Eaton 1653RT Raintight Compression Connector - EMT
Part Number: 1653RT
Quick Summary
Eaton 1653RT raintight compression connector for EMT conduit terminations. This robust solution is designed to deliver secure, weather-resistant terminations in industrial settings. Installing in damp, high-vibration environments often leads to moisture ingress and field failures; 1653RT mitigates these risks with a raintight, steel body. The connector adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is UL-listed for Canadian certification, providing confidence across code jurisdictions. By pairing fast, tool-free installation with reliable sealing, it helps reduce commissioning time and maintenance costs. The 1-1/4" trade size, insulated construction, and compact form factor also simplify inventory management and installation logistics for engineering teams and installers alike.

FAQs
To install the 1653RT, ensure the EMT fits the 1-1/4" trade size and clean the mating surfaces. Insert the conduit into the connector, align the insulation, and tighten the compression mechanism until seated. Maintain a raintight seal by following Eaton's torque recommendations in the 1653RT datasheet and verify the installation with a simple moisture test after assembly.
Key specs include EMT conduit compatibility, straight connector style, threadless design, insulated steel construction, 1-1/4" trade size, 3.96" length, 1.13" height, 2.66" width, and a weight of 0.41 lb. The connector is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, aligning with NEC/CEC standards.
Yes. The 1653RT is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and supports NEC/CEC compliance. Its raintight design helps protect terminations from moisture and dust in standard indoor and outdoor installations, making it suitable for control panels, equipment enclosures, and general wiring runs in non-hazardous environments.
The 1653RT meets NEC/CEC standards and is UL-listed for Canada, reflecting compliance with regional electrical codes. Its raintight performance also aligns with industry expectations for moisture-resistant terminations in EMT conduit systems, helping facilities pass inspections and maintain reliable operation.
The raintight design reduces moisture-related issues, lowering field maintenance needs. Its quick, threadless compression enables faster installations, reducing labor costs. Durable steel construction extends service life in busy industrial environments, delivering lower replacement and downtime costs and improving overall return on investment for conduit terminations.
