Steel City TC716A-RT 2 INCH INS RAINTIGHT COMPR CONN

Yes. The TC716A-RT is a raintight compression connector, which is the type used where EMT runs outdoors or in damp and wet locations. It carries a UL listing under file E16592. A set screw EMT connector will not hold a raintight rating, so if the run is exposed to weather, compression is the fitting you want.

It is sized for 2 inch EMT (electrical metallic tubing). The compression nut clamps the tubing, so the conduit has to be trade size 2 exactly. For other runs on the same job you will need the matching size in the same series.

Yes, the TC716A-RT is an insulated throat connector. That insulating bushing at the conduit opening protects conductor insulation as wire is pulled through, which is what inspectors look for on larger raceways carrying big conductors.

Steel body with a zinc plated finish. Steel compression connectors hold up better to impact and to being torqued down hard than die cast zinc, and the plating is what gives the corrosion resistance needed for the exterior runs this raintight fitting is meant for.

Use compression where water can reach the fitting: exterior walls, rooftops, parking structures, wash down areas. The TC716A-RT is the raintight compression version in 2 inch. Set screw connectors are cheaper and faster to install but are for dry, indoor locations only. On a job that runs both inside and out, many contractors standardize on compression throughout to avoid the wrong fitting ending up outside.

It sells as each, not by the carton, so order the exact count your job needs. Plan on the connector itself for the box or enclosure entry and confirm your own locknut and any sealing ring requirements for the enclosure you are landing in.

Country of origin is listed as India or China depending on the production run. It is UL listed under file E16592 either way, which is the number an inspector or a spec reviewer will want on a project with domestic or listing documentation requirements.
