Eaton Specification Sheet - PLG5 SA
Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and corrosion risk, delivering longer service life in harsh environments and easing handling during installation, which lowers labor costs. The recessed design minimizes protrusion at enclosures, improving enclosure integrity and reducing risk of mechanical damage in tight panel spaces. With a 1-1/2 in trade size and compatibility with rigid/IMC conduit, it standardizes parts across projects, streamlining procurement and minimizing on-site retries. NEC/CEC compliance supports Class I, II, and III hazardous locations, speeding approvals and reducing the need for additional fittings or certifications. Exact dimensions and weight—1.9 in length, 1.9 in height, 0.83 in width, and 0.2 lb—fit into compact enclosures while preserving space for cables and components. The UPC and catalog number simplify inventory and traceability, ensuring quick reorders when replacements are needed. Overall, the PLG5 SA enhances installation efficiency, lowers total cost of ownership, and aligns with broader Crouse-Hinds plug and reducer families for scalable protection.

FAQs
PLG5 SA is designed for 1-1/2 in trade size Rigid/IMC conduit and works with the Eaton Crouse-Hinds PLG family. The recessed style simplifies mounting inside electrical enclosures, reduces space intrusion, and supports quick field integration without custom adapters.
PLG5 SA carries NEC/CEC compliance with NEC hazardous ratings for Class I Div 1 and 2, Class II Div 1 and 2, and Class III locations. This coverage minimizes regulatory risk, accelerates approvals, and ensures safe operation in hazardous environments such as oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities.
Yes, the plug uses copper-free aluminum, offering corrosion resistance suitable for harsh environments. Its recessed design also helps protect the fitting from incidental damage, making it a reliable choice for hazardous-location enclosures exposed to humidity, dust, and potential splash zones.
The recessed form minimizes protrusion from the enclosure face, reducing snag hazards and improving gasket compatibility. This streamlines assembly, enables tighter panel fits, and enhances overall enclosure protection without adding extra steps or parts during installation.
Pre-certified NEC/CEC compliance lowers field-testing costs and accelerates project timelines. The lighter copper-free aluminum reduces handling and replacement costs, while compatibility with related PLG components supports scalable upgrades without reordering multiple product lines.
