Allied Tube & Conduit CKR-150KON – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the CKR-150KON compression coupling be used outdoors or in a wet location?
Yes. The Allied Tube & Conduit CKR-150KON is a raintight compression coupling, rated for use in wet locations. It is also concrete tight, so it can be poured into a slab without grout or moisture migrating into the raceway.
2) What size conduit does the Allied CKR-150KON coupling take?
It is a 1-1/2 inch coupling, so it joins two runs of 1-1/2 inch trade size EMT. Both ends are compression, meaning the tubing slides in and the nut is tightened down over a gland ring; no threading of the EMT is required.
3) Should I use a raintight compression coupling or a set-screw coupling for 1-1/2 inch EMT?
Set-screw couplings are for dry indoor locations only. If the run is outdoors, on a rooftop, in a parking garage, in a car wash or anywhere exposed to weather or washdown, you need a raintight compression fitting like the CKR-150KON. It is also the choice where the conduit is being buried in concrete, since it is concrete tight.
4) Is the CKR-150KON steel or die cast?
Steel, with heavy walls. That matters where the coupling is exposed to physical abuse or is being encased in concrete, since a steel body holds up to the pour and to knocks during rough-in better than a lighter fitting.
5) Why is the nut on this Allied compression coupling blue?
The blue nut is an identification feature. On a job where both standard and raintight compression fittings are in the same gang box, the blue nut tells the installer and the inspector at a glance that the CKR-150KON is the raintight version.
6) Do I need anything else to install this coupling, or is everything included?
The CKR-150KON ships complete as a coupling: body, nuts and compression rings. You do not need threaded conduit, a locknut or a bushing for a coupling to coupling connection. Just cut and ream the EMT square, bottom it into each end and tighten the nuts down with a wrench, not by hand, to keep the raintight seal.
