The 1/2" Rigid Compression Coupling is a steel fitting engineered to join two sections of Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC), Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC), or Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) without threading. The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor electrical installations. This coupling establishes electrical continuity between conduit runs, supporting proper grounding paths per NEC requirements. Typical applications include commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and utility infrastructure where rigid conduit systems protect conductors and maintain ground integrity.

Cross-Reference
Equivalent in form and function to compression couplings offered by major fitting manufacturers. Used where Crouse-Hinds, Appleton, or other brand-name rigid compression couplings are specified, at lower cost with identical UL Listing compliance.
FAQ
Can this coupling be used with EMT and IMC, or only RMC?
The source indicates compatibility with RMC, IMC, and EMT. Always verify conduit outer diameters match the 1/2" coupling specification before installation.
Does the zinc plating satisfy code requirements for damp locations?
Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance. Verify specific location ratings (dry, damp, wet) against local code requirements and project specifications.
Is a separate grounding jumper required with this coupling?
The coupling provides electrical continuity for grounding per the source specifications. Consult NEC Article 250 and local amendments to determine if additional bonding jumpers are required for your specific installation.
