Technical Specifications

This 3/4" trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with insulated throat design for conductor protection. The connector measures 1.38" in height and width with 1.19" depth, weighing 0.16 pounds for easy handling. The concrete tight design prevents moisture infiltration in embedded applications, while the threadless compression mechanism eliminates the need for field threading. Compliant with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, this straight connector provides reliable performance in commercial and industrial electrical systems.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and sharp edges from conduit end using reaming tools
3. Insert conduit fully into the compression connector body
4. Tighten compression mechanism to manufacturer specifications
5. Verify secure connection by checking for proper conduit retention
6. Install connector into electrical box or enclosure knockout

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing centers, and distribution warehouses
• Concrete Embedded Systems - Underground conduit runs and slab-on-grade installations
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and distribution panels
• Wet Location Applications - Areas requiring moisture protection and environmental sealing
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
• Data Center Installations - Critical power distribution and backup systems
• Hospital Electrical Systems - Medical equipment power and emergency circuits

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior performance compared to set screw alternatives by creating uniform pressure around the entire conduit circumference. This compression design eliminates potential loose connections that can develop over time with set screw fittings, while providing better grounding continuity and vibration resistance. The threadless design reduces installation time and eliminates the need for threading equipment in the field.

Why Choose Insulated Throat Design?

The insulated throat construction protects conductor insulation from damage during wire pulling operations while maintaining electrical isolation between the raceway system and conductors. This design feature reduces the risk of ground faults and ensures long-term system reliability. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this connector delivers the professional-grade performance that electrical contractors trust for critical installations.
