Crouse-Hinds CRS-1455 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Crouse-Hinds connector work on rigid or IMC conduit?
No. It is an EMT fitting only. The set screw body grips thin-wall EMT on the outside; rigid and IMC are threaded and need a threaded coupling or a rigid-to-EMT compression or threadless fitting instead. Using it on rigid conduit will not give you a proper mechanical or grounding connection.
2) Can I use a set screw EMT connector in a wet or outdoor location?
No. This connector is rated for ordinary, non-hazardous locations, and set screw fittings are dry-location only. For wet, outdoor, or concrete-poured applications you need a raintight compression (gland nut) EMT connector. Keep the set screw version to indoor dry runs, exposed or in walls.
3) Is this an insulated throat connector so I don't need a separate bushing?
Yes, the throat is insulated as supplied. That protects conductor insulation as wire is pulled through the box entry, so you are not adding a plastic bushing at each termination. Insulated throat fittings are commonly specified for wire-pull protection on EMT runs.
4) Does the Crouse-Hinds 1450 series connector meet code for commercial and institutional jobs?
It is built to NEC and CEC standards for ordinary, non-hazardous locations, which covers typical commercial, office, retail, school, healthcare and municipal conduit work. Hazardous (classified) areas are a different fitting family entirely and this one should not be substituted there.
5) Is this connector steel or die-cast zinc?
Steel. For facility and industrial runs where fittings take knocks during and after install, steel bodies hold up better than die-cast; it is also the material most commercial specs call for on EMT raceway fittings.
6) What is a straight EMT connector used for versus a coupling?
A straight connector terminates an EMT run into a box, panel, or enclosure knockout, in line with no change of direction. A coupling joins two lengths of EMT to each other. If you are landing conduit on a junction box, the connector is what you want; if you are extending a run mid-span, order couplings instead.
7) Why does this EMT connector have two set screws instead of one?
The larger-grip design uses two tightening screws rather than a single screw, which spreads the clamping load on the EMT and resists the conduit pulling or rotating out of the fitting. On larger trade sizes and on vertical or supported runs that extra bite is what keeps the raceway continuous for grounding.
8) Can I standardize one EMT connector across a whole building's branch circuits and feeders?
Yes, across dry indoor runs. The same insulated steel set screw design runs from 1/2 inch for branch circuit work up to 4 inch for feeder and riser conduit, so an MRO stockroom can carry one family in a few sizes rather than mixing brands and styles. Outdoor, wet, or classified areas still need their own fittings.
