Technical Specifications

This 4-inch trade size EMT compression connector features zinc-plated steel construction with non-insulated throat design for optimal grounding continuity. The straight configuration provides direct conduit-to-enclosure connections with threadless compression technology. Designed specifically for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) applications, this connector meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Product dimensions are 6.5" height x 5.8" length x 4.3" width, weighing 3.6 pounds for substantial mechanical strength.

Installation Process

1. Verify EMT cut is square and deburred to prevent compression ring damage
2. Slide compression nut and ring onto EMT conduit before insertion
3. Insert EMT fully into connector body until it contacts the internal stop
4. Position compression ring squarely against connector body threads
5. Thread compression nut hand-tight, then tighten with wrench until EMT is firmly secured
6. Verify proper grounding continuity through non-insulated connection

Applications

Perfect for:

• Large Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, shopping centers, hospitals requiring heavy-duty 4" EMT distribution
• Industrial Manufacturing - Production facilities, processing plants with high-capacity electrical systems
• Data Centers - Server facilities requiring extensive 4" EMT conduit for power distribution and cable management
• Educational Facilities - Schools, universities with large electrical distribution requirements
• Healthcare Facilities - Hospitals, medical centers requiring reliable electrical infrastructure
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, public facilities with substantial electrical loads
• Retail Complexes - Large stores, malls requiring extensive EMT conduit systems
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and large electrical panels

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior mechanical strength compared to set screw alternatives, especially critical in 4-inch applications where conduit weight and conductor loads are substantial. The compression design distributes clamping forces evenly around the EMT circumference, preventing deformation while ensuring reliable long-term connections. This technology is particularly valuable in commercial installations where vibration, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress demand the highest connection reliability.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel construction with zinc plating delivers the optimal balance of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness for demanding EMT applications. The material provides exceptional mechanical strength for large conduit installations while the zinc plating ensures long-term corrosion resistance. This combination makes steel EMT connectors the preferred choice for commercial and industrial environments where reliability and longevity are essential for electrical system integrity.
