Technical Specifications

This 1-1/4 inch trade size EMT compression coupling features zinc plated steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The coupling measures 2.25 inches in length with a 2.06-inch width and height profile, weighing 0.46 pounds for easy handling during installation. The compression-type connection mechanism provides secure conduit joining without requiring field threading or special tools. Designed specifically for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) applications, this coupling maintains NEC/CEC compliance standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to coupling threads
2. Insert first EMT conduit section fully into one end of the compression coupling
3. Hand-tighten compression nut to secure first conduit section in place
4. Insert second EMT conduit section into opposite end of coupling
5. Tighten compression nuts using appropriate wrenches to manufacturer specifications
6. Verify secure connection and proper grounding continuity through coupling

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and distribution centers
• Conduit Extensions - Joining EMT sections for longer conduit runs in electrical systems
• Equipment Connections - Connecting conduit to electrical panels, motor control centers, and switchgear
• Renovation Projects - Extending existing EMT conduit systems during facility upgrades
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
• Maintenance Applications - Replacing damaged conduit sections in existing electrical systems
• New Construction - Primary electrical distribution systems in commercial and industrial projects

EMT Compression Coupling System Benefits

EMT compression couplings provide superior connection reliability compared to set screw alternatives by distributing clamping force evenly around the conduit circumference. This compression design eliminates potential weak points that can develop with point-contact set screw connections, ensuring consistent electrical continuity and mechanical strength. The compression mechanism also accommodates slight variations in conduit diameter while maintaining secure connection integrity.

Why Choose Zinc Plated Steel Construction?

Zinc plated steel construction offers the ideal balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness for EMT conduit applications. The zinc plating provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion while maintaining the structural integrity of steel construction. This material combination ensures long-term reliability in both indoor and outdoor electrical installations, making it the preferred choice of electrical contractors for professional-grade conduit systems.
