Thomas & Betts EMT Compression Connector, Zinc-Plated Steel

Thomas & Betts 5221 3/4" EMT Compression Connector, Zinc-Plated Steel

The Thomas & Betts 5221 is a 3/4" EMT compression connector engineered to join Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) conduit securely to boxes, panels, and enclosures. Built from steel and finished with a zinc-plated (EZINC) coating for added corrosion resistance, the 5221 uses a compression-style connection that compresses evenly around the conduit for a firm, dependable mechanical hold. Unlike a set-screw connector, the compression method helps provide a secure grip on the EMT conduit without relying on a screw that could work loose over time. It is a practical choice for electricians and contractors who need a reliable 3/4" EMT termination for commercial, industrial, and residential wiring projects.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 3/4" connector sized for use with 3/4" EMT conduit runs.
• Durable Steel Construction: A steel body provides the strength and rigidity needed to withstand everyday handling and installation on the jobsite.
• Compression-Style Connection: The compression design creates a tight, uniform grip around the EMT conduit, helping maintain a secure connection once installed.
• Connection Type: A compression-style connection method distinguishes the 5221 from set-screw connectors, providing a secure hold without a screw that could loosen over time.
• Zinc-Plated (EZINC) Finish: A zinc-plated finish helps protect the steel body against corrosion, supporting long-term performance across a range of installation environments.
• EMT Compatibility: Purpose-built for 3/4" EMT conduit, ensuring a proper fit and secure termination at boxes, panels, and enclosures.
• Straightforward Installation: The compression connector design allows installation with standard hand tools, helping streamline conduit terminations on the jobsite.
