Eaton Crouse-Hinds EYS616 Conduit Sealing Fitting - Group B Rated
Part Number: EYS616
Quick Summary
EYS616 conduit sealing fitting from Eaton Crouse-Hinds protects electrical conduit connections in hazardous locations. It provides reliable male and female sealing in vertical or horizontal orientations for 2 inch trade size runs. Installers often confront leakage, corrosion, and regulatory hurdles when sealing fittings in explosive atmospheres; the EYS616 is designed to address these challenges with rugged ferrous alloys. This unit carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and hazardous-location ratings, including Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III, along with area classification. Business value comes from a proven seal, durable materials, and a standard-form factor that reduces installation time. For quick reference, refer to the catalog page and IF 287 installation guidance.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EYS616
2 inch trade size, male and female configuration with vertical or horizontal sealing enables quick, reliable connections that fit standard conduit runs. This reduces field adaptations and minimizes unplanned rework, boosting install time and first-pass compliance for explosion-protected systems. Applications include control panels, motor starters, and junction boxes in hazardous areas where NEC/CEC and area-classified locations apply. Made from Feraloy iron alloy and ductile iron, the EYS616 resists impact and wear while maintaining a robust seal under hazardous conditions. The rugged material choice lowers maintenance costs and extends service life in hostile environments common to oil & gas, chemical, and metals processing facilities. Group B rated with NEC/CEC compliance and Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, Class III ratings provides built-in safety margins and regulatory alignment. This helps equipment owners meet compliance milestones on projects with strict hazardous-location requirements, reducing the risk of penalties and downtime. Compact dimensions and weight—3 in length, 3 in width, 6.25 in height, and about 6 lb—simplify installation in tight enclosures and crowded equipment rooms. The standardized form-factor also supports faster spares provisioning and easier field replacement, lowering total cost of ownership in industrial facilities. Installation support and compatibility are enhanced by available 3D CAD drawings, installation instructions (IF 287), and a dedicated catalog page. This enables engineers to validate fit before procurement, streamline wiring layouts, and reduce commissioning delays in complex hazardous-area installations.

FAQs
EYS616 uses a 2 inch trade size with both male and female ports and supports vertical or horizontal sealing, allowing direct integration with common conduit runs. Its standardized form factor minimizes field adaptations, reduces rework, and accelerates first-pass compliance on explosion-protected systems. It pairs with typical enclosure and panel layouts, aiding rapid installation.
EYS616 is designed for hazardous locations and carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous area ratings, including Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, plus area classifications. Canadian certifications and UL listings are referenced in related documentation, supporting regulatory alignment for global installations.
Follow the IF 287 Conduit Sealing instructions and use the vertical or horizontal sealing option as required by the installation. Ensure mating to standard conduit components, verify alignment with the enclosure, and confirm the 2 inch trade size is correct for the circuit. The 3D CAD drawings and catalog guidance help validate fit before field deployment.
Yes. EYS616 utilizes Feraloy iron alloy and ductile iron, delivering rugged mechanical seals and resistance to impact and wear in harsh environments typical of offshore platforms, chemical plants, and heavy industry. Group B rating and NEC/CEC compliance further support safe operation under demanding conditions and regulatory requirements.
EYS616 delivers improved safety through robust sealing, regulatory compliance to NEC/CEC, and reduced leakage risks. Its compatibility with standard conduits speeds installation, lowers maintenance costs, and shortens project timelines. The availability of CAD drawings and installation sheets also reduces engineering time and commissioning delays in complex hazardous-location deployments.
