Technical Specifications

This 1/2" trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with a non-insulated throat design for optimal grounding performance. The straight connector configuration provides direct conduit-to-enclosure connections with compression-style attachment that creates secure mechanical and electrical bonds. Compact dimensions of 1.49" length, 1.01" height, and 0.97" width with lightweight 0.09 lb construction make it ideal for space-constrained installations while maintaining professional-grade performance standards.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and smooth cut edges with reaming tool
3. Insert EMT conduit fully into connector compression fitting
4. Tighten compression nut using appropriate wrench until snug
5. Thread connector into electrical enclosure knockout opening
6. Verify secure mechanical connection and proper grounding continuity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail stores, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouse installations
• Panel Connections - Electrical panels, distribution boards, and switchgear connections
• Equipment Terminations - Motor control centers, disconnect switches, and junction boxes
• Ordinary Locations - Non-hazardous indoor electrical installations
• Branch Circuit Wiring - Power distribution and lighting circuit connections
• Control Systems - Instrumentation and control panel wiring applications
• Maintenance Projects - Electrical system upgrades and retrofit 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 eliminates potential loose connections that can develop with set screw designs, while providing consistent grounding performance essential for electrical safety. The threadless design also reduces installation time and eliminates the need for conduit threading equipment.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel construction delivers exceptional mechanical strength and durability for demanding electrical installations. Unlike lighter materials, steel provides superior impact resistance and maintains secure connections under vibration and thermal cycling. The non-insulated throat design ensures optimal grounding continuity while the professional-grade construction meets the rigorous demands of commercial and industrial electrical systems where reliability is paramount.
