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, 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.
