FAQs
The CD1 drain uses a 1/2 inch trade size and is designed to bolt or thread into common enclosure drain openings. To install, align the drain with the enclosure opening, secure with the appropriate hardware, and connect to the drain path using standard 1/2 inch fittings. Ensure a proper seal to prevent moisture ingress and verify clearance for maintenance access. This approach minimizes downtime and reduces the need for adapters or specialty components.
CD1 complies with NEC/CEC standards for electrical equipment in ordinary-location environments and carries Ordinary Location area classification. Additionally, UL Canada certification documents are available for regulatory review, helping confirm conformity for non-hazardous indoor locations. These certifications support compliance during inspections and reduce project risk when sourcing drainage components for enclosures.
Yes. The CD1 drain’s compact footprint—1.23 in long, 2.01 in high, 1.13 in wide, and weighing 0.2 lb—fits tight panels while delivering reliable drainage. Its 1/2" trade size aligns with standard enclosure fittings, enabling straightforward integration into existing panel designs without reconfiguring internal layouts. This makes it a strong choice for OEMs and retrofits in space-constrained environments.
A catalog page and a dedicated specification sheet are available from Eaton, along with Canadian certification documents. The CD1 product page provides the Eaton Specification Sheet and the Crouse-Hinds catalog page, which detail dimensions, material (steel), and the 1/2" trade size. This documentation streamlines ordering, testing, and field installation for project teams.
Choosing the CD1 drain delivers predictable regulatory compliance, a durable steel construction that minimizes replacement costs, and a compact form factor that reduces panel intrusion. The standard 1/2" drain size plus easy installation translates to lower commissioning times, fewer field modifications, and improved uptime for industrial panels and OEM assemblies.
