Re:	Registration statement on Form S-8 of EnPro Industries, Inc. relating to the EnPro Industries, Inc. 2020 Equity Compensation Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have served as counsel to EnPro Industries, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Corporation”), in connection with the preparation by the Corporation of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the offer and sale of up to 1,448,698 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), to be issued by the Corporation pursuant to the EnPro Industries, Inc. 2020 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

We have examined the Plan, the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and such other corporate and other documents and records and certificates of public officials as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

We have assumed (i) the authority and genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and (iv) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies. We have assumed that the Corporation and those officers and employees who may receive awards under the Plan will have complied with the relevant requirements of the Plan and that all prescribed filings with regulatory authorities, including any stock exchanges having jurisdiction, will be effected in accordance with their respective requirements and that the approvals of such regulatory authorities, including any stock exchanges having jurisdiction, will have been granted prior to the issuance of any of the Shares.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, if and when originally issued and sold by the Corporation pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and upon payment of the consideration payable therefor pursuant to the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will represent validly authorized and outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of North Carolina and the federal laws of the United States, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other state or jurisdiction.

The opinions expressed herein are contingent upon the Registration Statement becoming effective under the Act.
