American Fittings ERC250BCONN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the American Fittings ERC-250 compression connector be used on rigid conduit, or is it EMT only?
It's dual rated, so the same fitting terminates either EMT or rigid conduit. That's the main reason contractors stock it: one fitting covers both raceway types on a job instead of carrying two part numbers. The compression body grips the conduit rather than threading onto it, so you're not depending on field-cut threads on the rigid.
2) Is this connector listed for use in a grounding or bonding application?
It carries both UL 514B and UL 467 listings. UL 514B is the conduit fittings standard; UL 467 is the grounding and bonding equipment standard, which is why this fitting is acceptable where the connector is part of the equipment grounding path. It's also built to NEMA FB 1 and the federal spec A-A-50553.
3) Does the insulated throat mean I can skip the bushing on large EMT runs?
The ERC-250 series connector has a factory insulated throat, so the conductor insulation is protected at the point where wire passes into the enclosure without adding a separate insulating bushing to the connector. That matters most at 2-1/2 through 4 inch, where you're pulling large conductors and the pull is hard on insulation. It does not change any grounding or bonding requirement on the raceway itself.
4) Do these connectors meet Buy American requirements on a federal or public job?
They're manufactured in the United States, and American Fittings states Buy American Act and ARRA compliance for the ERC-250 series. The domestic origin plus the UL 514B/467 listing is usually what a government or institutional spec is asking for on raceway fittings. RoHS, REACH, CA Prop 65 and conflict minerals certifications are also stated.
5) Compression or set screw connector for a 3 inch EMT run?
Compression is the right call where the raceway sees vibration or where you want a tighter mechanical termination than a set screw gives. The ERC series uses a compression gland that squeezes the conduit all the way around, which holds up better under vibration than a point-contact set screw. Set screw fittings go in faster and cost less, so they're common on dry interior branch work. At 3 inch feeder size in a commercial or industrial room, compression is the usual spec.
6) Are these compression connectors rated for wet or outdoor locations?
Concrete-tight and rain-tight ratings vary by fitting and aren't part of what American Fittings states for the ERC-250 series. What is stated is the UL 514B and UL 467 listing, NEMA FB 1 construction, and dual rating for EMT and rigid. For a wet location termination, specify a fitting whose listing explicitly calls out raintight or concrete-tight service.
