Eaton Crouse-Hinds 1-1/2" Rigid/IMC Self-Retaining Gasket, PVC with Steel Ring

Professional-Grade Sealing Solution for Weather-Resistant Conduit Connections

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 1-1/2" Rigid/IMC Self-Retaining Gasket is a premium sealing solution engineered for professional electrical installations requiring weather-resistant conduit connections. This PVC gasket with steel reinforcement ring delivers superior moisture protection and long-term reliability for commercial and industrial rigid/IMC conduit systems.

Key Features & Benefits

Advanced Sealing Technology

  • Self-Retaining Design - Stays securely in place during installation, eliminating gasket displacement and ensuring consistent seal integrity
  • PVC Construction - Provides excellent chemical resistance and maintains flexibility across wide temperature ranges
  • Steel Reinforcement Ring - Prevents gasket deformation under compression while maintaining optimal sealing pressure
  • Precision Molded Profile - Engineered dimensions ensure perfect fit with 1-1/2" rigid and IMC conduit fittings

Installation Efficiency

  • Quick Installation - Self-retaining feature eliminates need for adhesives or temporary holding methods
  • Visual Confirmation - Easy to verify proper gasket placement before final connection
  • Reduced Callbacks - Reliable sealing performance prevents moisture infiltration issues
  • Universal Compatibility - Works with all standard 1-1/2" rigid and IMC conduit fittings

Long-Term Performance

  • Weather Resistance - Maintains sealing integrity through temperature cycling and UV exposure
  • Chemical Compatibility - PVC material resists degradation from common industrial chemicals and cleaning agents
  • Dimensional Stability - Steel ring prevents creep and compression set over time

Technical Specifications

This 1-1/2" trade size self-retaining gasket features PVC construction with integrated steel reinforcement ring for enhanced durability. The gasket measures 2.25" in diameter with 0.19" thickness, weighing just 0.04 pounds for easy handling. Designed specifically for rigid and IMC conduit applications, it meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. The precision-molded profile ensures consistent sealing performance across the full range of environmental conditions encountered in commercial and industrial installations.

Installation Process

  1. Verify conduit and fitting surfaces are clean and free from debris or damage
  2. Position the self-retaining gasket in the fitting groove with steel ring facing outward
  3. Confirm gasket seats fully in the groove without twisting or bunching
  4. Insert conduit into fitting, ensuring gasket remains properly positioned
  5. Tighten connection to manufacturer's specified torque requirements
  6. Verify no gasket material is visible at the connection interface

Applications

Perfect for:

  • Outdoor Electrical Systems - Weather-resistant sealing for exposed conduit connections in parking lots, building exteriors, and rooftop installations
  • Industrial Facilities - Chemical-resistant sealing in manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial environments
  • Commercial Buildings - Reliable moisture protection for office complexes, retail centers, and institutional facilities
  • Municipal Infrastructure - Long-term sealing performance for schools, government buildings, and public utilities
  • Agricultural Applications - Corrosion-resistant sealing in high-humidity environments like dairy facilities and processing plants
  • Equipment Connections - Secure sealing for motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
  • Underground Transitions - Moisture barrier for conduit systems transitioning from underground to above-ground installations
  • Wash-Down Areas - Chemical-resistant sealing in food processing, pharmaceutical, and clean room applications

Self-Retaining Gasket System Benefits

Self-retaining gaskets represent a significant advancement over traditional O-ring seals by eliminating installation errors and ensuring consistent performance. The integrated retention feature prevents gasket displacement during conduit insertion, while the steel reinforcement ring maintains optimal compression without permanent deformation. This combination delivers superior long-term sealing compared to standard rubber gaskets that can shift, tear, or lose elasticity over time.

Why Choose PVC with Steel Reinforcement?

The PVC and steel construction combines the best properties of both materials for optimal sealing performance. PVC provides excellent chemical resistance, temperature stability, and flexibility, while the steel ring adds structural integrity and prevents compression set. This hybrid design ensures the gasket maintains its sealing properties through decades of service, making it the preferred choice for electrical contractors who demand reliable, long-term performance in challenging environmental conditions.
