Crouse-Hinds 161 Malleable Iron Set Screw Coupling, 3/4-Inch EMT

Crouse-Hinds 161 Malleable Iron Set Screw Coupling, 3/4-Inch EMT

The Crouse-Hinds 161 Set Screw Coupling is a 3/4-Inch coupling built from malleable iron for joining sections of EMT (electrical metallic tubing) in commercial and industrial raceway systems. Designed for straight, in-line connections, this coupling secures conduit runs with a positive set-screw grip that resists loosening from vibration and thermal cycling. As a member of the Crouse-Hinds conduit fitting line, the 161 delivers dependable mechanical continuity for electrical installations that demand durable, code-compliant conduit connections. Electricians and contractors specify this coupling when extending or splicing EMT runs without the added cost and labor of a junction box, making it a practical solution for both new construction and renovation wiring projects.
