Technical Specifications

This 3/4" trade size compression connector features malleable iron construction with non-insulated throat design for optimal grounding performance. The straight configuration measures 1.63" in width and height with 1.5" depth, weighing 0.23 pounds for easy handling during installation. Compatible with both rigid steel conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems, this connector provides reliable connections in ordinary/non-hazardous locations while meeting NEC/CEC compliance standards for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Ensure conduit end is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to connector threads
2. Insert conduit fully into the connector body until it reaches the internal stop
3. Hand-tighten the compression nut to ensure proper seating against the conduit
4. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the compression mechanism to manufacturer specifications
5. Verify secure connection by checking that conduit cannot be withdrawn from connector
6. Test grounding continuity across the connection to ensure proper electrical performance

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy-duty electrical installations
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Conduit Extensions - Extending rigid and IMC conduit runs in straight configurations
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, schools, and public facility electrical systems
• Heavy-Duty Applications - High-vibration environments requiring secure conduit connections
• Grounding Systems - Applications requiring continuous electrical grounding throughout conduit runs
• Code-Critical Installations - Projects requiring strict NEC/CEC compliance and professional-grade components

Compression Connector System Benefits

Compression connectors offer significant advantages over traditional threaded connections, including faster installation times, consistent connection quality, and reduced risk of cross-threading. The compression mechanism creates a mechanical bond that maintains integrity under vibration and thermal cycling, making these connectors ideal for industrial environments and equipment connections where reliability is critical.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron provides superior strength compared to standard steel fittings, offering enhanced impact resistance and dimensional stability under stress. This material choice ensures long-term performance in demanding electrical installations while maintaining the grounding continuity essential for safe electrical systems. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this connector delivers the reliability and performance that electrical professionals demand for critical installations.
