Technical Specifications

This 2" trade size compression coupling accommodates standard EMT conduit with steel construction and zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The raintight design features compression sealing technology suitable for wet locations and outdoor installations. Dimensions measure 5.31" length x 4.68" width x 1.15" height with a weight of 0.79 pounds. The coupling meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and provides reliable electrical continuity for grounding systems.

Installation Process

1. Ensure conduit ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to sealing components
2. Slide compression nuts onto both conduit ends before inserting into coupling body
3. Insert conduit fully into coupling until it contacts the internal stop
4. Hand-tighten compression nuts, then use appropriate wrenches to achieve final compression
5. Tighten nuts evenly to compress sealing gaskets and create raintight seal
6. Verify proper sealing by checking that gasket material is evenly compressed around conduit

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor Electrical Systems - Parking lot lighting, exterior building power, outdoor equipment connections
• Wet Location Installations - Car washes, food processing facilities, outdoor industrial equipment
• Commercial Building Exteriors - HVAC equipment connections, rooftop installations, exterior lighting circuits
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, outdoor control panels
• Municipal Infrastructure - Street lighting, traffic control systems, outdoor communication equipment
• Agricultural Applications - Irrigation control systems, barn electrical, outdoor equipment power
• Marine Environments - Docks, marinas, waterfront facilities requiring moisture protection
• Underground Transitions - Conduit runs emerging from underground to above-ground installations

EMT Compression Coupling System Benefits

Compression couplings offer significant advantages over set screw alternatives in wet locations by providing superior sealing capabilities and more reliable connections. The compression mechanism creates uniform pressure around the entire conduit circumference, ensuring consistent electrical continuity and weather protection. This design eliminates the potential for loose connections that can occur with set screw fittings in vibration-prone environments, making compression couplings the preferred choice for outdoor and industrial applications where reliability is critical.

Why Choose Raintight Protection?

Raintight compression couplings provide essential moisture protection that standard fittings cannot match, preventing costly electrical failures and safety hazards in wet environments. The integrated sealing system protects sensitive electrical connections from water infiltration while maintaining the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of EMT conduit systems. This Crouse-Hinds coupling combines proven compression technology with weather-resistant materials to deliver the reliability that electrical professionals demand for critical outdoor installations.
