Eaton Crouse-Hinds EYD71 Conduit Sealing Fitting - Group B
Part Number: EYD71
Quick Summary
EYD71 conduit sealing fitting with drain provides reliable sealing for hazardous-location conduit connections in industrial facilities. This solution addresses moisture ingress, dust intrusion, and corrosion that threaten equipment reliability and uptime in tough environments. Built for Group B rated areas and NEC/CEC compliance, it supports Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III locations, delivering robust protection where failures can be costly. The vertical sealing design simplifies installation in constrained spaces, while the ductile iron and Feraloy iron alloy construction resists wear and impact. For engineers and procurement teams, this combination translates to safer installations, predictable maintenance intervals, and long-term cost savings without sacrificing safety or regulatory alignment across critical wiring infrastructures.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EYD71
Drainage-enabled sealing design reduces moisture ingress and corrosion, which lowers field maintenance and extends asset life in hazardous environments. This translates to fewer unscheduled downtimes and longer service intervals for motors, sensors, and control panels in refineries and chemical plants. Applications span NEC/CEC-compliant installations where reliable drainage paths are essential and vertical orientation is required for space-constrained runs. The metal combination of ductile iron and Feraloy iron alloy delivers high impact resistance and wear protection, reducing replacement costs in rugged industrial settings. The vertical sealing position simplifies alignment during installation, minimizes rework in tight conduits, and supports faster commissioning of new or expanded systems. With a 2-1/2 inch trade size and female configuration, EYD71 ensures compatibility with standard conduit assemblies, streamlining procurement and inventory. Certifications and ratings (Group B, Class I/II, NEC/CEC) provide regulatory confidence for safety reviews and inspections, enabling smoother project delivery and long-term maintenance planning.

FAQs
To install EYD71, confirm power is off and conduit sections are prepared for a vertical drain installation. Align the female connection, secure with appropriate hardware per installation instructions, and torque to spec. Ensure the location is within NEC/CEC guidelines for Group B rated equipment and hazardous locations, then test the seal for integrity post-installation.
EYD71 is a 2-1/2 inch trade-size conduit sealing fitting with a female configuration. It uses ductile iron and Feraloy iron alloy, designed for vertical sealing, and carries Group B rating. It supports installation in NEC/CEC-compliant systems and is suited for hazardous locations requiring robust, drain-enabled seals.
Yes. The EYD71 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is rated for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. Its area classification is Hazardous/Classified Locations, ensuring regulatory alignment for safe installation, inspection, and ongoing compliance.
The drain feature reduces moisture buildup inside conduit fittings, mitigating corrosion and extending component life. This leads to fewer maintenance cycles, lower replacement costs, and improved uptime in hazardous environments like refineries. Over the project lifetime, you gain lower total cost of ownership and more predictable maintenance planning.
EYD71 resolves common hazards of conduit sealing in tight vertical runs by providing a reliable drain path and a rugged vertical seal. Its 2-1/2 inch female design simplifies procurement and compatibility with standard systems, reducing field adjustments. These factors collectively shorten project timelines and lower installation labor costs while enhancing safety and regulatory compliance.
