Eaton EHT7 Service Entrance Cap - Threaded Aluminum NEC/CEC
Part Number: EHT7
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds EHT7 service entrance cap provides a robust aluminum cap for service entrance terminations in industrial conduit systems. Installations often suffer from corrosion-prone, ill-fitting caps that delay assembly and risk moisture ingress. This unit adheres to NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is certified for Canada, aligning with your regulatory and cross-border needs. Designed for 2-1/2 inch trade size threaded connections, its aluminum die-cast body delivers rugged durability, minimizes maintenance, and speeds service-entrance terminations in demanding facilities. The cap's threaded design reduces misfit issues during retrofit projects and pairs well with Eaton's Crouse-Hinds service-entrance hardware, streamlining inventory. For procurement teams, the documented UPC and catalog data simplify part verification and sourcing across global facilities.

FAQs
The EHT7 uses a threaded connection and a 2-1/2 inch trade size to match standard Eaton Crouse-Hinds service heads and caps. Its aluminum die-cast body provides compatible sealing with typical conduit fittings, ensuring quick, secure terminations. Field teams appreciate predictable thread engagement and minimal misfit issues, which reduces rework and speeds commissioning in panels and outdoor installations.
The EHT7 complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and carries Canadian certification implications as reflected in provided documents. This alignment supports regional safety requirements, simplifies cross-border procurement, and reduces project risk during regulatory reviews. For manufacturers with multi-site footprints, this certification scope helps maintain consistent electrical safety practices across facilities.
Yes. The threaded 2-1/2 inch design and aluminum die-cast body are well-suited for retrofit work where existing service entrances require upgrade to a durable, compliant cap. Its compatibility with standard Crouse-Hinds components minimizes inventory changes. The result is faster modernization with lower field labor and reduced downtime during system updates in production floors and distribution centers.
Ensure the trade size and thread specification match the existing service entrance hardware. Prepare clean mating surfaces to avoid cross-threading, confirm the capacitive seal integrity, and use appropriate tools to avoid over-tightening. The EHT7’s threaded interface is designed for reliable engagement in non-hazardous environments, helping installers achieve a secure, code-compliant termination on the first pass.
The EHT7 delivers long-term value through durable aluminum construction and corrosion resistance, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance calls. Its NEC/CEC compliance minimizes rework and project delays, while clear part identifiers (Catalog EHT7 and UPC 662277002172) simplify procurement, BOM accuracy, and ERP integration—leading to faster project completion and lower total cost of ownership across facilities.
