Technical Specifications

This 3/4" trade size conduit sealing fitting features female threading for secure connection to conduit systems. Constructed from premium ductile iron and Feraloy iron alloy, it measures 3.69" in height with 1.5" width and depth, weighing 1.06 pounds. The fitting is rated for Class I Division 1 hazardous locations with Group B classification, suitable for vertical or horizontal installation per NEC/CEC standards.

Installation Process

1. Verify hazardous area classification matches fitting rating (Class I Division 1, Group B)
2. Thread fitting onto male conduit end, ensuring full engagement of threads
3. Install conductors through fitting, maintaining proper spacing per NEC requirements
4. Pack sealing compound around conductors, filling fitting completely
5. Allow sealing compound to cure per manufacturer specifications
6. Verify seal integrity before energizing system

Applications

Perfect for:

• Petrochemical Facilities - Refineries, chemical processing plants, and storage terminals
• Oil and Gas Operations - Drilling platforms, pumping stations, and pipeline facilities
• Paint and Coating Operations - Spray booths, mixing rooms, and solvent storage areas
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - Solvent handling areas and chemical processing zones
• Grain Handling Facilities - Elevators, mills, and dust-prone environments
• Aircraft Hangars - Fuel handling areas and maintenance facilities
• Marine Applications - Fuel systems and hazardous cargo areas
• Industrial Manufacturing - Areas with flammable vapor concentrations

Conduit Sealing System Benefits

Conduit sealing fittings are essential safety components in hazardous location electrical systems, preventing the propagation of explosions through conduit runs while maintaining environmental protection. Unlike standard conduit fittings, sealing fittings create a barrier that contains potential ignition sources and prevents flammable gases from traveling between electrical enclosures, making them critical for life safety and facility protection.
