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

FAQs:
Do I need a bonding jumper with these couplings?
No, bonding jumpers are not required because the metallic braid provides a continuous electrical path.
What is the difference between ECGJH and ECLK?
ECGJH has two male threaded end fittings, while ECLK has one female union and one male threaded end fitting.
Can these be used in corrosive areas?
Yes, for severely corrosive locations, you can order the S758 option, which adds a flexible PVC protective coating
What is the maximum length available?
Special coupling lengths are available up to 144 inches
