Overview

The ABB XJG98-G PVC Coated XJG Rigid Conduit Expansion Coupling (SKU: XJG98-G) is a malleable iron conduit fitting designed to manage thermal expansion and contraction in rigid steel or intermediate metal conduit systems. Rated for 3-1/2 inch conduit (metric designator 91), this coupling accommodates up to 8 inches of movement, preventing stress on joints and maintaining system integrity in long conduit runs. The malleable iron body features interior and exterior zinc plating for corrosion resistance, while the gray PVC coating provides additional UV protection and durability in harsh environments such as outdoor installations, chemical plants, or coastal areas. Key features include a no-disassembly installation process, eliminating the need for tools or additional parts. The coupling incorporates a true internal bonding jumper made of tinned copper braid, ensuring continuous electrical continuity and meeting NEC grounding requirements without external jumpers. An internal sliding bushing (keyed) and bonding bushing further enhance performance and ease of installation. With a length of 16.87 inches (428.50 mm), diameter of 6.37 inches (161.80 mm), and height of 6.75 inches (171.45 mm), the XJG98-G is compatible with standard rigid conduit systems. The PTFE/synthetic fiber packing ensures smooth, long-lasting operation with minimal friction during expansion cycles. Ideal for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable thermal management and grounding in conduit systems.
