Technical Specifications

This connector accommodates 3/4" trade size EMT conduit with steel construction for maximum durability. The non-insulated throat design maintains grounding continuity while the set screw mechanism provides secure retention. Measuring 1.55" in length, 0.95" in width and height, and weighing just 0.12 pounds, this connector offers a compact footprint for space-conscious installations. The red finish provides enhanced system identification capabilities for color-coded electrical systems.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and sharp edges from conduit end using reaming tool
3. Insert conduit fully into connector until it bottoms out against internal stop
4. Tighten set screws using appropriate screwdriver or hex key to secure connection
5. Verify conduit cannot be withdrawn by applying moderate pulling force
6. Thread connector into electrical enclosure, box, or equipment to complete installation

Applications

Perfect for:

• Emergency Power Systems - Fire alarm panels, emergency lighting circuits, exit sign feeds
• Critical Infrastructure - Hospital equipment, data center power distribution, security systems
• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail facilities, educational institutions
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, warehouse distribution
• Color-Coded Systems - Multi-voltage installations requiring circuit identification
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, distribution panels
• Renovation Projects - Electrical system upgrades, circuit additions, panel relocations
• Maintenance Applications - Replacement of worn connectors, system modifications

EMT Set Screw Connector System Benefits

Set screw connectors offer significant advantages over compression-type fittings in many applications. The mechanical set screw design provides consistent connection pressure regardless of installation torque variations, while the simpler installation process reduces labor time on large projects. The non-insulated throat design ensures reliable grounding continuity, eliminating the need for separate grounding conductors in many installations. This makes set screw connectors particularly valuable in commercial and industrial applications where grounding integrity is critical.

Why Choose Red Color Identification?

Red electrical fittings serve a crucial role in modern electrical installations by providing instant visual identification of critical circuits. Whether used for emergency power systems, fire alarm circuits, or high-voltage feeds, the red color coding helps electricians and facility managers quickly identify important electrical pathways during maintenance, troubleshooting, or emergency situations. This enhanced identification capability reduces service time, improves safety, and ensures compliance with facility management protocols that rely on color-coded electrical systems.
