• Aircraft Hangars - Fuel vapor protection in maintenance and storage areas
• Marine Fuel Handling - Shipboard and dock electrical system protection

Conduit Sealing System Benefits

Conduit sealing fittings are essential safety components in hazardous location electrical systems, preventing the migration of flammable gases through conduit runs and containing potential explosions within electrical enclosures. Unlike standard conduit fittings, sealing fittings create a gas-tight barrier using specialized sealing compounds, ensuring that electrical faults cannot ignite hazardous atmospheres in adjacent areas. This critical safety function makes sealing fittings mandatory per NEC Article 501 in many Class I hazardous locations.
