Crouse-Hinds CRS 460 Zinc-Plated Steel EMT Set-Screw Coupling, 1/2-Inch

The Crouse-Hinds CRS 460 is a 1/2-Inch EMT set-screw coupling built from zinc-plated steel for joining sections of electrical metallic tubing in commercial and industrial raceway systems. Designed for straight-through EMT-to-EMT connections, this coupling uses a set-screw connection method to secure conduit runs without the need for threading, making it a fast and dependable choice for panel feeds, branch circuit runs, and general conduit assembly. The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard indoor electrical installations where durable, code-compliant conduit joining hardware is required. Electricians and contractors specify couplings like the CRS 460 when a raceway run needs a secure, tool-tightened joint that maintains electrical continuity and mechanical alignment between conduit sections without the labor of threading or soldering connections in the field.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2-Inch, sized to connect standard 1/2-Inch EMT conduit runs.
  • Durable Construction: Zinc-plated steel body resists corrosion and provides long-term mechanical strength in conduit assemblies.
  • Set-Screw Connection: Set-screw design allows for quick, tool-secured joining of EMT conduit sections without threading or soldering.
  • Coupling Configuration: Engineered specifically for EMT-to-EMT connections, maintaining raceway continuity and conduit alignment.
  • Finish: Zinc-plated finish supports use in standard indoor electrical raceway installations.
  • Conduit Type: Purpose-built for EMT conduit, ensuring proper fit and secure engagement with tubing walls.

Crouse-Hinds CRS460 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Crouse-Hinds CRS 460 EMT set-screw coupling come in?
Two sizes are offered: 1/2 inch, which is part number 460, and 3/4 inch, part number 461. Order by the EMT trade size you are joining, since the coupling body is sized to that tubing and will not grip a different size.
2) Can I use a set-screw coupling like the CRS 460 to join rigid or IMC conduit instead of EMT?
No. The CRS 460 is built specifically for EMT (electrical metallic tubing), with the set screws biting into the thin tubing wall. Rigid and IMC are threaded conduit and need threaded couplings or a threaded-to-EMT transition fitting instead.
3) Is a zinc-plated steel EMT coupling okay outdoors or in a wet location?
The zinc plating on the CRS 460 is specified for corrosion resistance in standard indoor electrical raceway installations. Set-screw fittings are not raintight, so for damp or wet exterior runs you want a compression (gland) type EMT fitting rated for that use rather than this one.
4) Do I need to thread the conduit to use the Crouse-Hinds CRS 460 coupling?
No threading, no soldering. Slide the cut EMT ends into each side of the coupling and tighten the set screws with a screwdriver or nut driver. That is the whole point of the set-screw design, and it is why these go in fast on branch circuit and panel feed runs.
5) Will a set-screw EMT coupling keep the raceway bonded for equipment grounding?
The CRS 460 is a steel-bodied coupling whose set screws clamp metal to metal, maintaining electrical continuity and mechanical alignment between conduit sections. Continuity across the joint depends on the screws being properly tightened against clean tubing.
6) What is the difference between a set-screw coupling and a compression coupling for EMT?
Both join EMT without threading. Set-screw types like the CRS 460 use screws that clamp the tubing, and they go in quickly and cost less, which suits dry indoor commercial and industrial raceway. Compression couplings use a gland nut and ferrule and are the choice where the run is exposed to moisture.
7) Is the CRS 460 a straight coupling or does it make an offset?
Straight through only. It is engineered for in-line EMT-to-EMT connections, so for a change of direction you need an elbow or a field bend, and for a box entry you need a connector rather than a coupling.
8) Can I standardize on the Crouse-Hinds CRS 460 across a facility's 1/2-inch EMT runs?
Yes, that is the normal use for it. The 460 handles every straight 1/2 inch EMT splice, and the matching 461 covers 3/4 inch, so a two-line stock covers most branch circuit and panel feed work in an MRO crib. You still need separate connectors for terminations into boxes and panels.
