Technical Specifications

This 3/4" trade size compression connector is specifically designed for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit systems. The steel construction provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, while the non-insulated throat design ensures proper grounding continuity. The raintight compression seal meets stringent weather protection standards for wet location installations. Compact dimensions of 3.24" length x 1.19" width x 1.04" height with 0.17 lb weight make it ideal for space-constrained installations. The threadless design eliminates the need for conduit threading, reducing installation time and labor costs.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and smooth conduit ends with reaming tool
3. Slide compression connector onto conduit end until fully seated
4. Apply compression tool to connector body following manufacturer specifications
5. Compress connector evenly around conduit circumference
6. Verify secure connection by testing conduit retention and weather seal integrity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor Electrical Systems - Parking lot lighting, exterior building power, landscape electrical
• Wet Location Installations - Car washes, food processing facilities, outdoor equipment connections
• Commercial Buildings - Rooftop HVAC connections, exterior signage, security system wiring
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing equipment, process control systems, outdoor machinery connections
• Municipal Infrastructure - Street lighting, traffic control systems, public facility electrical
• Agricultural Applications - Barn electrical systems, irrigation controls, outdoor equipment power
• Marine Environments - Dock electrical systems, boat lift controls, waterfront facility power
• Pool and Spa Systems - Equipment connections requiring moisture protection

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior connection reliability compared to set screw alternatives, especially in applications subject to vibration or thermal cycling. The compression mechanism distributes clamping force evenly around the conduit circumference, preventing stress concentrations that can lead to connection failure. This even pressure distribution also ensures consistent electrical continuity and grounding performance throughout the system's service life.

Why Choose Raintight Protection?

Raintight compression connectors are essential for any electrical installation exposed to moisture, providing a critical barrier against water infiltration that can cause system failures, safety hazards, and costly repairs. The Eaton Crouse-Hinds raintight design combines proven compression technology with advanced sealing materials to deliver long-term weather protection that electrical professionals trust for their most demanding outdoor applications.
