Eaton Crouse-Hinds EYD96 SA Conduit Sealing Fitting-Class I
Part Number: EYD96 SA
Quick Summary
EYD96 SA conduit sealing fitting with drain provides reliable sealing for hazardous-area conduit installations. In hazardous environments, moisture ingress, corrosion, and downtime threaten safety and maintenance costs. This fitting carries NEC/CEC compliance with Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; Class III ratings, enabling safe, compliant deployments in demanding facilities. Its vertical-sealing design, copper-free aluminum construction, and 3-1/2" trade size address real-world installation constraints, while offering predictable performance and long service life. For procurement teams, the combination of robust ratings and a lighter weight alternative to steel reduces total cost of ownership and simplifies regulatory audits.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EYD96 SA
Material choice and corrosion resistance deliver meaningful business value: copper-free aluminum reduces weight and simplifies handling during installation and maintenance, while improving corrosion resistance in chemical and outdoor environments. This translates to faster installs and lower fatigue risk for technicians on site. The drain-equipped design directly mitigates moisture-related failures by directing fluids away from seals, reducing downtime and field service costs in humid or wet locations. The 3-1/2" trade size with both male and female configurations simplifies preassembly and field retrofit, minimizing the need for adapters and inventory diversity. Vertical-only sealing aligns with drainage best practices in explosion-protected systems, improving reliability in vertical conduit runs and eliminating wrong-orientation mistakes during maintenance. NEC/CEC compliance and the explicit hazardous location ratings (Class I, II, III) offer regulatory assurance, reducing inspection time and accelerating project approvals. Installation resources, including IF 287 and the Eaton specification sheet, support a smooth rollout and standardization across facilities. In practice, these features collectively drive uptime, safety, and overall life-cycle cost reductions for industrial automation projects.

FAQs
EYD96 SA supports male and female connections with a 3-1/2" trade size, designed for copper-free aluminum conduit sealing in hazardous locations. It aligns with NEC/CEC requirements and is suitable for Class I/II/III environments. Its compatibility with standard conduit systems reduces the need for adapters, streamlining procurement and field installation.
The drain feature facilitates moisture removal from the sealing interface, reducing the potential for water ingress and corrosion. This leads to longer seal life, fewer field reseals, and improved reliability in humid, wet, or washdown environments common in chemical plants and offshore facilities.
Yes, the EYD96 SA is specified for vertical sealing. This orientation ensures the built-in drain functions correctly, directs any condensate away from seals, and minimizes leakage risk. For project planning, vertical installation simplifies alignment and reduces the need for rework when mounting conduit runs in constrained spaces.
The EYD96 SA is listed under NEC/CEC standards with hazardous location ratings Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III. It is intended for Hazardous/Classified Locations, supporting compliance, inspections, and installation approvals in regulated facilities.
By consolidating sealing, drainage, and compatible mounting in a single copper-free aluminum fitting, the EYD96 SA reduces spare-part inventories, lowers maintenance calls due to moisture-related failures, and speeds commissioning thanks to standardized components. The certification suite also minimizes risk during audits, contributing to faster project acceptance and lower lifecycle costs.
