Eaton EPJ505A Explosionproof Conduit Outlet Box - IP66
Part Number: EPJ505A
Quick Summary
The Eaton EPJ505A explosionproof conduit outlet box protects wiring in hazardous industrial environments. When space is tight and exposure to dust, moisture, or sparks is a concern, a rugged enclosure is essential. It carries NEC/CEC compliance, IP66 ingress protection, and a NEMA 4X rating with Class I and II hazardous-location approvals to support audits and safe operation. Copper-free aluminum, surface mounting, and a compact footprint enable rapid installation and easier maintenance, helping facilities reduce downtime and extend service life. This makes EPJ505A a strategic choice for electrical distribution in chemical, oil & gas, and manufacturing plants. It supports safe, compliant wiring in space-constrained control cabinets.

FAQs
EPJ505A is designed for surface mounting in Class I and II hazardous locations (Division 1 and 2) with IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X rating. Its copper-free aluminum construction minimizes weight while maintaining rugged integrity, making it suitable for exterior walls and control panels in chemical, oil & gas, and mining settings. When planning retrofit projects, verify enclosure fitment against available conduit fittings and mounting surfaces to ensure a seamless installation.
EPJ505A carries NEC/CEC compliance, IP66 ingress protection, and NEMA 4X rating, with Hazardous Location approvals for Class I and Class II environments. These certifications matter because they confirm the enclosure is designed to withstand explosive atmospheres, dust, and water ingress, supporting safe operation, regulatory audits, and long-term reliability in demanding plants such as refineries, chemical processing facilities, and heavy manufacturing.
Official EPJ505A documentation includes the Pauluhn EPJ505 catalog page, installation instruction sheets (LBL1514), and the Eaton specification sheet for EPJ505A. These resources provide mounting guidelines, dimensional data, hazardous-location ratings, and compliance notes to support correct selection, installation, and ongoing maintenance in your installation footprint.
EPJ505A measures 5.69 inches in length/depth and height, with a width of 3.5 inches, and weighs 3 pounds. This compact footprint supports installation in tight spaces and on flat surfaces typical of control panels and exterior wall mounting. The smaller size also simplifies handling during installation and reduces shipping and hardware costs for large-scale deployments.
EPJ505A delivers value by combining explosionproof protection with durable, corrosion-resistant copper-free aluminum, IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and hazardous-location approvals. This reduces downtime, simplifies compliance audits, lowers maintenance costs, and enables safer wiring in challenging environments. Its surface-mount design accelerates installation and supports scalable retrofits across chemical, oil & gas, and manufacturing facilities.
