Crouse-Hinds 197 Malleable Iron 3-Piece Conduit Coupling, 3-Inch

The Crouse-Hinds 197 is a 3-Inch malleable iron 3-piece conduit coupling engineered for rigid conduit runs where standard rotating couplings cannot be used, such as final connections between two fixed conduit ends. Built from durable malleable iron, this coupling allows electricians to join sections of rigid conduit without needing to rotate either length of pipe, simplifying installation in tight or restricted spaces where turning a length of conduit is not practical. As a Crouse-Hinds product, the 197 is manufactured to deliver dependable, long-lasting performance in demanding commercial and industrial electrical applications, and its 3-piece configuration makes it a go-to solution for electricians facing awkward alignment challenges in existing raceway systems.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 3-Inch, sized for larger rigid conduit runs in commercial and industrial systems.
  • Durable Construction: Malleable iron body provides strength and durability for demanding installation environments and repeated handling on the jobsite.
  • 3-Piece Design: Allows conduit sections to be joined without rotating either length of pipe, ideal for connecting fixed conduit ends where standard couplings cannot be threaded on.
  • Coupling Function: Provides a secure mechanical connection between two lengths of rigid conduit, maintaining raceway continuity and structural integrity of the run.
  • Professional-Grade: Designed for use by licensed electricians and contractors on commercial and industrial rigid conduit installations.
  • Practical Problem-Solver: Eliminates the need to cut and re-thread conduit when both ends are fixed in place, saving labor time during installation and retrofit work.

Crouse-Hinds CRS197 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I join two rigid conduit ends that are both fixed in place and can't be turned?
That's exactly what the Crouse-Hinds 197 three-piece coupling is for. A standard coupling has to be threaded onto one pipe and then the other pipe rotated into it, which is impossible when both ends are anchored. The 197 breaks the connection into three pieces so the union draws the two fixed ends together without rotating either length of conduit. It saves cutting and re-threading an existing run.
2) Is the Crouse-Hinds 197 coupling for rigid metal conduit or EMT?
Rigid conduit. The 197 is a threaded malleable iron fitting for rigid conduit runs, so the pipe ends need to be threaded. EMT uses set-screw or compression couplings instead and is not what this fitting is built for.
3) Should I use a three-piece coupling or just a standard threaded coupling?
Use a standard threaded coupling whenever you can turn one of the two pipes, it's the simpler and cheaper joint. Reach for the 197 three-piece only when both conduit ends are fixed, such as a final closure between two anchored runs, or when you're working in a space too tight to swing a 3 inch length of pipe. Those are the cases where a rotating coupling cannot be threaded on at all.
4) What is the Crouse-Hinds 197 made of, and will it hold up in an industrial plant?
Malleable iron. That's the standard body material for heavy-duty rigid conduit fittings, and it takes wrench torque and jobsite handling better than die-cast zinc. Crouse-Hinds lists the 197 for commercial and industrial rigid conduit systems, both new construction and retrofit.
5) Does the Crouse-Hinds 197 keep the raceway electrically continuous?
Yes. The 197 provides a secure mechanical connection between two lengths of rigid conduit and maintains raceway continuity and the structural integrity of the run, which is what you need when the conduit itself is serving as the equipment grounding path.
