Eaton 1654RT Raintight Compression Connector - EMT
Part Number: 1654RT
Quick Summary
Eaton 1654RT is a raintight compression connector designed for EMT conduit installations across industrial facilities. Field crews often contend with fittings that leak or loosen under moisture and vibration, driving rework and downtime. The 1654RT aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is listed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, with UL Canadian certification support. Its steel, insulated, threadless design delivers robust weatherproof performance while keeping a compact footprint. In practice, this means faster spur connections and fewer call-backs during inspections. For procurement and engineering teams, the combination of reliability, code compliance, and compatible EMT fittings translates to reduced installation time, lower maintenance costs, and safer, more durable electrical systems.

Feature: Raintight compression connector for EMT straight runs enhances weatherproof integrity in damp or dusty environments. Business Impact: Reduces moisture ingress and maintenance calls, improving system uptime. Application: Suitable for industrial facilities with exposed conduit runs where reliability is critical and inspections are frequent. Feature: 1-1/2 inch trade size, steel construction, insulated, threadless design. Business Impact: Delivers robust mechanical strength while simplifying assembly, cutting field labor and tightening torque concerns. Application: Ideal for mid-size to large equipment feeders and branch circuits in manufacturing plants. Feature: Straight, compression style connector. Business Impact: Streamlines installation in constrained spaces and minimizes misalignment risks, accelerating panel and conduit terminations. Application: Common in panel boards and junction boxes where EMT must run cleanly between cabinets. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance with Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location classification and UL Canadian certification. Business Impact: Ensures code-compliant installations across North America, reducing compliance risk and rework. Application: Useful for multinational facilities requiring consistent fittings in non-hazardous zones. Feature: Insulated, threadless design with corrosion-resistant steel and raintight features. Business Impact: Extends service life in adverse environments, lowers replacement intervals, and supports long-term maintenance planning. Application: Outdoor and indoor installations where weatherproofing is a priority, such as data centers, warehouses, and process areas.

FAQs
For EMT installations, ensure the conduit end is square and deburred, then slide the compression nut and ring onto the EMT. Insert the conduit into the 1654RT until fully seated, tighten the compression nut until snug, and verify a watertight seal. Check alignment and re-tighten if needed to maintain a raintight connection.
The 1654RT is designed for EMT conduit with a 1-1/2 inch trade size. It is a straight, compression-style connector that is insulated and threadless, suitable for standard EMT runs in non-hazardous locations.
No. The 1654RT is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with NEC/CEC requirements for non-hazardous environments and reducing the risk profile for typical industrial facilities.
The 1654RT complies with NEC/CEC standards and is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. UL Canadian certification support is provided, with catalog documentation and qualification pages confirming its North American applicability.
Using the 1654RT delivers faster, code-compliant installations with a reliable raintight seal, reducing field rework and maintenance costs.
