Technical Specifications

This conduit plug features 1" trade size threading compatible with rigid and IMC conduit systems. The steel construction provides superior mechanical protection while meeting Class I, Division 1 hazardous location requirements. Product dimensions of 1.32" length by 1.32" depth by 0.75" width allow for compact installation in space-constrained applications. The recessed design ensures the plug sits flush or below the mounting surface for enhanced protection and professional appearance.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit system is properly grounded and de-energized before installation
2. Clean conduit threads thoroughly to ensure proper sealing and connection
3. Apply appropriate thread sealant or compound as required by local codes
4. Thread plug into conduit opening, ensuring full engagement of threads
5. Tighten to manufacturer specifications using appropriate tools
6. Verify recessed installation depth meets application requirements
7. Inspect installation for proper sealing and code compliance

Applications

Perfect for:

• Petrochemical Facilities - Refineries, chemical processing plants, and storage terminals
• Manufacturing Plants - Paint booths, solvent handling areas, and chemical processing zones
• Oil and Gas Operations - Drilling platforms, pump stations, and pipeline facilities
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - Clean rooms and controlled atmosphere production areas
• Food Processing - Facilities handling flammable solvents or alcohol-based products
• Aircraft Hangars - Fuel handling areas and maintenance facilities
• Marine Applications - Fuel systems and engine compartments on vessels
• Underground Installations - Conduit terminations in hazardous underground environments

Conduit Plug System Benefits

Conduit plugs provide permanent sealing solutions that eliminate the ongoing maintenance requirements of removable covers or temporary sealing methods. Unlike plastic alternatives, steel construction ensures long-term durability in harsh industrial environments while maintaining hazardous location ratings. The recessed design offers superior protection against physical damage and tampering compared to surface-mounted alternatives.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel conduit plugs deliver unmatched durability and safety in hazardous location applications. The material's inherent strength resists impact damage, thermal cycling, and chemical exposure while maintaining electrical continuity and grounding integrity. Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel plugs are engineered for decades of reliable service, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring continuous compliance with safety regulations in critical industrial environments.
