Technical Specifications
This 3/4" trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with a non-insulated throat design for optimal grounding continuity. The straight connector configuration measures 1.59 inches in length, 1.2 inches in width, and 1.25 inches in height, with a total weight of 0.16 pounds. The threadless compression design is specifically engineered for EMT conduit systems and complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Installation Process
- Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
- Remove burrs and smooth cut edges with reaming tool or file
- Slide compression connector onto EMT until conduit reaches internal stop
- Thread connector into enclosure, junction box, or coupling by hand
- Tighten compression nut using appropriate wrench until snug
- Verify secure connection by gently pulling on conduit
Applications
Perfect for:
- Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail stores, 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 Terminations - Machinery connections, control cabinets, and switchgear installations
- Branch Circuit Wiring - Lighting circuits, receptacle feeds, and equipment branch circuits
- Renovation Projects - Electrical system upgrades and facility expansions
- Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
- Healthcare Facilities - Hospitals, clinics, and medical equipment installations
EMT Compression System Benefits
EMT compression connectors provide superior performance compared to set screw alternatives by creating uniform compression around the entire conduit circumference. This 360-degree compression eliminates potential weak points and provides consistent holding power even under vibration or thermal cycling. The compression design also ensures optimal electrical continuity for grounding purposes while reducing installation time through simplified connection procedures.
Why Choose Steel Construction?
Steel construction offers exceptional mechanical strength and durability for demanding electrical installations. Unlike lighter materials, steel provides superior thread engagement strength and resistance to over-tightening damage. The robust steel construction ensures long-term reliability in high-vibration environments and maintains dimensional stability under varying temperature conditions, making it the preferred choice for professional electrical contractors.
