Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight while enhancing corrosion resistance, improving installation efficiency and long-term durability in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: lightweight, non-corrosive material lowers handling costs on site and extends service life in non-hazardous locations, ideal for new builds and retrofit projects in manufacturing plants. The 8 inch maximum conduit movement accommodates thermal expansion and vibration without compromising enclosure integrity, delivering predictable protection in dynamic environments and reducing retrofit downtime during seasonal changes. The 2 inch trade size standardizes fittings across common conduit runs, accelerating procurement and supporting fast, consistent installations across multiple lines in process plants. Rigid/IMC conduit compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing metal raceways, minimizing adaptation work and supporting scalable, modular wiring strategies. NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification options reinforce regulatory assurance, helping engineering teams meet commissioning timelines and avoid non-compliance penalties. Real-world installation insights show copper-free aluminum expands maintenance windows and reduces total cost of ownership by lowering weight, labor, and replacement frequency.

FAQs
The XJG68 SA expansion coupling is designed for rigid/IMC conduit and supports a 2 inch trade size. Its copper-free aluminum construction provides robust corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for industrial installations where rigid conduit runs are common and space is at a premium.
The XJG68 SA supports up to 8 inches of conduit movement, enabling effective expansion and deflection management in facilities subject to temperature changes, vibration, or structural shifts. This helps maintain seal integrity and reduces the risk of conduit misalignment over time.
Yes. The product specifications list NEC/CEC compliance, and UL certification pages are available for EMT and Rigid/IMC configurations. In addition, the area classification is Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with typical industrial environments and helping engineers meet regulatory expectations during design and commissioning.
Installation benefits stem from its copper-free aluminum construction, which reduces weight and simplifies handling. The 2" trade size standardizes fittings, while the rigid/IMC compatibility ensures straightforward integration with existing conduit runs. For best results, follow the included installation instructions and select UL-listed options for your specific conduit configuration.
Choosing the XJG68 SA delivers lower life-cycle costs through corrosion resistance, easier handling, and reduced maintenance downtime. Its compliance with NEC/CEC and non-hazardous location ratings minimizes compliance risk, while the 8" movement allowance reduces the need for custom solutions in temperature-varying facilities, enabling faster project completion and ROI.
