Technical Specifications

This 2" trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with insulated throat design for grounding isolation. The straight connector configuration maintains conduit alignment while providing concrete tight sealing protection. Compact dimensions of 2.75" width x 2.75" height x 1.88" depth with 0.76 lb weight ensure easy handling during installation. The threadless compression design accommodates standard 2" EMT conduit with secure mechanical connection that meets NEC/CEC compliance standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools, ensuring clean, square cuts
2. Remove any burrs or sharp edges from conduit ends using reaming tools
3. Slide compression connector onto conduit end, ensuring full insertion to internal stop
4. Tighten compression screws evenly using appropriate tools to achieve secure mechanical connection
5. Verify proper seating and alignment before connecting to electrical enclosures or junction points
6. Test connection integrity and ensure concrete tight seal is properly formed for embedded applications

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities requiring reliable EMT connections
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing centers, and warehouses with demanding electrical requirements
• Concrete Pour Applications - Embedded conduit systems in foundations, floors, and structural concrete elements
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panels requiring grounding isolation
• Isolated Grounding Systems - Sensitive electronic equipment installations requiring separate grounding paths
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities with professional electrical standards
• Data Center Installations - Critical facility electrical systems requiring reliable, isolated connections
• Healthcare Facilities - Hospitals and medical centers with stringent electrical safety requirements

EMT Compression Connector System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior installation efficiency compared to threaded fittings by eliminating the need for conduit threading equipment and reducing labor time. The compression design creates consistent, reliable connections that maintain electrical continuity while providing mechanical strength. Steel construction ensures long-term durability in commercial and industrial environments, while the concrete tight rating protects electrical systems during construction phases.

Why Choose Insulated Throat Design?

The insulated throat design prevents grounding continuity between conduit sections, making this connector ideal for isolated grounding systems required in sensitive electronic equipment installations. This feature allows electrical contractors to maintain separate grounding paths while using standard EMT conduit systems, providing flexibility in system design and ensuring compliance with specialized grounding requirements in commercial and industrial applications.
