Appleton (ROSEMONT, IL) introduced its EXGJH and EXLK flexible couplings, designed to accommodate vibration, movement, and tight bends between sections of rigid metal conduit, helping to prevent damage to the conduit and connected equipment. The flexibility of these couplings simplifies installation and alignment where rigid connections would otherwise be challenging.
The EXGJH and EXLK couplings allow conduit sections to move independently while maintaining electrical continuity, making them an alternative to rigid conduit in situations where navigating around obstacles or corners is required.
Features & Benefits:
- Allows vibration and movement between rigid metal conduit sections
- Simplifies installation and alignment in difficult bends
- Provides equal electrical conductivity to rigid conduit — no bonding jumper required
- Includes accurately tapped threads for tight, secure joints
- Smooth, rounded bushings protect conductor insulation
- Heavy-duty design with inner core and insulating liner to resist mechanical abuse
- Waterproof and suitable for wet locations
- Available in lengths from 4" to 36" and sizes from 1/2" to 4"
- Offers versions with outer bronze braid (1/2"–2") or stainless steel braid (2-1/2"–4")
- EXGJH version includes two female end fittings with male nipples; EXLK includes one male nipple and one removable union
- Some models meet ATEX Certifications and Compliances
The couplings are certified for NEC/CEC Class I, Division 2 (CID2) hazardous locations, making them suitable for environments where volatile flammable liquids, dusts, or gases are present.
