Conduit Sealing System Benefits
Conduit sealing fittings are essential safety components in hazardous location electrical systems, preventing the passage of gases, vapors, or flames through conduit systems. The EYS series provides superior sealing performance compared to standard drain fittings, with precision-engineered chambers that accommodate proper sealing compound installation. This creates an effective barrier that maintains the integrity of explosion-proof enclosures while allowing necessary electrical connections.
Why Choose Ductile Iron Construction?
Ductile iron offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance, making it ideal for demanding hazardous location applications. Unlike standard steel fittings, ductile iron maintains structural integrity under extreme temperature variations and mechanical stress. The Crouse-Hinds EYS series leverages over 100 years of electrical innovation, providing the reliability and safety performance that electrical professionals trust for their most critical installations.
