Weather-Sealed EMT Connections for Demanding Electrical Installations

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 1/2" EMT Raintight Compression Coupling is a professional-grade conduit fitting engineered for secure, weather-sealed EMT connections. This steel compression coupling delivers superior moisture protection and reliable performance for commercial and industrial electrical installations requiring raintight integrity.

Key Features & Benefits

Weather Protection Excellence

• Raintight Design - Engineered sealing system prevents moisture infiltration in outdoor and wet location installations
• Compression Connection - Creates secure, weatherproof seal without threading requirements
• Steel Construction - Provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for long-term reliability
• NEC/CEC Compliant - Meets code requirements for wet location electrical installations

Installation Efficiency

• No Threading Required - Compression design eliminates field threading, reducing installation time
• Positive Grip Action - Compression mechanism ensures secure conduit retention
• Compact Profile - Low-profile design minimizes space requirements in tight installations
• Professional Grade - Engineered for contractor use with consistent, reliable performance

Technical Specifications

This 1/2" trade size compression coupling is specifically designed for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) applications. The steel construction provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, while the raintight design ensures moisture protection in wet locations. The coupling measures 2.12" in length, 1.26" in width, and 1.03" in height, with a lightweight 0.14 lb construction that doesn't compromise on strength. NEC/CEC compliance ensures code-compliant installations in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Ensure EMT conduit ends are cut square and deburred for proper sealing
2. Insert first conduit end into coupling until it reaches the internal stop
3. Hand-tighten compression nut to begin engagement with conduit
4. Use appropriate wrench to fully tighten compression connection for raintight seal
5. Insert second conduit end and repeat compression process
6. Verify both connections are secure and properly sealed before energizing

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor Electrical Systems - Parking lot lighting, exterior building circuits, and landscape electrical
• Wet Location Installations - Car washes, food processing facilities, and industrial wash-down areas
• Commercial Buildings - Rooftop equipment connections, exterior signage, and HVAC electrical feeds
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing equipment connections, process control wiring, and machinery feeds
• Municipal Infrastructure - Street lighting, traffic control systems, and public facility electrical
• Agricultural Applications - Barn electrical systems, irrigation controls, and livestock facility wiring
• Marine Environments - Dock electrical systems, marina facilities, and waterfront installations
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, outdoor panels, and weatherproof enclosures

EMT Compression Coupling System Benefits

EMT compression couplings provide superior installation flexibility compared to threaded alternatives, eliminating the need for field threading while maintaining excellent mechanical and electrical continuity. The compression design creates a positive grip on the conduit that won't loosen over time, while the raintight sealing system ensures long-term moisture protection. This makes compression couplings ideal for applications where threading is impractical or where frequent modifications may be required.

Why Choose Raintight Protection?

Raintight compression couplings are essential for maintaining electrical system integrity in wet locations and outdoor installations. The engineered sealing system prevents moisture infiltration that can cause corrosion, ground faults, and system failures. With over 100 years of electrical innovation, Eaton Crouse-Hinds delivers the professional-grade quality and reliability that electrical contractors trust for critical weather-sealed connections.
