Eaton EYSX9 Sealing Fitting - Hazardous Locations

Expanded fill sealing design delivers a robust barrier against moisture and dust in explosionproof conduit seals. This feature reduces ignition risk in hazardous locations and helps maintain process integrity by minimizing seal failures in harsh environments. The EYSX9 uses a female connection in a 3-1/2 inch trade size, simplifying field assembly and enabling consistent, code-compliant installation. It supports vertical or horizontal orientation, saving panel space and simplifying routing in tight enclosures. Material choice matters when equipment sits outdoors or near chemicals. The Feraloy iron alloy body provides rugged, corrosion-resistant performance and sustained hardness under temperature and impact stress. This translates to longer service life and lower replacement cycles, delivering lower total cost of ownership for facilities with harsh duty cycles. The 6.5 inch length and 11.06 inch height accommodate larger conduit unions, while the 35.9 pound weight signals a substantial, high-integrity seal. Certification and compliance differentiators drive audit readiness. The fitting is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and supports hazardous-location classifications including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. This ensures installations meet national and regional requirements without sacrificing performance. Canadian certification references are available via UL listings to support cross-border projects. Installation and compatibility advantages streamline projects. The EYSX9 aligns with Crouse-Hinds sealing fittings catalog pages and the IF 288 instruction sheet for expanded sealing fittings, helping technicians verify correct assembly. Its vertical/horizontal sealing position and compact footprint support versatile mounting in control panels, enclosures, and switchgear rooms, reducing field adjustments and installation time. The 3-1/2 inch trade size remains compatible with common conduit systems in industrial plants. Weight and handling considerations. A 35.9 lb weight signals a heavy-duty, high-integrity seal that installers can manage with standard site equipment, reducing risk during lifting and positioning.
