Expansion design absorbs conduit movement up to eight inches, reducing joint stress and maintenance costs. This is essential for long conduit runs in production lines where thermal growth and vibration are common, preventing premature failures. The steel construction with a hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in ordinary locations, lowering replacement cycles and downtime due to rust. The 3-inch trade size supports standard 3-inch conduit runs, and compatibility with rigid/IMC simplifies planning and stocking. NEC/CEC compliance and UL certifications for EMT and Rigid/IMC ensure code adherence across projects, while assembly-free installation resources shorten on-site time. Area classification of Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations makes it suitable for general industrial environments, and the availability of installation guides helps reduce mistakes and warranty claims. This aligns with industry best practices for conduit fittings in automation and power distribution.

FAQs
The XJG88 HDG expansion coupling is designed for rigid and IMC conduit systems with a 3-inch trade size. While UL certification listings reference EMT and Rigid/IMC, the product specification identifies rigid/IMC as the intended conduit types. Always verify local codes and project requirements to confirm compatibility for your specific installation.
The XJG88 HDG expansion coupling supports up to 8 inches of conduit movement. This capability helps absorb thermal expansion and vibration between sections, reducing joint stress, loosening, and potential downtime on long conduit runs.
This coupling is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, per its area classification. It is not specified for hazardous locations, so projects in hazardous environments should evaluate alternative fittings that meet applicable safety standards and local codes.
The XJG88 HDG expansion coupling carries NEC/CEC standards type certification and UL certifications for EMT and Rigid/IMC configurations, supporting code compliance in North American installations. These certifications help streamline inspections and reduce risk in project comparisons, especially where safety and reliability are critical.
Key resources include Eaton’s installation sheets and the XJG specification sheets. Look for IF 1508 Assembly-Free XJG guides and the Crouse-Hinds expansion-deflection literature, plus the XJG catalog page and UL certification documents to ensure proper installation and code compliance during commissioning.
