Crouse-Hinds 462RED Zinc Plated Steel Thin Wall Set-Screw Coupling, 1-Inch EMT

Crouse-Hinds 462RED Zinc Plated Steel Thin Wall Set-Screw Coupling, 1-Inch EMT

The Crouse-Hinds 462RED is a 1-Inch thin wall set-screw coupling engineered to join sections of EMT (electrical metallic tubing) conduit runs in a straight, secure connection. Built from zinc plated steel, this coupling delivers durable corrosion resistance while providing a reliable set-screw connection method that installers can trust for commercial and industrial electrical work. As a standard component in thin wall conduit systems, the 462RED helps maintain a continuous, code-compliant raceway for electrical conductors, protecting wiring from physical damage and environmental exposure along the run. Electrical contractors rely on couplings like the 462RED to keep EMT runs mechanically sound and electrically continuous from panel to fixture, ensuring the raceway performs as a unified system rather than a series of loosely joined tubing sections.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1-Inch coupling sized for connecting standard 1-Inch thin wall EMT conduit sections.
• Durable Construction: Zinc plated steel body resists corrosion and provides long-lasting mechanical strength for raceway connections.
• Set-Screw Connection: Set screw design allows for straightforward, secure tightening onto conduit ends without threading, speeding up installation.
• Thin Wall Compatibility: Purpose-built for EMT (thin wall) conduit systems, ensuring a proper mechanical fit between conduit sections.
• Straight Coupling Configuration: Connects two lengths of EMT conduit in-line, maintaining a continuous, protected pathway for wiring.
• Tool-Free Efficiency: The set-screw method eliminates the need for threading tools, allowing electricians to complete straight-run connections quickly and efficiently on the jobsite.
