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

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.
