Perma-Cote PVC Coated Hazardous Location Fittings UL 1203 Listed

Perma-Cote UL1203 Hazardous Location Fittings

Improperly installed hazardous location fittings could result in costly expenditures and loss of life. Proper selection of UL listed and ETL verified products that offer both proven safety and proven performance is necessary to support on-going operations.

PVC coated hazardous location fittings including conduit unions, outlet boxes, EC series flexible couplings, and sealing fittings with our patent-pending P5SA™ safety feature carrying the UL 1203 listing are available immediately through Perma-Cote.

Sealing Fittings

Sealing Fittings are used in conduit runs to stop gasses, vapors, or flames from migrating from one part of the system to another. This limits the spread of any potential explosion, enhancing safety. Sealing fittings are available with several different options, such as breathers and drains to accommodate installation in various locations and positions.

P5SA™

The new patent-pending P5SA™ feature allows positional feedback for the upgraded urethane-coated plug for proper installation without compromising the best possible corrosion protection. To validate proper installation and plug engagement, the new design allows for visual validation by ensuring the plug will not protrude beyond the beveled edge of the PVC around the plug, validating that there are 5 full threads of engagement per the NEC code, which is critical for safe installation and a proper flame path. Sealing fittings are UL listed to use with either traditional Chico® A or Chico® Speed Seal™ Sealant Compounds and require proper tagging after installation to ensure correct classification ratings.

Conduit Unions

Conduit Unions allow for better transitions within hazardous locations and are used in order to connect conduit in areas where the conduit cannot be turned. The threads of the unions are designed to act as a grounding path for the system’s electrical continuity and provide a flame path that vents and dissipates any gasses contained within the properly installed system.

GUA Series Outlet Boxes

GUA series outlet boxes serve as pull and splice boxes and also provide future access to conductors for maintenance and future system changes. Outlet boxes are equipped with a gasketed seal which prevents liquid and vapors from entering the fittings. The threads on hazardous location outlet boxes also act as a system ground and flame path, venting and dissipating any gasses contained within the fitting.

EC Series Flexible Couplings

EC series flexible couplings aids in accomplishing difficult bends and allows for movement and vibrations of connected equipment. Additionally the rugged design is able to withstand explosive pressure and mechanical abuse. EC series flexible couplings are also liquid-tight for wet locations and come with the option of two threaded male end fittings or a female union and male threaded end fitting.
