Eaton Crouse-Hinds XJG98 HDG Expansion Coupling - NEC/CEC

Rigid/IMC compatibility is built into the XJG98 HDG design, reducing procurement complexity and inventory requirements while ensuring a secure, compliant fit. The business impact is simpler sourcing and faster field installation, which translates to shorter project timelines and fewer change orders in steel conduit systems found in manufacturing floors and outdoor installations. Application-wise, this makes it ideal for facilities that standardize on rigid/IMC fittings and require reliable performance in harsh environments. Eight-inch conduit movement capability directly addresses vibration and thermal expansion, preventing joint fatigue and costly rework on long conduit runs. This feature lowers maintenance frequency and extends service life for process lines, HVAC suites, and data centers where movement is expected. The 3-1/2 inch trade size ensures compatibility with common conduit diameters, enabling rapid integration with existing bundles and supports. In practice, installers gain confidence knowing the coupling aligns with standard fittings, reducing installation risk and material waste. Hot-dip galvanized steel provides robust corrosion resistance, lowering lifecycle costs in damp or outdoor areas and delivering durable performance with minimal maintenance. This durability supports outdoor process facilities and high-humidity environments where reliability is essential. The 14 inch length and 29.45 lb weight establish a stable, substantial assembly that resists misalignment during handling and mounting, simplifying field work and transport. Overall, the combination of finish, material, and dimensional stability delivers a dependable expansion solution for ordinary locations, improving installation quality and long-term cost efficiency.
