Technical Specifications
This combination coupling features 3/4" trade size compatibility on both ends, with EMT set screw connection on one side and rigid set screw connection on the other. The zinc plated steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the strength required for professional installations. Product dimensions are 2.81" length x 1.25" width x 1.25" height, with a lightweight 0.25 lb design that doesn't add unnecessary weight to conduit runs. The coupling is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards for electrical fitting applications.
Installation Process
- Verify conduit ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to conductors
- Insert EMT conduit into the EMT side of the coupling until it bottoms out
- Tighten the EMT side set screws to manufacturer's specified torque
- Insert rigid conduit into the rigid side of the coupling until fully seated
- Tighten the rigid side set screws to secure the connection
- Verify both connections are secure and properly grounded before energizing
Applications
Perfect for:
- Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities requiring mixed conduit systems
- Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants and processing facilities with varying conduit requirements
- Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panels with different conduit types
- Renovation Projects - Connecting new EMT runs to existing rigid conduit installations
- Mixed System Installations - Projects requiring both EMT flexibility and rigid conduit strength
- Transition Points - Areas where conduit type changes due to environmental or structural requirements
- Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities with complex electrical systems
- Agricultural Systems - Farm buildings and processing facilities requiring durable conduit connections
Combination Coupling System Benefits
Combination couplings eliminate the need for multiple fittings and junction boxes when transitioning between conduit types, reducing installation complexity and potential failure points. This approach provides a more streamlined, professional appearance while maintaining full electrical continuity and code compliance. The direct connection method also reduces material costs and installation time compared to alternative transition methods.
Why Choose Zinc Plated Steel?
Zinc plated steel construction offers the perfect balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness for professional electrical installations. The zinc plating provides superior protection against rust and corrosion compared to standard steel, while maintaining the mechanical strength required for demanding applications. This material choice ensures long-term reliability and performance, making it the preferred option for electrical contractors who demand quality and durability in their conduit system components.
