents moisture accumulation inside the fitting, which can lead to corrosion, condensation, or electrical insulation degradation. Use the drain-enabled EYD6 SA in environments with washdowns, rain exposure, or high humidity, as well as outdoor or damp locations where water ingress is likely. This reduces maintenance and extends service life.
Refer to Eaton’s IF 287 conduit sealing instruction sheet and the Eaton Specification Sheet for EYD6 SA. These documents provide step-by-step installation guidance, torque recommendations, material notes (copper-free aluminum), dimensional data, and compliance references to support field installs and OEM integrations.
