Eaton Crouse-Hinds XJGD74 expansion/deflection coupling - NEC/CEC
Part Number: XJGD74
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds XJGD74 expansion/deflection coupling provides flexible conduit connections for 2-1/2" trade size systems. Installers often grapple with misalignment, vibration, and thermal movement that stress rigid joints. It complies with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, with Canadian certification available to ease cross-border projects. As a robust conduit expansion solution, it reduces field modifications, shortens commissioning time, and extends the life of industrial conduit runs, delivering reliability in demanding environments. Pairing with Eaton installation guides ensures proper torque, alignment, and seal integrity.

Steel construction with a 2-1/2" trade size compatibility delivers durable, high-load performance that reduces replacement cycles and maintenance costs in demanding facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The rugged steel body resists impact, while the expansion/deflection capability absorbs axial movement from vibration and thermal cycling, resulting in longer joint life and fewer on-site adjustments during commissioning in heavy-duty manufacturing lines. This translates to measurable efficiency gains and lower total cost of ownership for OEMs and plant engineers working with conduit fittings in industrial environments. Compatibility with standard conduit supports simplifies installation workflows, minimizes field fabrication, and enables faster project handoffs on installation-ready hardware.

FAQs
XJGD74 is designed for 2-1/2" trade size conduit runs and pairs with standard Crouse-Hinds/ Eaton fittings. It supports expansion and deflection to accommodate movement due to vibration, temperature changes, and misalignment, making it suitable for long, exposed conduit runs in plants, warehouses, and facilities with high mechanical stress.
The coupling provides expansion/deflection capability that absorbs axial movement without stressing joint interfaces. This reduces fatigue on the conduit system, minimizes field modifications, and helps maintain seal integrity during thermal cycling, which is critical for maintaining electrical continuity and protecting conductors.
Yes. XJGD74 is manufactured to NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, simplifying code compliance in commercial and industrial facilities. This helps procurement teams validate the part against regulatory requirements during specification and validation phases.
In addition to NEC/CEC compliance, XJGD74 supports Canadian certification through UL-based listings referenced in Eaton literature, enabling smoother approvals for multinational projects and facilities that operate under varied regulatory regimes.
Installation resources for XJGD74 include IF 1469 instruction sheets, the expansion/deflection spec guide, and catalog pages. These documents provide torque guidance, alignment tips, and mounting recommendations to ensure a reliable installation and optimal performance.
