Technical Specifications

This 1-1/2 inch trade size compression connector features malleable iron construction with a straight, non-insulated design optimized for rigid and IMC conduit systems. The connector measures 2.63 inches in height and width with a 2.06 inch depth, weighing 0.87 pounds for substantial feel and durability. The compression design creates a mechanical connection that maintains excellent grounding continuity while providing superior holding power compared to set screw alternatives. Suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with full NEC/CEC compliance for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit end is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to connector threads
2. Thread the compression connector onto the conduit end, ensuring full engagement of threads
3. Insert the conduit assembly into the electrical enclosure or junction point
4. Tighten the compression fitting using appropriate tools to manufacturer specifications
5. Verify secure mechanical connection and proper grounding continuity
6. Complete electrical connections according to local electrical codes and project specifications

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy-duty equipment installations
• Electrical Panel Connections - Main distribution panels, sub-panels, and motor control centers
• Equipment Terminations - Switchgear, transformers, and large electrical equipment connections
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, schools, and public facility electrical systems
• Heavy-Duty Applications - High-vibration environments where superior connection strength is required
• Conduit Extensions - Joining rigid or IMC conduit runs in straight-line configurations
• Renovation Projects - Upgrading existing electrical systems with reliable, code-compliant connections

Compression Connector System Benefits

Compression connectors provide superior performance compared to set screw alternatives by creating a mechanical connection that grips the entire conduit circumference. This design eliminates the risk of conduit damage from over-tightening set screws while providing exceptional pull-out strength and vibration resistance. The compression action also ensures consistent grounding continuity, making these connectors ideal for sensitive electronic equipment installations and high-reliability electrical systems.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron offers significant advantages over standard steel construction, providing superior impact resistance and dimensional stability under stress. This material choice ensures the connector maintains its structural integrity even in demanding industrial environments with temperature cycling and mechanical stress. The enhanced strength characteristics of malleable iron make it the preferred choice for electrical contractors who demand long-term reliability and professional-grade performance in their conduit systems.
