Crouse-Hinds 160 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a Crouse-Hinds set screw coupling to join a piece of EMT to rigid conduit?
No. This coupling is sized and built for rigid metal conduit and IMC, and EMT has a different outside diameter at the same trade size, so the set screws will not clamp it properly. To transition between EMT and rigid you want a combination coupling made for that pair, not a straight rigid/IMC set screw coupling.
2) Should I use a set screw coupling or a threaded coupling on rigid conduit?
A set screw coupling joins two lengths of rigid or IMC without either end being threaded, which is what you want when you have cut conduit in the field and do not want to run a die on it. A threaded coupling needs both conduit ends threaded and is what you use where the raceway has to be made up wrench tight. Set screw fittings are for dry indoor locations; they are not a wet or hazardous location fitting.
3) What is the Crouse-Hinds part number for a 1/2 inch rigid/IMC set screw coupling?
The 1/2 inch size is Crouse-Hinds catalog number 160. Going up the range, 1-1/4 inch is 163, and the 1 inch, 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes are the 162, 164 and 165 respectively. If a distributor asks for the number rather than the size, those are the ones to quote.
4) Is a malleable iron set screw coupling better than a die cast one for an industrial conduit run?
Malleable iron is the tougher choice. It takes the set screw torque and the knocks of an industrial or mechanical room environment without the brittleness of zinc die cast, which is why this Crouse-Hinds coupling is specified for commercial and industrial raceway rather than light residential work. Same install either way, but the iron body is what holds up in a plant or a parking structure.
5) Do set screw couplings keep the conduit grounded, or do I need a separate bonding jumper?
The set screws bite into the conduit wall and maintain electrical continuity across the joint, so the raceway carries through the coupling. Where a run is used as an equipment grounding conductor and local practice or the inspector calls for supplemental bonding, add the jumper anyway. Continuity through the fitting and a code-required bonding means are two different questions on a job.
6) Can I mix trade sizes on one order for a conduit job?
Yes. The Crouse-Hinds rigid/IMC set screw coupling is ordered per trade size, so a job that runs 1/2 inch homeruns and 2 inch feeders takes the 160 for the small work and the 165 for the large, off the same product family and the same malleable iron body. Standardizing on one fitting line across a facility keeps the stockroom simple.
