Technical Specifications

This 2" trade size compression coupling accommodates both rigid steel conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. The malleable iron construction provides exceptional mechanical strength while maintaining the flexibility needed for thermal expansion and building movement. NEC/CEC compliant design ensures code compliance for commercial and industrial installations. Product dimensions measure 3.31" in height and width with a 3.06" depth, weighing 1.62 pounds for substantial construction quality.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to coupling seals
2. Insert first conduit section fully into coupling until it reaches the internal stop
3. Apply appropriate compression tool to coupling compression nuts
4. Tighten compression nuts to manufacturer's specified torque requirements
5. Insert second conduit section and repeat compression process
6. Verify secure connection by checking for proper conduit engagement and grounding continuity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses
• Heavy-Duty Electrical Systems - Motor control centers and electrical distribution panels
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
• Equipment Connections - Switchgear, transformers, and electrical equipment feeds
• Conduit Extensions - Joining conduit runs in long electrical distribution systems
• Maintenance Applications - Conduit repairs and system modifications
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit systems requiring superior durability

Compression Coupling System Benefits

Compression couplings offer significant advantages over traditional threaded connections by eliminating the need for field threading, which can weaken conduit and create inconsistent connections. The compression method creates a uniform, 360-degree connection that maintains structural integrity while providing reliable electrical continuity. This technology is particularly valuable in applications where vibration, thermal cycling, or building movement could compromise threaded connections.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron provides superior strength and durability compared to standard steel fittings, making it the preferred choice for demanding electrical installations. This material offers excellent resistance to impact, vibration, and environmental stresses while maintaining dimensional stability over decades of service. Trusted by electrical professionals for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds malleable iron fittings deliver the reliability and performance that contractors depend on for critical electrical infrastructure projects.
