Crouse-Hinds 468-5 1-Inch EMT Set Screw Coupling, Zinc Plated Steel

The Crouse-Hinds 468-5 is a 1-Inch EMT Set Screw Coupling built from zinc plated steel for dependable, corrosion-resistant conduit-to-conduit connections. Designed to join two lengths of 1-Inch EMT (electrical metallic tubing) in a straight run, this coupling uses a set screw connection method to secure the conduit ends without the need for threading. It is a staple fitting for electricians working on commercial, industrial, and residential EMT conduit systems where a fast, reliable mechanical joint is required. The 468-5 keeps installation simple and code-compliant, letting crews extend or repair runs of 1-Inch EMT conduit quickly on the job site without special threading tools, while the zinc plated steel body stands up to the wear and moisture exposure common in everyday electrical rough-in work.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: Sized for 1-Inch EMT conduit, allowing a precise, secure fit between two conduit sections.
  • Durable Construction: Manufactured from steel for strength and long service life in demanding electrical installations.
  • Finish: Zinc plated to help resist corrosion and extend the coupling's working life in a variety of installation environments.
  • Set Screw Connection: Tightening set screws secure the EMT conduit ends firmly in place, providing a solid mechanical joint without threading tools.
  • Straight Coupling Design: Connects two straight lengths of 1-Inch EMT conduit, maintaining conduit alignment and raceway integrity.
  • Professional-Grade Fitting: Engineered as a standard EMT accessory for electricians assembling or extending conduit runs on the job site.

Crouse-Hinds CRS462 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Crouse-Hinds EMT set screw coupling come in?
Five trade sizes are offered: 1 inch (part 462), 1-1/4 inch (463), 1-1/2 inch (464), 2 inch (465) and 3-1/2 inch (468). Order by the EMT trade size you are joining, since the coupling body is sized to that tubing and will not accept an adjacent size.
2) Can I use a Crouse-Hinds set screw coupling on rigid or IMC conduit instead of EMT?
No. The 468 series set screw coupling is made for EMT (electrical metallic tubing) only. Rigid and IMC are threaded conduits with thicker walls and different outside diameters, so they need threaded couplings or a threadless compression/set screw fitting rated for rigid. Use the EMT coupling strictly conduit-to-conduit on EMT runs.
3) Is a set screw EMT coupling OK in wet or outdoor locations?
Set screw fittings are dry-location fittings; the zinc plated steel body resists corrosion and everyday moisture in rough-in work, but it does not seal the joint. For wet or damp locations, specify a raintight compression coupling instead.
4) Do I need to thread the conduit or use special tools to install this EMT coupling?
No threading. The coupling grips two cut lengths of EMT with set screws, so a ream of the cut end and a screwdriver or nut driver is all the joint takes. That is why crews use it for extending or repairing an existing run without dragging a threader to the site.
5) Will this coupling keep the raceway bonded as an equipment grounding path?
The body is steel, zinc plated, and the set screws clamp both conduit ends mechanically, so the joint carries continuity the way a steel EMT raceway is intended to. Cut ends should be square and seated fully into the coupling and both screws tightened down for a solid connection.
6) I need to join two pieces of 1 inch EMT in a straight run. Which part number do I order?
Part 462 is the 1 inch size in the Crouse-Hinds set screw coupling line. It is a straight coupling, so it keeps the two tubes in line rather than offsetting them; for a change of direction you need an elbow or a bend in the tubing itself.
7) Can I use this to connect EMT to a box or enclosure?
No, a coupling joins conduit to conduit only. To land EMT at a box or panel you need a set screw connector with a locknut and throat, not a coupling. Order the connector in the matching trade size.
8) Is the 3-1/2 inch size the same style of fitting as the smaller ones?
Yes. Part 468 is the 3-1/2 inch member of the same zinc plated steel set screw family, used the same way on large EMT feeder runs. Larger trade sizes are heavier and typically carry more set screws per end, but the installation method is identical.
