This malleable iron connector delivers exceptional strength and durability for rigid and IMC conduit systems, providing electrical contractors with a reliable solution that exceeds standard steel connector performance.

Key Features & Benefits

Superior Material Construction

• Malleable Iron Construction - Stronger than steel with superior impact resistance and dimensional stability
• Non-Insulated Design - Maintains electrical continuity and grounding path throughout the conduit system
• Precision Manufacturing - Consistent threading and tight tolerances ensure reliable connections every time
• Corrosion Resistant Finish - Protected surface treatment extends service life in challenging environments

Professional Installation Features

• Set Screw Design - Secure mechanical connection without threading conduit ends
• Straight Configuration - Direct in-line connection for efficient conduit runs
• 1-1/4" Trade Size - Perfect for medium-duty power distribution and control circuits
• Dual Compatibility - Works with both rigid steel and intermediate metal conduit (IMC)

Code Compliance & Safety

• NEC/CEC Compliant - Meets National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code requirements
• Professional Grade Rating - Suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations
• Grounding Continuity - Non-insulated design maintains equipment grounding conductor path

Technical Specifications

This connector features a 1-1/4" trade size with malleable iron construction in a straight, non-insulated configuration. The set screw design accommodates both rigid steel conduit and IMC applications. Product dimensions are 2.19" length x 2.19" width x 2.19" height with a weight of 0.5 pounds. The connector is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit end is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to connector threads
2. Insert conduit end fully into connector until it reaches the internal stop
3. Tighten set screws evenly using appropriate torque to secure conduit without over-tightening
4. Verify mechanical connection by gently testing conduit retention
5. Check electrical continuity across connection if required for grounding verification
6. Complete installation by connecting to electrical enclosure or next conduit section

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy-duty electrical systems
• Power Distribution Systems - Main electrical panels, sub-panels, and distribution equipment connections
• Motor Control Centers - Equipment connections requiring reliable conduit transitions
• Switchgear Applications - High-reliability connections for critical electrical infrastructure
• Municipal Projects - Government buildings, schools, and public infrastructure installations
• Equipment Connections - Machinery, HVAC systems, and industrial equipment wiring
• Conduit Extensions - Joining conduit sections in long runs or system modifications

Set Screw Connector System Benefits

Set screw connectors offer significant advantages over threaded connections by eliminating the need to thread conduit ends in the field. This reduces installation time, prevents conduit weakening from threading, and ensures consistent connection quality. The mechanical grip provided by set screws creates a secure, vibration-resistant connection that maintains integrity over decades of service.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron provides superior strength compared to standard steel connectors, with enhanced impact resistance and dimensional stability under thermal cycling. This premium material choice ensures long-term reliability in demanding applications while maintaining the electrical continuity essential for safe grounding systems. Trusted by electrical professionals for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds malleable iron connectors represent the gold standard for professional electrical installations.
