Technical Specifications

This 1-1/2 inch trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with insulated throat design for conductor protection. The straight connector configuration provides direct conduit termination into electrical enclosures, panels, and junction boxes. Concrete tight sealing capability makes it ideal for installations requiring moisture protection. The threadless compression design eliminates the need for field threading while ensuring secure mechanical connection. NEC/CEC compliant construction meets code requirements for EMT conduit systems in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and sharp edges from conduit end using reaming tool
3. Insert conduit fully into connector compression fitting
4. Position connector against enclosure knockout or hub opening
5. Tighten compression mechanism to manufacturer specifications
6. Verify secure connection and proper sealing before energizing

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and schools
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses
• Concrete Pour Applications - Foundation work, slab installations, and underground conduit runs
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit terminations requiring moisture protection
• Panel Connections - Electrical panels, switchgear, and distribution equipment
• Motor Control Centers - Industrial equipment connections requiring reliable sealing
• Junction Box Terminations - Pull boxes and splice enclosures in EMT systems
• Maintenance Areas - Locations requiring easy conduit system modifications

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior installation flexibility compared to set screw alternatives by eliminating threading requirements and providing concrete tight sealing. The compression mechanism creates a more secure mechanical connection that resists loosening from vibration while maintaining excellent electrical continuity. This makes compression connectors the preferred choice for applications requiring moisture protection or where conduit systems may be subject to movement or settling.

Why Choose Insulated Throat Design?

The insulated throat construction protects conductor insulation during wire pulling operations, reducing the risk of damage that could lead to ground faults or short circuits. This feature is particularly valuable in larger trade sizes where wire pulling forces are higher and conductor protection becomes critical. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' reputation for quality and reliability, this connector delivers the professional performance electrical contractors demand for long-term system integrity.
