Technical Specifications

This coupling accommodates 1/2" trade size EMT conduit with zinc plated steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance. The compact design measures 1.63" in length, 0.88" in width and height, with a lightweight 0.09 lb construction that won't add unnecessary weight to conduit runs. The set screw connection method ensures secure attachment while maintaining electrical continuity. Designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Ensure EMT conduit ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to coupling threads
2. Insert first EMT conduit section into one end of the coupling until it bottoms out
3. Tighten set screws on first end using appropriate screwdriver to secure conduit firmly
4. Insert second EMT conduit section into opposite end of coupling until it bottoms out
5. Tighten set screws on second end to complete the connection
6. Verify both conduit sections are securely held and properly aligned for system continuity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail stores, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouse electrical systems
• Conduit Extensions - Joining EMT conduit sections in long runs or system expansions
• Repair Applications - Replacing damaged conduit sections without rewiring entire runs
• Panel Connections - Connecting conduit runs to electrical panels and distribution equipment
• Equipment Wiring - Motor control centers, switchgear, and machinery electrical connections
• Municipal Projects - Schools, government buildings, and public infrastructure electrical systems
• Maintenance Work - Electrical system modifications and upgrades in existing facilities

EMT Conduit System Benefits

EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) systems with quality couplings like this Eaton Crouse-Hinds fitting provide superior protection for electrical conductors while maintaining system flexibility. The lightweight yet durable construction makes EMT ideal for exposed installations where appearance matters, while the set screw coupling design ensures connections remain secure even under vibration or thermal cycling common in commercial and industrial environments.

Why Choose Zinc Plated Steel Construction?

Zinc plated steel construction offers the perfect balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness for professional electrical installations. The zinc plating provides a protective barrier against moisture and environmental contaminants while maintaining the mechanical strength needed for secure conduit connections. This material choice ensures long-term reliability and reduces maintenance requirements, making it the preferred choice of electrical contractors for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
