Overview

The ABB Installation Products XP Flex Explosion Proof Flexible Coupling (SKU: XPLFL16) is a 1/2-inch diameter by 6-inch length coupling designed for hazardous locations where explosion risk must be mitigated. This coupling provides a flexible connection between conduits or cables in Class I, II, and III, Division 1 and 2 hazardous environments, as defined by NEC/CEC standards. The XP Flex design allows for angular, lateral, and axial movement, accommodating thermal expansion, vibration, and structural settling without compromising the explosion-proof seal. The coupling is constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, including a stainless steel braided outer sleeve and a neoprene inner liner, ensuring long-term performance in corrosive or damp conditions. It is compatible with rigid metal conduit, IMC, and EMT, as well as liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) and liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit (LFNC). The coupling features a threaded end for secure installation and a compression nut for tight sealing. Typical applications include oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, grain processing, wastewater treatment, and other industrial environments where explosion hazards are present. The XP Flex coupling meets UL 1203 and CSA C22.2 No.
