Technical Specifications

This 2-1/2" trade size compression coupling accommodates EMT conduit with precision-engineered steel construction and zinc-plated finish. The raintight design meets wet location requirements while maintaining NEC/CEC compliance for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Compact dimensions of 4.56" length × 3.34" width × 1.38" height with 1.87 lb weight provide robust performance without excessive bulk.

Installation Process

1. Verify EMT conduit ends are cut square and deburred completely
2. Slide compression coupling over first conduit end until fully seated
3. Insert second conduit end into opposite side of coupling
4. Tighten compression nuts evenly using appropriate wrenches
5. Verify raintight seal is properly compressed around both conduits
6. Test connection security before energizing system

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor electrical installations - Parking lot lighting, exterior building feeds
• Wet location applications - Car washes, food processing facilities
• Industrial facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing equipment connections
• Commercial buildings - Rooftop HVAC connections, exterior signage
• Municipal infrastructure - Street lighting, traffic control systems
• Agricultural installations - Barn electrical systems, irrigation controls
• Marine environments - Dock electrical systems, waterfront facilities
• Large conductor runs - High-amperage equipment connections

EMT Compression Coupling System Benefits

Compression couplings offer significant advantages over set screw alternatives in wet locations by providing superior sealing performance and eliminating potential water entry points. The compression design creates a mechanical seal that maintains integrity even under thermal cycling and vibration, making it ideal for outdoor installations where weather protection is critical.

Why Choose Raintight Protection?

Raintight compression couplings prevent moisture infiltration that can cause conductor corrosion, insulation breakdown, and system failures. This Eaton Crouse-Hinds coupling combines over 100 years of electrical innovation with modern sealing technology to deliver reliable performance in the most demanding weather conditions, ensuring your electrical installations maintain integrity for decades of service.
