Technical Specifications

This 1-1/4" trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with insulated throat design for electrical isolation. The straight, threadless configuration provides concrete tight performance meeting NEC/CEC standards. Dimensions measure 2.06" height x 2.06" width x 1.63" depth with a weight of 0.43 pounds. The compression mechanism creates secure connections for EMT conduit in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and debris from conduit end using reaming tools
3. Insert conduit fully into connector compression fitting
4. Position connector against enclosure knockout or entry point
5. Tighten compression mechanism to manufacturer specifications
6. Verify secure connection and proper grounding continuity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial applications
• Concrete Pour Applications - Foundation penetrations, slab connections, and below-grade installations
• Wet Location Installations - Areas subject to moisture exposure requiring concrete tight protection
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical distribution panels
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facility electrical systems
• Grounding Isolation Systems - Applications requiring electrical separation between conduit and enclosure
• Heavy-Duty Electrical Systems - High-vibration environments and mechanically demanding installations

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior performance compared to set screw alternatives through their mechanical compression design. The compression mechanism creates a gas-tight seal that maintains integrity under thermal cycling, vibration, and environmental stress. This technology eliminates the potential for loose connections that can develop with set screw fittings over time, ensuring long-term electrical system reliability.

Why Choose Insulated Throat Design?

The insulated throat construction provides electrical isolation between the EMT conduit and the connected enclosure, offering enhanced grounding control and system flexibility. This design prevents unwanted electrical paths while maintaining the mechanical strength and environmental protection required for professional electrical installations. Combined with concrete tight performance, this connector delivers the reliability and durability that electrical contractors depend on for critical infrastructure projects.
