EMT Compression Connector 2"
The Conversions Tech EMT Compression Connector 2" is a fitting used to connect 2-inch Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) to electrical boxes, panels, or other conduit systems. EMT is a lightweight, thin-walled metal conduit commonly used to protect and route electrical wiring. The 2-inch size corresponds to an EMT conduit with an outer diameter of approximately 2.375 inches. The compression connector uses a compression nut and ring system to create a tight, secure, and grounded connection that is essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of electrical systems. Description The EMT Compression Connector 2" is designed to securely attach 2-inch EMT conduit to various electrical enclosures such as boxes, panels, or junctions. It employs a compression nut and compression ring to clamp down onto the conduit, providing a secure connection that resists loosening from vibrations, movement, or mechanical stress. The connector is available in materials like zinc-plated steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, or brass, each offering different properties such as corrosion resistance and durability. Additionally, the connector provides a grounding path when used with EMT conduit, which is essential for electrical safety. Specifications Type: Compression connector (for EMT conduit) Size: 2" (for 2-inch EMT conduit, with an outer diameter of approximately 2.375 inches) Material Options: Steel (typically zinc-plated or galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance) Aluminum (lightweight and corrosion-resistant) Brass (high-durability and premium options) Connection Type: Compression (compression nut and compression ring to securely fasten the EMT conduit) Voltage Rating: Rated up to 600V, suitable for most residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems Grounding: Provides grounding for the conduit system, preventing electrical faults or shocks Compliance: UL-listed and compliant with National Electrical Code (NEC) standards Finish: Zinc-plated or galvanized finishes for improved corrosion resistance, especially for outdoor or harsh environments Cases & Uses Electrical Installations: Used to securely connect 2-inch EMT conduit to electrical boxes, panels, or other conduit fittings, ensuring the safe and efficient routing of electrical wiring. Residential Wiring: Common in larger residential installations or areas where multiple circuits need to be housed in EMT conduit. Commercial and Industrial Applications: Often used in commercial and industrial facilities where large conduit runs are necessary for power distribution, heavy machinery, or equipment installations.
