Hot Dipped Galvanized Products Ideal for Transportation, Infrastructure and Mass Transit Use
SYRACUSE, NY, - Continually looking for ways to offer a broader range of solutions to our customers, Cooper Crouse-Hinds, a leader in electrical products that provide safety, productivity, innovation and labor savings in hazardous, industrial and commercial environments, has developed a complete line of Hot Dipped Galvanized products designed for use with rigid/IMC conduit.
The product offering includes conduit bodies and covers, mogul bodies and covers, conduit straps, clamps and couplings as well as hubs, XJG & XD expansion & deflection joints, cast boxes and covers, all hot dipped galvanized. This broad product offering provides corrosion protection against water, road salt and other harsh environmental conditions making them ideal for transportation, mass transit and bridge or other infrastructure use. Available on a wide range of products, hot dipped galvanized solutions from Cooper Crouse-Hinds provide another corrosion resistant option beyond stainless steel and epoxy coatings.
"All of our hot dipped galvanized products are designed to stand up to the test of time," said Grant Gawronski, President, Cooper Crouse-Hinds. "The hot dip galvanized process produces a much thicker, durable coating which prevents corrosion of the protected product. For our customers, that means options in choosing a solution the best meets their preferences and specification requirements in delivering long, dependable service and a reduced need for replacement or general maintenance."
For maximum strength and durability, each product is passed through a molten bath of zinc at high temperatures. The result is a metallurgical bond formed between both the zinc and steel with a series of distinct iron-zinc alloys. The thick, durable coating produced prevents corrosion by forming a physical barrier on the product. Should that barrier become damaged, the coating acts as a sacrificial anode protecting the steel inside. All hot dipped galvanized products conform to finish thickness per ASTM A123/A123M, UL514B and NEMA FB1 standards.
