Eaton EYD96 Conduit Sealing Fitting - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: EYD96
Quick Summary
EYD96 conduit sealing fitting with drain is designed to provide explosionproof sealing for conduit runs in hazardous locations. Unsealed drains and improper sealing can allow moisture, corrosion, and dust to invade enclosures, leading to downtime and maintenance costs. This solution carries NEC/CEC standards with Class I, II, and III ratings across Division 1 and 2, supporting safe operation in demanding environments. In addition to vertical sealing, its drain capability and rugged construction enhance reliability while aligning with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' durable industrial wiring portfolio. For engineers and procurement, the EYD96 offers a proven combination of safety, compliance, and total-cost-of-ownership benefits in harsh locations.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EYD96
Explosionproof construction with drain reduces moisture ingress and corrosion, enhancing enclosure integrity and extending equipment life, which translates to lower maintenance frequency and reduced downtime in hazardous environments. The vertical sealing position directs any condensate away from critical connections, simplifying installation in wall-mounted or shaft configurations and supporting reliable performance in tight spaces. Made from high-strength Feraloy iron alloy and ductile iron, the EYD96 delivers robust impact resistance and long-term durability in demanding industrial settings, improving equipment readiness and lowering replacement costs. The 3-1/2" trade size and both male and female configurations provide flexible, plug-and-seal versatility, enabling fast, accurate field assembly with minimal part numbers, reducing procurement complexity. NEC/CEC compliance and UL certifications give operators confidence in regulatory alignment, accelerating project approvals and ensuring safe, repeatable installations across multiple facilities. The drain feature supports maintenance-friendly drainage strategies in installations where vertical orientation is a design constraint, aiding ongoing reliability and easier inspections for compliance.

The EYD96 is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards. It carries Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III ratings, supporting reliable operation across a wide range of hazardous environments. UL certification references are provided in the catalog pages and UL listings for use in these locations.
Yes. The EYD96 is part of Eaton Crouse-Hinds’ sealing fittings family and supports standard male/female configurations at 3-1/2" trade size. It aligns with related EYD/EZD lines and shares installation practices, making it suitable for retrofits or new builds where consistent sealing performance and drainage are required.
EYD96 uses Feraloy iron alloy and/or ductile iron for high strength and corrosion resistance, essential in harsh industrial environments. This material choice enhances durability against impact and erosion, improves seal longevity, and reduces maintenance cycles, which is critical for facilities handling aggressive chemicals, moisture, or dusty atmospheres in hazardous locations.
The EYD96 improves moisture management and seal integrity, reducing ingress-related downtime and corrosion. Its rugged construction and certified ratings minimize compliance risk and inspection cycles, leading to lower maintenance costs over time and faster project approvals. For procurement, the part’s compatibility with standard 3-1/2" fittings simplifies stocking and integration into existing conduit systems.
