Overview

The ABB TC118A Compression Connector (SKU: TC118A) is a zinc-plated steel fitting engineered for 3-inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit systems. Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, this concrete-tight connector ensures a secure, moisture-resistant seal critical for electrical continuity and system integrity. The compression design provides a tight fit that prevents moisture, debris, and contaminants from entering the conduit while resisting concrete intrusion during poured-in-place installations. With a threaded entry size of 3 inches (3-8 NPSM), the TC118A integrates seamlessly into electrical enclosures, knockout openings, and threaded entries. The included locknut simplifies installation, while the zinc-plated steel construction delivers corrosion resistance and durability for demanding environments. E-16592 and CSA File No. LR-12798 standards. Ideal for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and outdoor installations, the TC118A reduces labor time by eliminating the need for additional sealing compounds in wet or concrete-encased applications. Its robust design ensures long-term reliability in critical electrical systems, making it a trusted choice for electrical contractors and maintenance teams.
