Eaton Specification Sheet - EHT5
Threaded, 1-1/2 in trade size capabilities are built into the EHT5, delivering a secure connection that reduces leakage paths and simplifies sealing. In practice, installers appreciate consistent threading and straightforward assembly, which translates to shorter commissioning times and fewer reworks on dense panels. Aluminum die-cast construction offers excellent corrosion resistance while staying lightweight. This reduces labor fatigue and allows safer handling in constrained spaces, with predictable performance in damp or outdoor environments. The cap weighs 0.63 lb, aiding one-person installation and transport, lowering field labor costs and enabling faster inventory turns on the job site. Compliance features NEC/CEC standardization and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location rating, plus UL certification docs, mitigate regulatory risk and support safety declarations. Compatibility with Eaton's Crouse-Hinds service entrance heads and caps ensures plug-and-play integration across the system, reducing spare-part variety and improving maintenance planning. The EHT5 provides a practical, high-reliability solution for modern electrical distribution projects.
