Technical Bulletin

Applications
• Prevent passage of gases, vapors or ames from one portion of
conduit system to another. Restrict any explosion to the sealed
off enclosure. Prevent pressure piling within conduit system.
• Required in Class I, Division 1 and 2 locations within 18” of
enclosures containing apparatus that may cause arcs, sparks or
high temperatures.
• Required in Class I, Division 1 and 2 locations where 2” or larger
conduit enters enclosure, tting housing terminals, splices or
taps.
• Required in Class I, Division 1 and 2 locations at the boundary
where conduit leaves classied location.
• Required in Class I, Division 1 and 2 locations where two or
more enclosures are connected by 36” or less conduit. Seal
must be located within 18” of either enclosure.
• Required where cables (which exceed rate of gas or vapor
transmission permitted for seals) are used in Class I, Division 2
locations.
Features
• Explosionproof, dust-ignitionproof, raintight.
• Smooth, rounded integral bushing in each hub protects
conductor insulation.
• Accurately tapped, tapered threads for tight, rigid joints and
ground continuity.
• Removable nipple in male sealing tting may be used
interchangeably in top or bottom hub.
• EYS—for sealing vertical conduit. Large opening for damming
and lling.
• Expanded ll EYSEF/EYDEF— allow up to 40% conduit ll in
compliance with the National Electrical Code.
• EYSF/EYSM—for sealing vertical conduit. Large opening for
damming and lling.
• ESUF/ESUM— for sealing vertical or horizontal conduit. Pouring
spout rotates 90°. Removable cover provides full access for
damming 1/2” thru 1” sizes have threaded cover openings for
damming.

Illustrated Features
Sealing fittings prevent passage of gases, vapors or flames from
one portion of a conduit system to another. They also restrict
large amounts of ignitable gases or vapors from accumulating to
confine explosive pressure.
Appleton sealing fittings are suitable for Class I and II locations.
EYS, EYSF and EYD are for sealing vertical conduit. EY and ESU
are for sealing vertical and horizontal conduit. EYDM and EYD
also have drain valves.
