Steel City XC220-SC-5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the XC220-SC-5 connector insulated, and does that matter for pulling conductors?
Non-insulated. The XC220-SC-5 has no insulated throat, so there's no plastic bushing protecting conductor insulation as wire is pulled through. Where your inspector or job spec calls for an insulated throat on conductor sizes that require it, you'll want the insulated version of the same fitting instead.
2) Can I use a set screw EMT connector like this outdoors or in a wet location?
No. A set screw connector is a dry-location fitting; it doesn't seal against water at the tubing or the box. For outdoors, damp areas, or anywhere subject to washdown, you need a raintight compression connector instead. The XC220-SC-5 is the uninsulated set screw style.
3) What is the Steel City XC220-SC-5 made of?
Zinc die cast. That's the standard body material for economy set screw EMT fittings used in dry indoor locations. Die cast zinc is not the same as steel or malleable iron, so if a spec sheet calls out a steel set screw connector, this one doesn't meet it.
4) Does the XC220-SC-5 come as a 5-pack or is it sold individually?
The selling unit of measure on the XC220-SC-5 is each. The part number reflects the manufacturer's 5-per-bag packaging, but the ordering unit is a single item, so order the quantity you need by piece count.
5) What is the difference between a set screw connector and a set screw coupling for 3/8 EMT?
A connector terminates conduit into a box or enclosure, with a threaded hub and locknut end. A coupling joins two lengths of tubing to each other and has no box end. The XC220-SC-5 is the connector, so pair it with a coupling if you also need to splice runs of 3/8 inch EMT.
6) Is a locknut included with the Steel City XC220-SC-5 connector?
Steel City ships this style of fitting with the locknut on the box end. What it does not include is the conduit, the box, or any bushing, since it's a non-insulated fitting. Plan on a separate insulating bushing if your conductor size calls for one.
