Technical Specifications

This 1-1/4" trade size compression coupling is specifically designed for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit systems. The steel construction with zinc-plated finish provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining the mechanical strength required for commercial installations. The compression design creates a raintight seal suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations where moisture protection is critical. Product dimensions are 3.87" length x 2.57" width x 1.21" height with a weight of 0.49 pounds, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor electrical applications.

Installation Process

1. Cut EMT conduit to required length using appropriate cutting tools
2. Remove burrs and sharp edges from conduit ends using reaming tool
3. Slide compression coupling onto first conduit end until fully seated
4. Insert second conduit section into opposite end of coupling
5. Tighten compression nuts using appropriate wrenches to manufacturer specifications
6. Verify raintight seal is properly formed and conduit is securely connected

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor electrical installations - Parking lot lighting, exterior building circuits, landscape lighting systems
• Commercial building systems - Rooftop equipment connections, exterior wall-mounted electrical panels
• Industrial facilities - Manufacturing plant electrical distribution, processing equipment connections
• Municipal infrastructure - Street lighting systems, traffic signal installations, public facility electrical
• Agricultural applications - Barn electrical systems, irrigation control panels, outdoor equipment connections
• Wet location installations - Car wash facilities, food processing plants, outdoor equipment areas
• HVAC electrical connections - Outdoor unit wiring, rooftop equipment electrical feeds
• Security system installations - Outdoor camera feeds, perimeter lighting circuits, access control systems

EMT Compression Coupling System Benefits

EMT compression couplings offer significant advantages over threaded rigid couplings in applications requiring weather protection. The compression design eliminates the need for threading conduit, reducing installation time and labor costs. The raintight seal provides superior moisture protection compared to standard EMT couplings, making them ideal for outdoor installations where water infiltration could compromise electrical safety. The steel construction provides excellent mechanical strength while the zinc plating ensures long-term corrosion resistance in challenging environmental conditions.

Why Choose Raintight Protection?

Moisture infiltration is one of the leading causes of electrical system failures in outdoor installations. The Eaton Crouse-Hinds raintight compression coupling provides a critical barrier against water entry, protecting sensitive electrical connections and preventing costly system downtime. With over 100 years of electrical innovation, Crouse-Hinds compression couplings are trusted by electrical professionals for their reliability, ease of installation, and long-term performance in demanding environmental conditions.
