Crouse-Hinds 1650 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Crouse-Hinds 1650 compression connector work with rigid conduit or IMC, or only EMT?
EMT only. The Crouse-Hinds 1650 series is a compression connector built for electrical metallic tubing, and it is threadless, so there is no way to thread it onto rigid or IMC. Rigid and IMC terminate with threaded hubs or their own dedicated fittings. If the run on the drawing is EMT and the connection is a straight shot into a box or enclosure, this is the right family.
2) Can I use these EMT compression connectors in a concrete pour?
Yes, concrete-tight is a stated feature of the 1650 series, so the fitting can be encased in a slab or a poured wall without the pour working its way into the raceway. That is the specific reason to reach for a compression connector here instead of a set-screw connector, which is not concrete-tight.
3) Do I still need to add a plastic bushing to these connectors, or are they already insulated?
Already insulated. The 1650 series ships with the insulated throat built in, so there is no separate bushing to buy or install to protect conductor insulation as wire is pulled through. That is one less line item per termination on a big pull.
4) Set screw or compression connector for EMT going into a wet or below-grade location?
Compression, and the Crouse-Hinds 1650 series is that type. A compression connector squeezes a gland ring around the tubing for a tight mechanical grip, and this one is rated concrete tight. Set-screw connectors are the cheaper, faster choice for dry indoor work above ceilings, but they do not seal. If the fitting is going into a pour, a damp area, or anywhere debris and moisture can migrate into the raceway, use the compression version.
5) Are these Crouse-Hinds connectors approved for a hazardous or classified area?
No. The 1650 series is for ordinary, non-hazardous locations. Class I or Class II classified areas call for explosionproof fittings and sealing fittings, which are a completely different product family. For standard commercial and industrial spaces, panel and enclosure terminations, and concrete work, these are correct.
6) What EMT trade sizes do Crouse-Hinds compression connectors come in?
Ten trade sizes, 1/2 inch through 4 inch: 1/2 (1650), 3/4 (1651), 1 (1652), 1-1/4 (1653), 1-1/2 (1654), 2 (1655), 2-1/2 (1656), 3 (1657), 3-1/2 (1658) and 4 inch (1659). Order by the EMT trade size, which is the tubing size printed on the conduit, not the outside diameter you measure.
7) Are Crouse-Hinds 1650 EMT connectors steel or die-cast zinc?
Steel. Steel bodies hold up better to impact and to being stepped on or struck during a pour than die-cast fittings, which is why steel is often what a spec calls out for industrial and slab work. If the drawing says steel EMT compression connectors, the 1650 through 1659 range meets that.
8) Do these EMT connectors meet NEC code for an inspection?
The 1650 series is built to NEC/CEC standards, which covers work in both the US and Canada. What the inspector will still look at is the install: the tubing bottomed into the connector, the compression nut drawn up tight, and the right trade size matched to the tubing. Note the concrete-tight rating applies to the fitting itself, so encasing it in a pour is within its intended use.
9) I need to change direction right at the box. Will a straight EMT compression connector work?
No. The 1650 series is a straight connector, meaning it terminates EMT into an enclosure on the same axis as the conduit run. To turn at the enclosure you need either an offset or 90-degree connector, or a bend put in the EMT ahead of the fitting. For everything that comes in square to the box, straight is what you want.
10) How many pieces do I need to standardize a building on Crouse-Hinds EMT compression connectors?
For a facility standard, the practical answer is stocking the sizes your branch circuits and feeders actually use. The 1650 series runs the full 1/2 through 4 inch trade range under one part-number scheme, so 1/2 inch (1650) and 3/4 inch (1651) cover most branch work, 1 through 2 inch (1652 to 1655) covers feeders, and 2-1/2 through 4 inch (1656 to 1659) covers service and large distribution. One family, one connection method, one insulated throat across all of them keeps crews from mixing fitting types on the same job.
