Technical Specifications

This 1/2" trade size compression coupling features malleable iron construction with precision-engineered compression mechanisms for secure conduit connections. The fitting measures 1.5 inches in width and height with a 1.81-inch length, weighing 0.26 pounds for easy handling during installation. Compatible with both rigid steel and IMC conduit systems, this coupling maintains NEC/CEC compliance standards while providing reliable grounding continuity. The compression design eliminates the need for threading conduit ends, making it ideal for field modifications and repairs in existing installations.

Installation Process

1. Cut conduit ends square and remove burrs with a reaming tool
2. Slide compression coupling onto first conduit end until fully seated
3. Insert second conduit end into opposite side of coupling
4. Tighten compression nuts evenly using appropriate wrenches
5. Verify secure connection by checking for movement between conduit sections
6. Test grounding continuity across the connection if required by installation specifications

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy equipment installations
• Infrastructure Projects - Municipal buildings, transportation facilities, and utility installations
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Conduit Extensions - Field modifications and system expansions in existing installations
• Maintenance Applications - Repair and replacement work where threading is impractical
• Underground Systems - Concrete-encased installations requiring reliable long-term performance
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed applications requiring corrosion-resistant materials

Compression Coupling System Benefits

Compression couplings offer significant advantages over traditional threaded connections, particularly in field installation scenarios. The compression design eliminates the need for threading conduit ends, reducing installation time and labor costs while providing consistently reliable connections. This makes them ideal for maintenance work, system modifications, and installations where precise conduit lengths are critical. The mechanical compression ensures a secure connection that maintains grounding continuity while accommodating slight misalignments that might occur during installation.
