Technical Specifications

This 1-inch trade size EMT set screw coupling features zinc plated steel construction with compact dimensions of 2.31" length, 1.19" width, and 1.19" height, weighing just 0.23 pounds. The coupling is specifically designed for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit systems and complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. The set screw connection method provides secure mechanical and electrical continuity between conduit sections.

Installation Process

1. Ensure conduit ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to conductors
2. Insert first EMT conduit section fully into one end of the coupling
3. Insert second EMT conduit section into the opposite end until both conduits meet inside the coupling
4. Tighten set screws securely using appropriate screwdriver or hex key
5. Verify both conduit sections are firmly secured and cannot be pulled apart
6. Check that the coupling maintains proper alignment of the conduit run

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail stores, and shopping centers
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and processing facilities
• Institutional Projects - Schools, hospitals, and government buildings
• Conduit Extensions - Joining EMT sections for longer conduit runs
• Equipment Connections - Connecting conduit to electrical panels and junction boxes
• Renovation Projects - Extending existing EMT conduit systems
• Motor Control Centers - Conduit connections for industrial control systems
• Distribution Systems - Main electrical distribution and branch circuit wiring

EMT Coupling System Benefits

EMT set screw couplings provide the most reliable method for joining electrical metallic tubing sections, offering superior mechanical strength compared to compression-only connections. The set screw design creates a permanent connection that maintains both physical integrity and electrical continuity, essential for proper grounding and system safety. This coupling method is preferred by electrical contractors for its simplicity, reliability, and code compliance in commercial installations.

Why Choose Zinc Plated Steel Construction?

Zinc plated steel construction offers the ideal balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness for EMT coupling applications. The zinc plating provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion in typical building environments, while the steel core delivers the mechanical strength needed for secure conduit connections. This material combination ensures decades of reliable service in commercial and industrial electrical systems, backed by Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation and quality manufacturing.
