Eaton 1655RT Raintight Compression Connector - EMT
Part Number: 1655RT
Quick Summary
The Eaton 1655RT raintight compression connector secures EMT terminations in industrial conduit systems. This design addresses the persistent challenge of moisture intrusion, corrosion, and unreliable seals that commonly plague outdoor or damp facilities and lead to rework. It carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and UL certification for US and Canada, and it is suitable for ordinary and non-hazardous area classifications, ensuring safe integration in commercial buildings and manufacturing plants alike. The combination of a rugged steel body, a threadless compression mechanism, and a true raintight seal delivers durable terminations, reduces maintenance costs, and speeds field installs by simplifying alignment and tightening procedures. In practice, this connector translates to higher uptime, lower warranty risk, and easier sourcing across Eaton's Crouse-Hinds raintight family.

Raintight compression construction provides a dependable seal against moisture and dust, reducing field failures in outdoor enclosures and damp environments. Business impact: lower maintenance costs and fewer re-entries for resealing; Application: outdoor equipment rooms and exposed conduit runs. The straight, threadless design simplifies alignment and speeds installation, particularly in confined spaces. Business impact: faster panel builds and reduced labor hours; Application: manufacturing floors and service panels. Insulated steel body delivers durable insulation and corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments. Business impact: longer intervals between replacements; Application: industrial plants with washdown or high humidity. The 2-inch trade size ensures compatibility with common EMT layouts, while NEC/CEC compliance and UL listings support regulatory readiness. Business impact: smoother inspections and safer terminations; Application: regulated facilities and multi-vendor projects. Dimensional details (5.13 in length, 4.86 in width, 1.17 in height) and a weight of 0.67 lb aid in enclosure planning and mounting clearance. Business impact: accurate BOMs and predictable fit across installations.

FAQs
The 1655RT is designed for EMT conduit terminations in non-hazardous industrial settings. Its raintight, insulated steel body and straight compression design deliver a secure, water-resistant seal in outdoor or damp environments. The 2-inch trade size matches common conduit layouts, and the threadless connection simplifies alignment during installation. It pairs with Eaton Crouse-Hinds accessories for a complete fit.
The 1655RT meets NEC and CEC standards and carries UL certifications for EMT fittings used in both the United States and Canada. It supports Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classifications, making it suitable for general industrial facilities and commercial buildings where reliable sealing and regulatory compliance are required.
The compression, threadless design reduces torqueing and misalignment common with threaded fittings, while the raintight seal minimizes ingress paths. This combination lowers rework, speeds installations, and improves long-term reliability for panels, enclosures, and outdoor runs across manufacturing, processing, and infrastructure projects.
Verify 2-inch trade size, EMT conduit compatibility, straight connector style, insulated insulator, steel construction, and raintight feature. Confirm dimensions (5.13 in length, 1.17 in height, 4.86 in width) and weight (0.67 lb) for enclosure clearance and mounting. Cross-check UPC 784564004611 for inventory and NEC/CEC compliance requirements.
