Technical Specifications

This 1/2" trade size EMT compression coupling features zinc plated steel construction for superior corrosion resistance and durability. The compression-type connection mechanism provides secure conduit joining without the need for threading. Compact dimensions of 1.63" length x 1.13" width x 1.13" height with a lightweight 0.12 lb design make installation efficient while maintaining professional-grade strength. Complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is specifically engineered for EMT conduit systems.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and debris from conduit ends using reaming tools
3. Slide compression coupling onto first conduit end until fully seated
4. Insert second conduit end into opposite side of coupling
5. Tighten compression screws evenly to manufacturer specifications
6. Verify secure connection and proper alignment of both conduit sections

• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, electrical panels, and distribution equipment
• Conduit Extensions - Joining EMT runs for longer circuit paths
• Repair Applications - Replacing damaged conduit sections without complete rewiring
• Municipal Projects - Schools, government buildings, and public infrastructure
• Agricultural Systems - Barn wiring, irrigation controls, and farm equipment connections

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression couplings offer significant advantages over threaded connections, including faster installation, no need for threading equipment, and superior vibration resistance. The compression design creates a mechanical connection that maintains electrical continuity while allowing for slight conduit movement due to thermal expansion. This makes them ideal for applications where conduit runs may experience temperature variations or minor structural movement.

Why Choose Zinc Plated Steel Construction?

Zinc plated steel provides the perfect balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness for EMT compression couplings. The zinc coating creates a sacrificial barrier that protects the underlying steel from corrosion, while maintaining the mechanical strength required for secure conduit connections. This construction method ensures reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor applications, making it the preferred choice of electrical contractors for professional installations.
