Eaton 650RT Raintight Compression Connector - NEC/CEC
Part Number: 650RT
Quick Summary
650RT is a raintight compression connector for EMT conduit, designed for industrial electrical enclosures and control panels. Field installers often battle moisture ingress and time-consuming crimping in damp or non-hazardous environments. It meets NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications, with a clear Crouse-Hinds lineage that engineers trust for predictable performance. By combining robust steel construction with a compact footprint and a threadless, non-insulated interface, it speeds installs and reduces maintenance costs. Designed for ordinary locations, it complements broader wiring and connectivity strategies in machinery and panel building. Leveraging NEC/CEC compliance and a catalog-backed specification sheet, it supports fast procurement and consistent installation practices across projects.

FAQs
Installation begins by preparing the EMT conduit for a compression fit, aligning the straight connector with the conduit, and tightening the compression nut to create a weather-resistant seal. The threadless design avoids potential thread damage, while the non-insulated interface simplifies sealing. Verify the connection is tight and inspect for any gaps that could allow moisture ingress. Proper torque per Eaton’s specification sheet ensures consistent performance across installations.
The 650RT is a straight, compression-style connector for EMT conduit with a 1/2" trade size. It is made from steel, is non-insulated, and features a threadless interface designed for raintight performance. It is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, with UL certification documentation available for verification.
650RT is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and provides raintight performance suitable for damp environments. While it offers moisture protection, it is not specified for hazardous or outdoor wet locations without additional enclosure or protection. For outdoor or extreme conditions, verify site requirements and consider supplemental enclosure sealing where needed.
The 650RT supports NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for EMT raintight fittings. Eaton provides specification sheets and UL listing references that demonstrate conformance, along with a catalog page for cross-reference. This helps streamline regulatory approvals and procurement across code-compliant wiring projects.
Using the 650RT minimizes moisture-related degradation and reduces maintenance cycles due to its raintight, threadless compression design. The durable steel construction and compact form factor save panel space and expedite installation, contributing to lower labor costs and faster project completion without compromising code compliance or reliability.
