Technical Specifications

This 1-1/2" trade size compression coupling features malleable iron construction with precision-machined compression mechanisms. The coupling accommodates both rigid steel conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) with secure mechanical connections. Product dimensions measure 2.69" length x 2.63" width x 2.63" height with a weight of 1.24 pounds, providing substantial construction for demanding applications. The compression design eliminates the need for conduit threading while maintaining superior grounding continuity and mechanical strength.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit ends are cut square and deburred to ensure proper seating
2. Slide compression coupling onto first conduit end until fully seated
3. Insert second conduit end into opposite side of coupling
4. Tighten compression screws evenly using appropriate torque specifications
5. Verify secure mechanical connection and proper grounding continuity
6. Test connection integrity before energizing the circuit

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial applications
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and distribution panels
• Conduit Extensions - Joining conduit runs where threading is impractical or impossible
• Retrofit Projects - Connecting new conduit to existing systems without field threading
• Underground Applications - Concrete-tight installations in foundations and underground systems
• Mechanical Rooms - HVAC equipment connections and utility distribution systems
• Data Centers - Critical infrastructure requiring reliable conduit connections

Compression Coupling System Benefits

Compression couplings offer significant advantages over traditional threaded connections by eliminating the need for field threading while providing superior mechanical strength. The compression design creates a secure, weatherproof connection that maintains grounding continuity and resists loosening from vibration or thermal cycling. This makes them ideal for applications where conduit threading is impractical or where maximum connection reliability is required.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron provides superior strength compared to steel while offering excellent machinability and dimensional stability. This material choice ensures the coupling maintains precise tolerances over decades of service while resisting impact damage and environmental stress. The malleable iron construction, combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, delivers the reliability and performance that electrical professionals demand for critical conduit system connections.
