Technical Specifications

This 4-inch trade size compression connector features steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The straight, non-insulated design maintains grounding continuity while providing raintight protection. Threadless compression connection accommodates standard EMT conduit with secure mechanical attachment. NEC/CEC compliant construction ensures code compliance for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Product dimensions measure 5.7 inches length, 4.4 inches width, and 6.5 inches height, with total weight of 3.6 pounds for substantial construction quality.

Installation Process

1. Verify EMT conduit end is cut square and deburred to ensure proper seating
2. Insert EMT conduit fully into connector body until it reaches the internal stop
3. Position connector at desired angle and location for optimal system layout
4. Apply proper torque to compression nuts using appropriate wrenches for secure connection
5. Verify raintight seal integrity by checking gasket compression around conduit
6. Test grounding continuity through non-insulated throat design per electrical codes

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor Electrical Systems - Rooftop equipment connections, exterior lighting circuits, and weatherproof installations
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy-duty electrical distribution systems
• Commercial Buildings - Large office complexes, retail centers, and institutional electrical infrastructure
• Municipal Projects - Schools, hospitals, government buildings requiring reliable weather protection
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and large electrical panel connections
• Wet Location Installations - Areas subject to moisture, condensation, or periodic water exposure
• High-Capacity Circuits - Main feeders, distribution panels, and large conductor bundle applications
• Concrete Pour Applications - Underground installations requiring moisture protection during construction

EMT Compression System Benefits

EMT compression connectors provide superior performance compared to set screw alternatives through positive mechanical connection and enhanced weather sealing. The compression design creates uniform pressure around the entire conduit circumference, ensuring reliable electrical continuity and preventing moisture infiltration. This technology eliminates the potential for loose connections that can develop with set screw fittings over time, making compression connectors the preferred choice for critical electrical installations requiring long-term reliability.

Why Choose Raintight Protection?

Raintight compression connectors represent the gold standard for outdoor and wet location electrical installations. The engineered gasket seal system prevents water infiltration that can cause conductor corrosion, insulation breakdown, and system failures. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation and steel construction quality, this 4-inch connector delivers the weather protection and mechanical strength demanded by electrical professionals for mission-critical installations.
