Eaton Specification Sheet - EYD716
Drain-equipped, drain-enabled sealing helps prevent moisture buildup and ingress at conduit terminations, reducing corrosion risk and maintenance downtime. This translates to higher equipment uptime and safer enclosures in harsh industrial environments, especially during washdowns or indirect exposure to liquids. The durable ductile iron and Feraloy iron alloy construction offers superior impact resistance and long service life in mining, oil and gas, and chemical processing facilities, which lowers total cost of ownership. NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous location ratings give you confidence that installations meet regulatory requirements, reducing inspection risk and potential penalties while simplifying procurement for compliant projects. The male and female configuration with a 2-1/2" trade size streamlines field assembly, minimizes inventory complexity, and accelerates commissioning on new builds or retrofits. Vertical-only sealing position supports predictable drainage behavior, reducing the chance of liquid pooling in the seal during vertical runs. Availability of installation resources such as IF 287 and Eaton datasheets further reduces on-site questions and speeds up training for maintenance crews.

FAQs
The EYD716 is a 2-1/2" trade-size conduit sealing fitting with male and female ends, designed for standard conduit systems used in hazardous locations. It integrates with common rigid conduit setups and supports straightforward field assembly, reducing compatibility concerns during retrofit projects.
EYD716 is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations under NEC/CEC standards, including Class I Division 1 & 2, Class II Division 1 & 2, and Class III, with a Group B designation. This ensures compliance for explosive atmospheres and supports safe installation in demanding industrial environments.
Official resources include the Crouse-Hinds catalog page for EYD716, installation sheets like IF 287 for conduit sealing, and the Eaton specification sheet. These materials provide guidance on proper mounting, drainage orientation, and material compatibility to streamline field setup.
The integrated drain feature helps evacuate condensate and ingress moisture, reducing corrosion risk and seal degradation. This translates to longer seal life, fewer maintenance cycles, and improved reliability in wet or wash-down environments.
Yes. EYD716 uses ductile iron or Feraloy iron alloy, delivering high strength and abrasion resistance suitable for harsh industrial settings. Its vertical-sealing design along with Group B rating supports durable performance in demanding chemical, mining, and oil & gas applications.
