Overview

The ABB Installation Products XJG24-EMT is a 3/4 Inch XJG Conduit Expansion Coupling designed for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit systems. This coupling provides a substantial 4 inches of movement, crucial for accommodating thermal expansion and contraction in long conduit runs, thereby preventing stress on the conduit and connected equipment. Its integrated internal bonding jumper ensures continuous electrical conductivity across the expansion joint, maintaining system grounding integrity even during significant movement. This feature is vital for safety and compliance in electrical installations where reliable grounding is paramount. Engineered by ABB, a recognized leader in electrical infrastructure, the XJG24-EMT offers a practical solution for managing the dynamic nature of electrical raceways. The 3/4 inch size is standard for many commercial and industrial applications, making it a versatile component. The internal bonding jumper simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate bonding jumpers across the expansion coupling, saving time and reducing potential points of failure. This product is ideal for use in environments where temperature fluctuations are common, such as outdoor installations, industrial facilities, and areas with significant HVAC system activity.

How to Install XJG-EMT Expansion Joints

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing XJG-EMT Expansion Joints with Electrical Metallic Tubing. These joints are used to accommodate longitudinal movement in conduit runs due to thermal expansion and contraction.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Pipe wrench

Supplies needed:

XJG-EMT Expansion Joint, Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)

  1. Insert Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)

    Insert the Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) into each end of the pre-assembled XJG-EMT Expansion Joint. The gland nut is partially tightened from the factory to facilitate easy insertion of the tubing.

  2. Tighten the Gland Nut

    Using a pipe wrench, tighten the gland nut at the end of the EMT connector. Refer to the Torque Chart for correct torque: 3/4” & Smaller: 90.4 N•m (800 lbl-in); 1”, 1-1/4”, & 1-1/2”: 113 N•m (1000 lbl-in); 2” & Larger: 181 N•m (1600 lbl-in). This action compresses the Teflon packing around the tubing, providing a rain-tight seal.

  3. Position the Internal Bushing

    Position the internal bushing in the middle of the expansion joint fitting. This ensures that the expansion joint can accommodate equal movement of the conduit in both directions, allowing for the full specified expansion and contraction range.
