Overview

The ABB 8820 3-inch malleable iron coupling is a durable, threadless conduit fitting designed for rigid steel (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) installations. Engineered for secure, long-term connections in industrial and commercial electrical systems, this coupling eliminates the need for threading while maintaining code-compliant joint integrity. Its malleable iron construction provides superior strength and corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh environments where mechanical stress and environmental exposure are common. The coupling’s internal design ensures a tight grip on conduit ends without deformation, reducing installation time by 30% compared to threaded alternatives. Compatible with standard 3-inch trade sizes, it meets NEC and UL requirements for conduit systems, making it a reliable choice for power distribution, lighting circuits, and motor control applications. The 8820 is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted brand in electrical infrastructure solutions.
