Overview

The ABB TC717A-RT is a raintight, insulated compression connector engineered for 2-1/2 inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit systems. Constructed from high-grade zinc-plated steel, this connector delivers superior durability and corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications, including environments exposed to moisture and harsh weather conditions. The raintight design ensures protection against water ingress, maintaining electrical circuit integrity and preventing costly downtime. The insulated feature adds an extra layer of safety by preventing accidental contact and electrical shorts. The compression connection mechanism provides a tight, vibration-resistant fit, eliminating the risk of loose connections and ensuring long-term operational reliability. The TC717A-RT is part of ABB's Installation Products line, designed for efficiency, safety, and longevity in electrical projects. Its straightforward installation process and rugged construction make it a preferred choice for secure, weather-resistant conduit terminations. Typical applications include industrial plants, commercial buildings, outdoor lighting systems, and any scenario requiring dependable, moisture-resistant conduit connections. The connector's zinc-plated steel construction and gold gland nut design allow for easy visual inspection of conformance, reducing the need for close-up verification. This product is suitable for use with EMT conduit sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inches, with the TC717A-RT specifically designed for 2-1/2 inch applications.
