Technical Specifications

This 2-inch trade size EMT compression connector features steel construction with non-insulated throat design for maintaining electrical continuity. The straight connector configuration accommodates standard EMT conduit with compression-style connection that eliminates the need for conduit threading. Raintight rating makes it suitable for wet locations and outdoor installations. The connector meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and maintains the grounding path essential for electrical safety. Product dimensions are 5.49 inches length, 4.77 inches width, and 1.22 inches height, with a weight of 0.67 pounds for easy handling during installation.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and smooth conduit end to ensure proper sealing surface
3. Slide compression connector onto conduit end until fully seated
4. Thread connector into junction box, panel, or equipment enclosure
5. Tighten compression mechanism to manufacturer specifications for raintight seal
6. Verify secure mechanical connection and electrical continuity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor Electrical Systems - Weather-exposed conduit connections requiring moisture protection
• Commercial Buildings - Rooftop equipment connections, exterior lighting circuits, HVAC electrical feeds
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing environments with wash-down requirements or high humidity
• Municipal Infrastructure - Street lighting, traffic control systems, and public facility electrical systems
• Agricultural Applications - Barn electrical systems, irrigation controls, and outdoor equipment connections
• Parking Structures - Lighting circuits and electrical distribution in covered parking areas
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panels in wet locations
• Conduit Extensions - Joining EMT runs where raintight integrity must be maintained

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior performance compared to set screw alternatives by creating a mechanical compression fit that grips the entire conduit circumference. This design eliminates the potential for conduit damage from set screws while providing stronger pull-out resistance. The compression mechanism also creates the raintight seal essential for wet location applications, something standard EMT set screw connectors cannot achieve.

Why Choose Raintight Protection?

Raintight compression connectors are essential for any EMT installation exposed to moisture, whether from direct weather exposure or high-humidity environments. The Eaton Crouse-Hinds raintight design prevents water infiltration that can cause conductor corrosion, insulation breakdown, and electrical failures. This proactive approach to moisture protection extends system life, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures reliable electrical performance in challenging environmental conditions.
