Eaton Specification Sheet - EYD8 SA
Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and improves corrosion resistance, delivering longer service life and easier handling during installation, which translates to lower labor costs and fewer replacement cycles in harsh environments. The integrated drain feature actively reduces moisture accumulation at the seal, minimizing the risk of ingress-related faults and lowering maintenance and fault remediation costs in wash-down and outdoor installations. Vertical drain orientation ensures consistent drainage and seal integrity, simplifying alignment during installation and enhancing reliability in vertical conduit entries common in chemical plants and refineries. A 3 inch trade size provides immediate compatibility with standard conduit systems, accelerating procurement and reducing commissioning time for new builds or retrofits. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for Hazardous/Classified Locations gives engineers confidence in regulatory alignment and approval cycles, supporting faster design reviews and safer operation. Compact dimensions (4.25 in length, 4.25 in width, 8.5 in height) and a manageable weight (4.35 lb) enable straightforward mounting in tight spaces without compromising performance. The female connection and copper-free aluminum body also facilitate integration with common mating fittings, reducing inventory variety and simplifying maintenance in large facilities.

FAQs
The EYD8 SA is designed for Class I, II, and III environments with NEC/CEC compliance and UL listings. Installers should confirm vertical orientation is maintained, ensure the 3 in trade size matches the conduit system, and verify the drain path remains unobstructed to preserve drainage performance and seal integrity.
The EYD8 SA carries NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for Hazardous/Classified Locations, including Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III. These approvals indicate suitability for hazardous environments and support regulatory acceptance in electrical drawings and safety assessments.
Yes, the EYD8 SA is specified for vertical-only sealing. It supports a 3 in trade size with dimensions of approximately 4.25 in length and width, and 8.5 in height, with a product weight around 4.35 lb, aiding space planning and installation in restricted enclosures.
The drain feature actively channels moisture away from the seal, reducing condensation buildup and corrosion risk inside hazardous-location enclosures. This leads to fewer seal failures, lower maintenance cycles, and improved long-term reliability in damp or wash-down environments.
The EYD8 SA is a female 3 in trade-size fitting designed to pair with standard 3 in conduits and mating components. Its copper-free aluminum body provides robust corrosion resistance while staying lighter for easier handling, which helps shorten installation time and reduces handling fatigue on larger projects.
