Eaton Specification Sheet - EPJ505A502
Explosion-proof construction and robust sealing deliver compliant protection in hazardous locations, translating to reduced downtime and safer operation in chemical plants and oil & gas facilities. The IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings ensure ingress protection against dust, water, and corrosive elements, cutting maintenance costs and extending service intervals. Copper-free aluminum offers a strong weight-to-protection ratio, improving handling during field installs and lowering transport costs without compromising durability in outdoor or harsh chemical environments. The 1/2 inch trade size with two entries and 180° conduit openings enables flexible routing from opposite sides, accelerating wiring and enabling faster panel integration across retrofit projects. Surface mounting simplifies installation in tight or irregular spaces, while compatibility with the Pauluhn EPJ505 family ensures scalable protection and standardized spares for maintenance teams. Industry-standard NEC/CEC compliance supports cross-border projects with reduced design risk.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the installation area complies with NEC/CEC hazardous-location requirements. Mount the EPJ505A502 on a suitable surface using standard mounting hardware, then route two 1/2 inch conduits through the two 180° apart entries. Ensure gaskets and seals are correctly seated to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X protection. After wiring, close the enclosure securely and verify ingress protection during commissioning.
EPJ505A502 carries NEC/CEC compliance for hazardous locations, classifying areas as Class I, Division 1 and 2, and Class II, Division 1 and 2. It is rated NEMA 4X and IP66, providing rugged protection against dust and water. These certifications support safe operation in hazardous process environments and ensure regulatory alignment for global projects.
Yes. The EPJ505A502 is manufactured from copper-free aluminum and features a 1/2 inch trade size with two entries, designed for standard 1/2 inch fittings. The copper-free construction aids corrosion resistance while keeping weight manageable for field installations. This compatibility helps streamline procurement and reduces the need for special tools or parts.
The surface-mount design simplifies attachment to walls or panels, reducing mounting hardware and saving installation time. With 5.69 in length and height and 3.5 in width, it fits compact spaces while providing robust protection. Two entries and 180° conduit openings offer flexible wiring layouts, accelerating retrofit projects and minimizing field modifications.
Expect lower maintenance costs due to extended enclosure life from IP66/NEMA 4X protection and corrosion resistance of copper-free aluminum. The rugged construction reduces downtime after exposure to dust, water, or chemicals, while the flexible conduit configuration speeds up installation. Over a project lifecycle, this translates to faster commissioning, fewer part replacements, and improved safety compliance.
