Overview

The ABB TC718US is a specialized compression connector designed for 3-inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit. Constructed from durable zinc-plated steel, this connector provides a secure and reliable termination point for electrical conduit systems. Its insulated design offers an added layer of protection, crucial for preventing electrical shorts and ensuring safety in various installations. The "concrete tight" rating signifies its suitability for direct burial or embedding within concrete structures, offering robust protection against moisture ingress and physical damage. This feature makes it an ideal choice for both underground and exposed applications where conduit integrity is paramount. The compression connection method ensures a strong mechanical bond, minimizing the risk of loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, the TC718US (SKU: TC718US) meets stringent industry requirements for conduit fittings. Its 3-inch size is specifically engineered for compatibility with standard EMT conduit of the same diameter. The overall length of 3.524 inches provides sufficient material for a secure compression fit. Trust ABB for dependable electrical connection solutions that enhance the longevity and safety of your electrical infrastructure.
