Hubbell XLR1 Explosion Proof Conduit Body 1/2 in

Product Description

The HUBBELL XLR1 is an aluminum explosion-proof conduit body designed for use in hazardous location electrical installations. This fitting provides a transition or pull point in a conduit run while maintaining the integrity of an explosion-proof system. Constructed from aluminum, it offers a lightweight yet durable option for routing conductors through classified environments. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. The 1/2 inch trade size suits smaller conduit runs common in instrumentation, control wiring, and low-voltage branch circuits within hazardous zones.

This conduit body is suited for hazardous location wiring in industrial, petrochemical, wastewater, and manufacturing facilities where NEC Article 500 classified areas require explosion-proof fittings. It is appropriate for Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 environments where approved explosion-proof conduit systems are required. Electricians use this fitting to access conductors for pulling, splicing, or changing direction within a listed explosion-proof conduit assembly.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance with a reduced weight profile
• 1/2 inch trade size fits standard 1/2 inch rigid or IMC conduit systems
• Explosion-proof design maintains system integrity in hazardous classified locations
• Conduit body form allows conductor access for pulling and directional changes
• Suitable for use in NEC Article 500 hazardous location installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for 1/2 inch explosion-proof conduit systems in hazardous location electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with NEC Article 500 hazardous location requirements. De-energize all circuits and verify the area is clear of flammable vapors before opening or installing any conduit fitting in a classified location. All conduit entries must be sealed as required by the applicable NEC division and class requirements. Verify that the complete conduit assembly is listed and approved for the specific hazardous location classification at the job site.
