FAQs
PLG5 is designed for 1-1/2 inch trade-size rigid or IMC conduits and features a recessed gray-iron body that mounts flush against an enclosure. It provides a secure seal in hazardous locations and does not protrude, reducing snag risk during maintenance. Installation should align the conduit with the knockout, then follow standard tightening practices and verify clearance to surrounding hardware.
PLG5 carries NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-area ratings including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, with UL certification for explosion-proof use. This combination supports regulatory approvals, safer commissioning, and reduces project risk by meeting industry-standard safety requirements.
Yes. Its hazardous-location ratings, robust gray-iron construction, and 1-1/2 inch trade-size fit typical mining, chemical processing, and oil and gas installations. The recessed design helps maintain enclosure integrity while simplifying installations in demanding environments common to these industries.
Ensure the conduit size matches the 1-1/2 inch trade size and that rigid/IMC conduit is used. Verify NEC/CEC compliance for the location and install the recessed PLG5 to keep the enclosure flush. The part weighs about 0.45 lb and measures 1.9 in by 1.9 in by 0.83 in, aiding handling in tight spaces.
PLG5 delivers faster terminations, improved enclosure integrity, and clear regulatory compliance, reducing rework and downtime in hazardous locations. The rugged gray-iron body withstands harsh environments, lowering replacement costs and enhancing lifecycle reliability for industrial wiring and conduit systems.
