Overview

The ABB Installation Products 442-TB 1 Inch Tite Bite Combination Coupling is a malleable iron fitting engineered to provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection between armored cable or flexible metal conduit and threaded rigid conduit systems. This one-piece coupling features a double-grip Tite Bite wedge mechanism that bites into the armor or conduit to prevent pull-out, ensuring reliable electrical continuity and grounding integrity even under harsh industrial conditions. The 1-inch trade size accommodates standard armored cable and flexible metal conduit dimensions, making it compatible with common electrical components in machinery, control panels, and building wiring systems. Constructed from durable malleable iron, the 442-TB delivers long-lasting performance in demanding environments where vibration, strain, or mechanical stress are present. Installation requires only a standard wrench, eliminating the need for specialized tools and reducing labor time. The coupling's threaded end connects directly to rigid conduit systems, providing a seamless transition for wiring pathways. With a maximum cable opening of 1.468 inches and minimum of 1.250 inches, the 442-TB supports a wide range of cable and conduit sizes within its trade classification. This fitting is ideal for industrial plants, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects where armored cable or flexible metal conduit must terminate into a rigid conduit system while maintaining electrical safety and system integrity. The malleable iron construction ensures strength and durability, while the Tite Bite design guarantees a secure grip that resists disconnection under load. For applications requiring a robust, reliable coupling that meets industry standards for electrical conduit systems, the ABB 442-TB provides a proven solution with decades of field performance.
