Technical Specifications

This connector accommodates 1/2" trade size EMT conduit with steel construction for maximum durability. The non-insulated throat design provides direct grounding continuity, while the straight configuration allows for efficient conduit routing. Compact dimensions of 0.88" width, 0.88" height, and 1.5" length minimize enclosure space requirements. At just 0.09 pounds, this lightweight connector reduces installation fatigue while maintaining professional-grade strength.

Installation Process

1. Select appropriate knockout size in electrical enclosure or box
2. Thread connector into knockout opening hand-tight
3. Insert EMT conduit fully into connector throat
4. Tighten set screws evenly to secure conduit connection
5. Verify grounding continuity through non-insulated throat contact
6. Complete final tightening of connector to enclosure

EMT System Benefits

EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) systems offer superior protection for electrical conductors while providing excellent grounding continuity. This set screw connector ensures reliable mechanical and electrical connection between EMT conduit and electrical enclosures, maintaining system integrity throughout the installation. The steel construction provides long-term durability that withstands thermal cycling and mechanical stress common in commercial and industrial environments.

Why Choose Non-Insulated Design?

The non-insulated throat design provides direct metal-to-metal contact between the EMT conduit and connector, ensuring superior grounding continuity required by electrical codes. This design eliminates potential grounding issues while providing the mechanical strength needed for professional electrical installations. Trusted by electrical contractors for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds connectors deliver the reliability and performance that electrical professionals demand.
