Eaton Crouse-Hinds RC300 316SS Rigid Conduit Coupling - NEC/CEC
Part Number: RC300 316SS
Quick Summary
RC300 316SS rigid conduit coupling provides a corrosion-resistant connection for stainless steel conduit in harsh industrial environments. Engineers often face corrosion, misalignment, and compliance gaps when joining rigid/IMC runs in demanding plants. This coupling leverages 316 stainless steel to withstand aggressive atmospheres while meeting NEC/CEC standards and ordinary/non-hazardous area classifications. The rugged construction reduces maintenance cycles and extends service life, delivering reliable performance in food processing, chemical handling, and general manufacturing facilities. By aligning with standard trade size of 3 inches and compatible with Eaton Crouse-Hinds RC300 parts, it also simplifies sourcing and installation, enabling faster project kickoffs and lower total cost of ownership.
