Deflection capability for rigid/IMC is embedded in the XD3 HDG, enabling controlled bend and alignment for 1-inch trade-size runs. This reduces field trimming and rework, delivering labor-time savings on congested plant floors. Application: ideal for machine rooms, panel enclosures, and corridors where runs must clear equipment yet stay within precise tolerances. Durable Feraloy iron alloy delivers high strength and impact resistance, while the hot-dip galvanized finish provides robust corrosion protection. This combination extends service life in harsh industrial environments and reduces replacement costs. By resisting wear and moisture intrusion, the XD3 HDG keeps conduit pathways reliable between maintenance cycles. Compact dimensions support easier handling and faster installation. With a length of 8.63 inches and a square footprint of 3.63 by 3.63 inches, the unit fits common enclosure layouts and minimizes enclosure modification. In practice, field installers appreciate reduced weight (5.55 lb) that aids one-person setup without compromising stiffness. Compliance and certifications are built in. NEC/CEC standards and UL listings for US and Canada streamline approvals and document traceability. The Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations rating expands applicability across general facilities, avoiding unnecessary specialty ratings while maintaining safety margins. Conduit compatibility covers rigid and IMC types, reinforcing project consistency when upgrading existing runs to new standards. The XD3 HDG also pairs well with Eaton Crouse-Hinds accessory catalogs and standard installation practices, enabling predictable procurement and fast replacement if a section needs realignment.

FAQs
XD3 HDG is designed for 1 inch trade-size rigid and IMC conduit. It uses a Feraloy iron alloy with a hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. The unit provides deflection to align conduit runs around obstacles, reducing field cutting and rework while maintaining NEC/CEC compliance. It suits machine rooms, panels, and corridors requiring precise alignment.
XD3 HDG conforms to NEC/CEC standards and is UL-listed for conduit fittings in the United States and Canada. It also carries an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations rating, ensuring suitability for general facilities and helping with regulatory approvals and documentation on project files.
XD3 HDG is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and features a hot-dip galvanized finish with Feraloy iron alloy for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. For extreme outdoor or highly corrosive environments, consider additional protective coatings or alternative materials, but for standard industrial spaces it provides durable performance.
The deflection capability allows precise alignment without extensive field modifications, saving installation time. It is compatible with rigid/IMC conduit at 1 inch, and its compact 8.63 inch length with a 3.63 inch footprint fits common enclosures, enabling faster commissioning and fewer delays during start-up.
Investing in XD3 HDG can lower total installation costs through reduced labor, fewer reworks, and quicker commissioning. Compliance with NEC/CEC and UL certifications lowers risk and approval cycles, while durable finishes reduce maintenance and replacement needs over the life of the conduit system.
