Overview

The ABB Erickson Coupling, SKU 679, is a 1-1/2 inch malleable iron coupling designed for secure, rigid connections in electrical conduit systems using rigid or intermediate metal conduit (IMC). Engineered to couple threaded conduit ends where neither conduit length can be rotated, this coupling enables conduit runs to be completed or broken without dismantling the entire system. Its malleable iron construction with a steel and malleable iron ring delivers high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Key features include free-fitting threads for easy assembly, rigid in-line coupling that resists loosening under vibration, and suitability for concrete-tight applications. The coupling is rated to carry ground fault currents up to 10,000 amps RMS (for sizes ½" through 1½"), providing robust electrical continuity and grounding performance. The electro zinc-plated and chromate-coated finish enhances durability and corrosion resistance, meeting stringent industry standards. Ideal for power and control circuit installations, the 1-1/2 inch size is a common specification in many electrical systems. Its design allows for efficient installation and maintenance, reducing downtime in critical infrastructure. Compatible with rigid metal conduit and IMC, this coupling is a reliable choice for applications requiring durable, vibration-resistant conduit connections in harsh environments.
