Eaton Crouse-Hinds PLG6 SA Conduit Plug - NEC/CEC Rated
Part Number: PLG6 SA
Quick Summary
PLG6 SA conduit plug is a rugged sealing solution for 2" rigid/IMC conduit in hazardous locations. It provides a recessed entry that protects cabling from dust, moisture, and impact while keeping splices accessible for maintenance teams. The design addresses the common challenge of field-installed plugs failing in Class I, II, and III environments, reducing unscheduled downtime. This product carries NEC/CEC approval and is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations, supporting compliant installations in petrochemical plants, mines, and chemical processing facilities. By selecting copper-free aluminum, you gain corrosion resistance without adding weight, while the compact 2.38 in length and 0.88 in width optimize space in tight electrical panels. This plug pairs well with Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds conduit fittings for streamlined integration and serviceability.

FAQs
When installing the PLG6 SA in hazardous locations, ensure the conduit entry aligns with the 2" trade size and that the enclosure is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations per NEC/CEC. Use proper gaskets and compatible Eaton Crouse-Hinds fittings to maintain the recessed seal. Verify torque compatibility and perform a post-installation inspection to confirm no gaps or loosening. Routine maintenance should include periodic seal checks and replacement if corrosion is observed, minimizing downtime and preserving enclosure integrity.
The PLG6 SA is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations. NEC hazardous ratings include Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. These certifications ensure compliance for electrical installations in environments with flammable gases, vapors, and dust, supporting safe operation in petrochemical, mining, and chemical processing facilities.
Yes. The PLG6 SA is specified for rigid and IMC conduits, offering a recessed plug design that fits 2" trade-size openings. This compatibility simplifies procurement and installation across projects using either conduit type, reducing inventory complexity and enabling consistent sealing performance across different installations.
The PLG6 SA measures 2.38 inches in length and height, with a width of 0.88 inches and a weight of 0.32 pounds. These compact dimensions support installations in tight spaces and enable efficient panel layouts while maintaining robust sealing for hazardous environments.
Using the PLG6 SA provides predictable performance, reduced maintenance downtime, and improved enclosure integrity in challenging environments. Copper-free aluminum offers corrosion resistance without added weight, and NEC/CEC compliance reduces compliance risk. The product’s compatibility with existing Eaton Crouse-Hinds fittings simplifies field installation and service, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and faster project timelines.
