Technical Specifications

This 1-1/4" trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with non-insulated throat design for continuous grounding. The straight connector configuration provides direct conduit-to-enclosure connections with threadless installation. Dimensions measure 2.06" height x 2.06" width x 1.56" depth, weighing 0.43 pounds. The connector meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is designed specifically for electrical metallic tubing applications.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and ensure clean, square cut on conduit end
3. Insert EMT fully into connector until it reaches the internal stop
4. Position compression tool over connector compression ring
5. Apply compression force until tool indicates complete compression cycle
6. Verify secure connection by attempting to withdraw conduit

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and distribution centers
• Electrical Panel Connections - Main distribution panels, sub-panels, and motor control centers
• Equipment Connections - Machinery, HVAC units, and electrical equipment installations
• Conduit Extensions - Extending EMT runs to reach final termination points
• Retrofit Projects - Upgrading existing electrical systems with modern EMT installations
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
• Data Centers - Server rooms and telecommunications equipment installations

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 action ensures consistent grounding continuity and eliminates the potential for loose connections that can develop with set screw fittings over time. The threadless design also reduces installation time while providing more reliable long-term performance in applications subject to vibration or thermal cycling.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel compression connectors offer the ideal balance of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness for most EMT applications. The steel construction provides excellent mechanical strength for industrial environments while maintaining compatibility with standard EMT conduit. The non-insulated throat design ensures optimal grounding performance, making this connector the preferred choice for electrical professionals who demand reliable, code-compliant installations that will perform for decades.
