Description

ECGJH and ECLK Series Flexible Couplings

The ECGJH and ECLK Series are heavy-duty flexible couplings designed for use in hazardous locations where a flexible member is required in a conduit system. These couplings are essential for accomplishing difficult bends, allowing for equipment movement or vibration, and navigating tight spaces where rigid conduit is difficult to install.

Engineered for maximum durability in the field, these couplings feature a rugged design capable of withstanding internal explosive pressure (Class 1) and mechanical abuse. Smaller sizes (1/2″ to 2″) utilize a flexible brass inner core with a bronze braid covering and an insulating wire duct liner to prevent grounds, while larger sizes (2-1/2″ to 4″) feature high-strength stainless steel construction.

Key Features:

✅ NEC: Class 1, Div 1, Groups A, B, C, D (Size dependent); Class 2, Div 1; Class 3
✅ ATEX/IECEx: Ex d IIC/IIB, IP66 (S516 models only)
✅ Rugged forged brass (1/2″ to 2″) or stainless steel (2-1/2″ to 4″) end fittings
✅ Liquidtight construction for use in wet locations
✅ Bronze braid covering with flexible brass inner core for 1/2″ to 2″ sizes
✅ Type 304 stainless steel braid for 2-1/2″ to 4″ sizes
✅ Internal wire duct liner (up to 2″) protects against grounds and short circuit burn-through
✅ No bonding jumpers required; metallic braid provides a continuous electrical path
✅ Available in lengths up to 144 inches

📦 Package Options:

🔹 ECGJH: Features two threaded male end fittings for standard male-to-male connections
🔹 ECLK: Features one female union and one male threaded end fitting for specialized termination
🔹 S516 Option: ATEX/IECEx certified version available for ECGJH models
🔹 S758 Option: Flexible PVC protective coating for severely corrosive environments
