nVent CADDY 812MATA Armour Spring Steel MATA Conduit-to-T-Grid Clip, 3/4" - 1/2" EMT

nVent CADDY 812MATA Armour Spring Steel MATA Conduit-to-T-Grid Clip, 3/4" - 1/2" EMT

The nVent CADDY 812MATA is an Armour spring steel MATA clip built to secure EMT conduit directly to a suspended ceiling T-grid, sized to mount 3/4" EMT conduit to 1/2" T-grid rail. Originally cataloged under the Erico name, this nVent CADDY fitting is now sold under the nVent CADDY brand and provides electricians with a fast, tool-minimal spring-steel connection for routing EMT conduit through grid-ceiling systems. The rugged spring steel construction is engineered to grip and hold conduit securely against the T-grid without loose hardware, helping crews keep overhead conduit runs neat, supported, and code-conscious in commercial and institutional ceiling spaces.

Key Features

• Trade Size: Sized for 3/4" EMT conduit connecting to 1/2" T-grid rail, matching common suspended-ceiling grid dimensions.
• Durable Construction: Armour spring steel body resists deformation and fatigue, maintaining spring tension for a secure long-term grip on both the conduit and the T-grid.
• MATA Clip Design: Purpose-built conduit-to-T-grid clip geometry lets the spring-steel arms wrap the EMT conduit while the opposing leg locks onto the T-grid rail.
• Quick, Tool-Minimal Installation: The spring-steel clip action allows installers to snap the clip onto the T-grid and conduit quickly, speeding up overhead rough-in work.
• Ceiling Grid Compatible: Engineered to interface with standard 1/2" suspended-ceiling T-grid rail found in drop-ceiling systems.
• Space-Saving Profile: Compact clip footprint keeps EMT conduit tight to the grid, preserving usable plenum space above the ceiling.

Why nVent CADDY?

nVent CADDY engineers the 812MATA from Armour spring steel to deliver a resilient, secure grip between EMT conduit and T-grid ceiling systems, a design carried forward from the original Erico product line into the current nVent CADDY portfolio. This spring-steel clip approach removes the need for separate fasteners at every conduit-to-grid connection, giving electrical contractors a dependable, repeatable way to support EMT conduit runs through suspended-ceiling installations on commercial and institutional projects.
