Eaton 1651RT Raintight Compression Connector - NEC/CEC

The raintight compression design delivers a weatherproof seal that dramatically limits moisture ingress and corrosion at EMT terminations. The business impact is fewer reseals and reduced downtime in outdoor or wet locations, translating to lower maintenance costs and greater equipment uptime. This is particularly valuable in manufacturing floors, outdoor enclosures, and rail or process plants where reliable fittings are critical. Designed for EMT conduit in a straight, threadless configuration, the 1651RT simplifies installation. With insulated steel construction, installers achieve secure terminations without complex threading, reducing tool requirements and on-site guesswork. The application sweet spot includes control panels, motor starters, and instrument enclosures where space is constrained and speed matters. The connector's robust build withstands factory floor vibrations and routine cleaning cycles. Trade size of 3/4 inch aligns with common conduits, while the compact dimensions (3.24 in length, 1.03 in height, 1.17 in width) optimize enclosure planning and spare conduit run space. Its lightweight 0.17 lb weight minimizes handling during field terminations and reduces fatigue on installers. The design supports modular installations in multi-connector assemblies, enabling quicker cascaded terminations along rows of equipment. UL certifications for EMT fittings in both the United States and Canada, together with NEC/CEC compliance for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, simplify regulatory approvals and QA sign-offs. This dual certification approach reduces the need for alternate fittings and accelerates procurement cycles, especially on time-sensitive builds. In continuous process environments, reliable certification reduces risk and helps auditors trace compliance for electrical installations. Compatibility with Eaton/Crouse-Hinds product families and standard EMT fittings ensures seamless integration into existing wiring and connectivity schemes. The 1651RT also benefits from a robust catalog presence and datasheets, aiding procurement, stocking, and field referencing during installations. For teams seeking enduring, weatherproof terminations with proven field performance, this connector delivers predictable outcomes across industrial facilities.
