Overview

Designed to eliminate threading requirements, this coupling simplifies installation while ensuring a concrete-tight, vibration-resistant bond. The malleable iron construction delivers superior impact and corrosion resistance, ideal for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications where durability is critical. Key specifications include a 1/2" conduit size with dimensions of 1 13/32" (A) x 2" (B). The coupling features a hardened hex head cup point screw for high-quality bonding and a nylon insulated throat to prevent insulation damage and first thread issues. It meets UL 514B, CSA C22.2 No. 18, and NFPA 70 standards, with UL File No. E-23018 and CSA File No. 2884 listings. The product supports ground fault currents up to 10,000 amps RMS (1/2"–1 1/2" sizes) and 20,000 amps RMS (2" and above). Available with DURA-PLATE® finish for enhanced corrosion protection. Applications span manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects requiring reliable conduit pathways. The threadless design reduces labor time and tool requirements, making it a cost-effective solution for high-volume installations.
