Quick Summary

EYS conduit sealing fitting enables explosion-proof conduit sealing for hazardous industrial locations. In real-world plants, ingress, moisture, and misalignment often drive maintenance cycles and compromise safety. This solution carries NEC/CEC compliance and UL certifications for Class I, II, and III hazardous locations, giving you documented protection across global sites. Copper-free aluminum minimizes weight without sacrificing strength, and the vertical or horizontal sealing option enables flexible installation in vertical runs or wall-mounted enclosures. By combining rugged construction with industry standards, it reduces downtime, accelerates installation, and lowers lifecycle costs for projects in chemical, metallurgy, and oil & gas sectors.

Feature: Copper-free aluminum construction delivers a strong, corrosion-resistant body while keeping weight manageable. Business Impact: Lighter fittings reduce handling risk and freight costs, speeding on-site assembly without sacrificing durability. Application: Ideal for vertical or horizontal conduit runs in harsh industrial environments where exposure to chemicals, moisture, salt spray, or abrasive dust is common; the 3-1/2 in trade size accommodates standard conduit systems. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and UL certifications cover Class I, II, and III hazardous locations, with dual US/Canada certification references. Business Impact: Provides validated protection, reduces procurement risk, and accelerates audits and inspections. Application: Suitable for chemical plants, refineries, mining operations, offshore platforms, and other installations that demand regulatory-approved protection across climates and jurisdictions. Feature: Male and female configurations in a single unit with a 3-1/2 in trade size expand conduit-system compatibility, minimizing the need for adapters in the field. Business Impact: Streamlines inventory planning, shortens install time, and lowers total cost of ownership through fewer spare parts. Application: Connects to standard conduit runs in tight cabinets, weatherproof enclosures, exterior walls, or ceiling-mounted conduits where space is at a premium. Feature: Vertical or horizontal sealing positions provide flexible mounting options to suit layout constraints. Business Impact: Enables quick layout changes, minimizes downtime during retrofits, and improves conduit routing efficiency. Application: Use in overhead conduits, wall-mounted enclosures, or equipment cabinets in hazardous environments where orientation matters for seal integrity and cable management. Feature: Copper-free aluminum reduces weight and avoids galvanic corrosion with other materials in mixed-metal environments. Business Impact: Extends service life, lowers maintenance costs, and improves reliability in corrosive atmospheres typical of chemical processing and offshore operations. Application: Applied across processing lines, refineries, marine facilities, and outdoor installations where aggressive environments demand durable seals. Feature: Comprehensive documentation and installation support, including IF 287 conduit sealing instruction sheets and Eaton specification sheets. Business Impact: Improves commissioning accuracy, traceability, and safety compliance on start-up, while providing technicians with clear steps for inspection and replacement intervals. Application: Field technicians reference installation sheets and datasheets during initial setup, routine maintenance, and audits.

FAQs

For installations in hazardous locations, follow the IF 287 Conduit Sealing instructions and related Eaton Crouse-Hinds datasheets. The EYS96 SA supports vertical and horizontal sealing with male and female connections in a 3-1/2 in trade size. Ensure NEC/CEC compliance and UL certifications are referenced in project documentation, and verify proper enclosure seals at openings during commissioning to maintain explosion-proof integrity.
Yes. The EYS96 SA conduit sealing fitting is designed for sealing in both vertical and horizontal orientations. This flexibility enables adaptable routing around mounting constraints and simplifies retrofits. When planning a layout, specify the orientation during installation planning and confirm that the chosen configuration maintains the required ingress protection and sealing performance for the hazardous location requirements.
EYS96 SA carries NEC/CEC compliance and UL certifications for Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III hazardous locations. These certifications provide regulatory validation for safe operation in North American and global sites, reducing compliance risk during design reviews and inspections and supporting procurement across regulated industries.
The EYS96 SA is constructed from copper-free aluminum, chosen for corrosion resistance and weight savings. It weighs approximately 5.8 pounds and fits a 3-1/2 inch trade size. The aluminum construction offers robust durability in harsh environments while easing handling during installation and maintenance activities, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
EYS96 SA features a 3-1/2 inch trade size and includes both male and female configurations within the same fitting. This dual-gender design simplifies mating with standard conduit runs, reduces the need for additional adapters, and supports flexible wiring layouts in space-constrained hazardous locations.
