<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have acted as counsel to IDEX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), in
connection with the proposed issuance of up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01
per share (the &#147;Shares&#148;), issuable pursuant to the IDEX Corporation Incentive Award Plan (As
Amended and Restated) (the &#147;Plan&#148;). The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form
S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;), filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) on May&nbsp;20, 2010 (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). This
opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item&nbsp;601(b)(5) of Regulation&nbsp;S-K
under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any
matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus, other than
as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have
considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon
certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters
without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of
the date hereof, when the Shares have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and
registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the recipient, and have been issued by the Company
in the manner contemplated by the Plan, including the receipt of payment for such Shares in an
amount in cash or other legal consideration of not less than the aggregate par value for such
Shares, the issuance and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action of the Company, and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
