• Corrosion-Resistant Finish - Factory-applied protective coating extends service life in demanding industrial environments

Professional Installation Features

• Set Screw Design - Eliminates threading requirements for faster installation and reduced labor costs
• Straight Configuration - Provides direct conduit-to-enclosure connections without angular adjustments
• 2" Trade Size - Accommodates large conductor bundles for high-capacity electrical distribution systems
• Universal Compatibility - Works with both rigid steel and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems

Code Compliance & Safety

• NEC/CEC Compliant - Meets all National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code requirements for commercial installations
• Ordinary Location Rated - Approved for standard commercial and industrial environments
• Professional Grade Standards - Engineered to exceed industry requirements for mechanical strength and electrical performance

Technical Specifications

This 2" trade size connector features malleable iron construction with non-insulated throat design for continuous grounding. The straight configuration provides direct conduit-to-enclosure connections with set screw attachment method. Compatible with both rigid steel conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. Dimensions measure 2.94" width x 2.94" height x 2.44" depth with 1.1 lb weight. Rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC standards with professional-grade construction suitable for commercial and industrial applications.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit end is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to connector threads
2. Thread connector onto conduit end by hand until finger-tight, ensuring proper thread engagement
3. Position connector at desired angle relative to enclosure knockout or hub
4. Tighten set screws evenly using appropriate wrench to secure conduit without over-torquing
5. Insert connector into enclosure knockout and secure with locknut from inside
6. Verify grounding continuity through non-insulated connection for code compliance

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities requiring reliable electrical distribution
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with heavy-duty electrical demands
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, public utilities, and transportation facilities
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Distribution Systems - Main electrical feeds, branch circuits, and sub-panel connections
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit runs requiring maximum durability
• High-Vibration Environments - Industrial settings where mechanical stress resistance is critical
• Code-Critical Projects - Installations requiring strict NEC/CEC compliance and inspection approval

Set Screw Connector System Benefits

Set screw connectors provide significant installation advantages over compression fittings by eliminating the need for threading conduit ends. This reduces field preparation time and ensures consistent connections regardless of conduit end condition. The set screw design also allows for easier conduit positioning during installation while maintaining secure mechanical and electrical connections once tightened.
