Eaton Crouse-Hinds XJG38 Expansion Coupling - NEC/CEC
Part Number: XJG38
Quick Summary
XJG38 expansion coupling provides durable conduit movement relief for rigid/IMC installations in industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle with thermal expansion, vibration, and misalignment that create stress, leaks, and costly downtime. This model meets NEC/CEC standards and supports ordinary/non-hazardous locations, with Canadian certification documentation available. Designed for 1 inch trade size runs and rigid/IMC conduit, it delivers reliable expansion handling while simplifying installation and maintenance. It integrates with common conduit fittings and installation sheets to meet project schedules and regulatory expectations. Rugged steel construction and 11.38 inch length support long runs while minimizing field adjustments. This combination translates to higher uptime and lower lifecycle costs.

Eight inches of conduit movement is supported by the XJG38, enabling controlled expansion and deflection in rigid/IMC runs. The business impact is clear: reduced joint stress, fewer leaks, and longer service life for critical conduit networks. Typical applications include long factory runs, outdoor enclosures, and plant corridors where temperature swings and vibration are common. With a 1 inch trade size, it standardizes fittings and minimizes the need for adapters, cutting installation time and field labor costs. This compatibility also simplifies retrofits and new builds across OEM panels and service enclosures. The steel construction delivers rugged durability and corrosion resistance suitable for harsh industrial environments. This material choice supports extended lifetimes in washdown zones and on outdoor rigs, reducing maintenance cycles. For projects requiring fast, compliant installations, the piece integrates with common conduit fittings and standard installation practices. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification provide regulatory assurance across North American markets. The unit supports safe installation in non-hazardous locations while aligning with electrical codes and spec sheets. From a planning perspective, the XJG38’s dimensions—11.38 in long, 2.43 in wide and high, and 3.1 lb weight—help engineers model space and shipping costs. Its 8 in maximum movement and 1 in trade size dovetail with standard rigid/IMC conduit calculations, reducing change orders. Industry teams rely on Eaton’s XJG expansion couplings alongside Expansion and Deflection Couplings literature to verify compatibility with IF 343 and related guides.

FAQs
To install the XJG38 on rigid/IMC conduit, verify the 1 in trade size fits the run, clean and inspect mating ends, and position the coupling at the expansion point. Secure with appropriate fittings per the IF 343 instruction sheet, then tighten fasteners evenly to avoid binding. Check the 8 in movement tolerance and recheck alignment after commissioning.
The XJG38 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, ensuring code-compliant installation in non-hazardous areas. It also aligns with Canadian certification documentation. Its steel construction adds durability for industrial settings, reducing the risk of conduit movement related electrical faults.
Yes. The XJG38 accepts 1 in trade size rigid/IMC conduits and permits up to 8 in of axial movement to accommodate expansion and contraction typical in long runs and temperature swings. Its 11.38 in length and steel construction aid alignment and installation in constrained spaces.
Absolutely. By absorbing movement and preventing joint stress, the XJG38 minimizes fretting, leaks, and rework. Its rugged steel body resists corrosion, extending service life in harsh environments and lowering lifecycle costs across multi-site deployments. The predictability of performance also reduces unplanned downtime.
