Technical Specifications

This connector features a 3/4" trade size designed for use with rigid steel conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) in straight-through applications. The malleable iron construction provides superior tensile strength and impact resistance compared to standard steel alternatives. The non-insulated throat design maintains electrical continuity for proper system grounding. Product dimensions are 1.56" width x 1.56" height x 1.69" length with a weight of 0.26 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 conductors
2. Insert conduit fully into connector until it reaches the internal stop
3. Position connector against enclosure knockout or hub opening
4. Tighten set screws evenly using appropriate screwdriver to secure conduit connection
5. Verify mechanical connection is secure by gently testing conduit movement
6. Complete enclosure connection according to manufacturer specifications and local codes

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial applications
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical distribution panels
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit runs requiring maximum durability
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, schools, and public facility electrical systems
• High-Vibration Environments - Applications where superior mechanical strength prevents connection failure
• Renovation Projects - Connecting new conduit runs to existing electrical enclosures
• Emergency Power Systems - Critical electrical infrastructure requiring maximum reliability

Set Screw Connector System Benefits

Set screw connectors offer significant advantages over compression-type fittings in many applications. They provide faster installation since no threading is required, reduce the risk of cross-threading damage, and create a positive mechanical connection that maintains integrity even under thermal cycling. The set screw design also allows for easier conduit removal during maintenance or system modifications, making them ideal for applications where future access may be required.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron provides superior strength and durability compared to standard steel connectors, making it the material of choice for demanding electrical applications. This advanced metallurgy offers excellent impact resistance, superior tensile strength, and enhanced resistance to cracking under stress. The result is a connector that delivers decades of reliable service in the most challenging commercial and industrial environments, backed by Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century-long reputation for electrical excellence.
