Arlington Industries 260 Box-to-Box Locknut and Snap-Tite® Connector, 1/2" Trade Size

Arlington Industries' 260 Box-to-Box Locknut and Snap-Tite® Connector gives electricians a fast, tool-minimal method for joining two 1/2" trade size electrical boxes directly, without running a conduit nipple between the enclosures. The kit pairs a threaded locknut with Arlington's Snap-Tite® push-connector technology, so installers can snap two boxes together and lock the joint down with the included locknut for a rigid, mechanically secure box-to-box connection. Sized for 1/2" trade size box openings, the 260 connector functions as a compact box spacer, holding two enclosures at a fixed, aligned distance while maintaining a clean electrical path between them. This box-to-box configuration is especially useful where a full conduit run isn't practical, such as tight wall cavities, back-to-back device boxes, or ganged enclosure assemblies. Because the locknut and Snap-Tite® connector ship together as a matched set, contractors get a single-part solution instead of sourcing a nipple, locknut, and connector separately.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: Built to a 1/2" trade size, matching standard 1/2" box knockouts for direct box-to-box mounting.
  • Snap-Tite® Push Connection: The integrated Snap-Tite® connector lets installers join two enclosures with a quick push-and-lock action, cutting installation time versus threading a separate conduit nipple.
  • Locknut-Secured Joint: The included locknut threads onto the connector to draw the two boxes together and hold the connection tight against vibration and movement.
  • Box-to-Box / Spacer Function: Purpose-built to connect two boxes directly, acting as a box spacer that sets a fixed gap between enclosures without a separate conduit nipple.
  • Matched Kit: The locknut and Snap-Tite® connector are supplied together as one part, simplifying takeoffs and reducing the number of separate components installers need to stock.
  • Simplified Assembly: Combining the locknut and connector into a single 1/2" box-to-box kit reduces labor and parts count on ganged or stacked box runs.

Why Arlington Industries?

Arlington Industries designs its box connection hardware, including the 260 Snap-Tite® connector and locknut set, to simplify installer workflows while maintaining a secure mechanical joint between enclosures. Pairing a purpose-built locknut with Snap-Tite® push-connector technology reflects Arlington's focus on fittings that cut installation steps on the job site. For electricians standardizing on a 1/2" box-to-box connection method, the 260 kit offers a consistent, matched-part solution instead of assembling a connection from separate generic fittings.

Arlington Industries 260 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Arlington 260 box-to-box connector actually do?
The Arlington 260 joins two electrical boxes directly to each other, so you don't have to run a conduit nipple between them. It's a matched set: a Snap-Tite push connector plus a threaded locknut that draws the two enclosures together and holds the joint tight. It also works as a box spacer, setting a fixed, aligned gap between the two boxes while keeping a clean path for the conductors.
2) Do I need a conduit nipple and separate locknut if I use the Arlington 260?
No. The locknut and the Snap-Tite connector ship together as one part number, and the fitting replaces the nipple entirely. That is one line on the takeoff instead of three separate components.
3) Should I use a box-to-box connector or run a short conduit nipple between two boxes?
A nipple makes sense when the boxes need to sit apart at a distance you choose, or where the run continues on. The 260 style box-to-box fitting is for when the two enclosures are meeting directly, back-to-back device boxes, ganged assemblies, or a tight wall cavity where there is no room to thread a nipple and chase locknuts on both sides. It sets one fixed spacing and snaps together instead.
4) Can I use the Arlington 260 on a retrofit where I can't get behind the box?
That's a main use case for it. The Snap-Tite push-and-lock action means you're not threading a nipple into both enclosures, so it suits tight wall cavities and retrofit work where access is limited. Arlington lists renovation and new construction, ganged box installs, and back-to-back device boxes as typical applications.
5) Will the Arlington 260 joint stay tight in a vibrating environment?
The included locknut threads onto the connector and pulls the two boxes together, which is what holds the joint against vibration and movement rather than relying on the snap alone. The snap gets it in place; the locknut makes it rigid.
6) What is the part number to order for the Arlington 1/2 inch box-to-box Snap-Tite connector?
The manufacturer part number is 260 from Arlington Industries. One part number covers the complete set, locknut and Snap-Tite connector, in 1/2 inch trade size. There are no finish or handing options to specify.
