Vertical sealing fitting for 1-1/2 in conduit

The Appleton EYD-56 is a vertical sealing fitting designed for 1-1/2 inch trade size conduit systems. It carries hazardous-location ratings for Class I Division 1 and 2 Groups C and D, Class II Division 1 and 2 Groups E, F and G, and Class III. The fitting prevents passage of gases, vapors or flames between conduit sections in vertical orientation.

Drain feature and material change installation

A built-in drain allows condensation or moisture to exit the sealed joint, reducing corrosion risk in humid or outdoor hazardous areas. The iron body with silver finish mates with IMC and RMC conduit types through 1-1/2 in FNPT by 1-1/2 in MNPT threads. This combination of drain and thread configuration replaces the need for separate drainage fittings.

Thread engagement and orientation are the main

Installers must ensure full thread engagement on both the female and male NPT ends to maintain the hazardous-location seal. The fitting is strictly for vertical conduit runs; horizontal installation voids the rating and can trap liquid against the seal. Over-tightening iron threads can crack the fitting body, so a calibrated wrench is recommended.

Questions about this item

Will the sealing compound inside the EYD-56 fitting need periodic replacement?

The fitting is designed to prevent passage of gases, vapors or flames between conduit sections; the sealing compound installed at commissioning is intended to remain effective for the life of the installation.

What limits continuous operation of the EYD-56 in a hazardous location?

The iron body is rated for Class I Division 1 and 2 Groups C D and Class II Division 1 and 2 Groups E F G; exceeding those atmosphere classifications is the limiting factor.

Does the EYD-56 generate heat or noise when conduit runs vertically all day?

As a passive iron sealing fitting with no moving parts or electrical components, it produces no heat and no audible noise during continuous vertical operation.
