Eaton Crouse-Hinds PLG2 conduit plug - Hazardous Location
Part Number: PLG2
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds PLG2 conduit plug provides a rugged seal for rigid/IMC conduit in hazardous locations. Under harsh industrial conditions, improper sealing can lead to moisture ingress, dust intrusion, and safety concerns across electrical enclosures. This plug is designed for area classification and NEC/CEC compliance, supporting Class I, II, and III hazardous locations. By delivering a compact, steel-reinforced seal, PLG2 helps installers meet code requirements while minimizing field rework. For engineers and procurement teams, the 3/4-inch trade size and recessed design translate to easier integration with existing conduit runs and faster panel installations, reducing downtime and lifetime project costs. This aligns with maintenance strategies for hazardous-area equipment and supports long-term total cost of ownership.

Eaton Specification Sheet - PLG2
Feature: Recessed, 3/4-inch trade size conduit plug in steel construction. Business impact: Delivers a secure, tamper-resistant seal that withstands vibration and impact in harsh environments. Application: Ideal for end-user panels and junction boxes where a flush profile minimizes snag hazards during conduit routing. Feature: Area classification rating for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC standards. Business impact: Reduces regulatory risk and simplifies safety program compliance. Application: Suitable for Class I/Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III locations across petroleum, chemical, mining, and manufacturing facilities. Feature: Compact footprint with dimensions 1.03 in length and width, 0.64 in height; weight 0.1 lb. Business impact: Easier field handling, reduced enclosure depth requirements, and faster installation in crowded spaces. Application: Works well in tight installations where space is limited and installer fatigue is a concern. Feature: Compatibility with rigid/IMC conduit; material steel; recessed type; 3/4" trade size. Business impact: Streamlines retrofits and new builds by aligning with standard conduit systems and offering a clean, protected finish. Application: Use in steel conduit runs inside electrical rooms and hazardous locations. Feature: Documentation and data availability; catalog and specification sheet. Business impact: Improves quoting accuracy and speeds procurement through ready-to-use documentation. Application: Engineers and buyers reference Eaton PLG2 catalogs and datasheets during design reviews and field installs. Feature: Protection against snag hazards with recessed profile and steel chassis. Business impact: Minimizes snag risk and improves durability in demanding environments. Application: Use in control panels and enclosures where space is tight and reliability matters. Insight and industry context: In hazardous locations, using certified conduit plugs like PLG2 supports safer maintenance programs and reduces rework. The combination of compact dimensions and robust steel construction makes it suitable for automation projects with space constraints, such as control panels in refineries, chemical plants, and water treatment facilities.

FAQs
Begin by ensuring the conduit opening and plug face are clean and free of debris. Insert the PLG2 so the recessed face sits flush with the enclosure opening, then secure the plug per standard mounting practices. Confirm the plug remains firmly seated and that the seal surfaces contact the conduit without gaps to maintain the hazardous-location rating.
Yes. PLG2 carries NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations, including Class I Division 1 and Division 2, as well as Class II and Class III locations. This makes it suitable for many refinery, chemical plant, and mining applications where strict area classifications apply.
PLG2 is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations and carries NEC/CEC standards, aligning with area classifications for Class I, II, and III environments. Using this plug helps ensure enclosures remain protected from dust, moisture, and arcing hazards, supporting regulatory compliance during design reviews and field installations.
PLG2 has a length and width of 1.03 inches, a height of 0.64 inches, and weighs 0.1 pounds. This compact footprint minimizes intrusion into enclosure interiors, eases routing in crowded panels, and reduces backspace requirements, which simplifies retrofits and new installations in space-constrained electrical rooms.
