Crouse-Hinds XJG44 HDG Expansion Joint, 1-1/4-Inch, Internal Grounding

The Crouse-Hinds XJG44 is a 1-1/4-Inch expansion joint engineered from electrogalvanized steel and built into the XJG Series conduit product line. This fitting is designed to absorb linear conduit movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction while maintaining a continuous electrical path, thanks to its internal grounding feature. Contractors and electricians rely on expansion joints like the XJG44 to protect rigid conduit runs from stress fractures on long straight runs, bridges, and structures subject to temperature swings, all while ensuring the grounding path required for a safe, code-compliant installation remains intact across the joint. Finished with a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating, the XJG44 is built to hold up in demanding outdoor and industrial environments.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1-1/4-Inch, sized for direct installation into matching rigid conduit runs.
• Durable Construction: Electrogalvanized steel body resists corrosion and provides long service life in demanding electrical installations.
• Internal Grounding: Built-in internal grounding maintains continuous electrical bonding across the expansion joint, preserving the conduit system's ground path even as the joint moves.
• Expansion Function: Part of the XJG Series, designed to accommodate linear conduit expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, reducing mechanical stress on rigid conduit runs.
• Finish: Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish adds an additional layer of corrosion protection suited to demanding environments.
