Eaton Crouse-Hinds XJG38 SA Expansion Coupling - 8\" Movement
Part Number: XJG38 SA
Quick Summary
XJG38 SA Expansion Coupling is a rugged conduit expansion fitting for rigid/IMC systems. Engineers frequently battle misalignment and thermal movement that stress conduits and slow installs. It is UL-certified for EMT and Rigid/IMC configurations and NEC/CEC compliant, with Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification. Designed for fast, code-compliant installations, it complements Eaton Crouse-Hinds conduit solutions and reduces field labor while delivering reliable, long-term connectivity for industrial wiring and automation applications. Beyond simple connectivity, this coupling supports long-term reliability in busy plant environments and helps keep maintenance cycles predictable. Customers benefit from faster procurement and fewer on-site adjustments thanks to documented specifications and readily available installation resources.

Expansion capacity up to 8 inches in rigid/IMC conduits translates into reduced misalignment and faster installation on long runs. This capability lowers field labor, minimizes conduit strain, and accelerates commissioning in manufacturing lines, warehouses, and process plants with thermal movement. Copper-free aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while keeping weight down, which reduces handling time and shipping costs and extends service life in outdoor or damp environments. UL certification for EMT and Rigid/IMC configurations, paired with NEC/CEC compliance, simplifies approvals, inspections, and cross-border procurement for regulated facilities. The 1 inch trade size ensures broad compatibility with standard conduits, reducing inventory complexity and procurement time in typical industrial installations. Precise dimensions — 11.38 inches in length and 2.43 inches in width and height, with a weight of 1.53 pounds — aid layout planning and BOM accuracy for control panels and conduit racks. Comprehensive documentation and installation resources, including IF 343 instructions and product catalogs, support faster field execution and fewer installation errors, improving project outcomes and overall reliability.

FAQs
XJG38 SA is designed for 1 inch trade-size rigid/IMC conduits, featuring a fixed mounting interface with an expansion range up to 8 inches. The copper-free aluminum body keeps weight manageable for field installs, and the overall length is 11.38 inches with a width and height of 2.43 inches. This configuration minimizes field bending and preserves alignment across runs.
The 8 inch movement capability allows the coupling to absorb axial travel from thermal expansion, misalignment, or vibration without stressing joints. This reduces the need for intermediate fittings and rework, shortens installation time, and lowers the risk of joint failure. It is especially beneficial for long, outdoor, or climate-variable conduit runs.
Yes. XJG38 SA is UL-certified for EMT and Rigid/IMC configurations and meets NEC/CEC standards for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. This support simplifies project approvals, audits, and cross-border documentation, helping ensure installations conform to applicable electrical codes while reducing compliance risk.
A full set of installation resources is available: IF 343 installation sheets, Crouse-Hinds XJG catalog pages, and specification sheets for the XJG38 SA. These documents provide mounting instructions, clearances, testing guidelines, and procurement references to speed field commissioning and reduce common installation errors.
ROI stems from faster procurement, fewer field joints, and reduced downtime due to easier alignment and fewer reworks. The copper-free aluminum reduces weight and handling costs, while UL/NEC compliance minimizes risk and audit effort, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the conduit system’s life cycle.
