Eaton Specification Sheet - PLG8 SA
Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance and lighter handling, improving ease of installation in tough environments and reducing maintenance costs. This translates to longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership for conduit fittings in hazardous locations. The recessed design enables a compact fit on 3" trade-size plugs, while the 3.5 in length/depth and 1.13 in width ensure compatibility with standard rigid/IMC conduits, minimizing the need for additional adapters and inventory. Area classification and NEC/CEC compliance provide clear regulatory alignment, reducing procurement risk and speeding up approvals on new installations. The combination of lightweight material and solid sealing delivers practical advantages during installation in confined spaces, while maintaining robust mechanical integrity under vibration and temperature swings common in industrial plants. Compatibility with Eaton Crouse-Hinds PLG series ensures a seamless, scalable solution for ongoing projects and retrofits. Real-world benefits include accelerated commissioning, reduced seal maintenance, and improved field reliability in hazardous environments.
