Overview
The EMT Compression Coupling - Steel with Zinc Plated 2” is a high-quality fitting designed to connect two sections of 2-inch Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) conduit. EMT conduit, known for its lightweight and thin-walled steel construction, is widely used to protect and route electrical wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial installations. This compression coupling provides a strong, secure connection between sections of EMT conduit, ensuring both mechanical stability and grounding continuity. Made of steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of environments.
Description
The EMT Compression Coupling 2” is designed for use with 2-inch EMT conduit, which has an outer diameter of approximately 2.375 inches. The coupling features a compression nut and compression ring system that securely joins two EMT conduit sections, providing a tight and stable connection that resists loosening over time. The steel construction ensures strength and durability, while the zinc-plated finish offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion. Additionally, this coupling helps maintain grounding continuity, which is essential for the safe operation of electrical systems.
