Eaton 653RT Raintight Connector for EMT - NEC/CEC
Part Number: 653RT
Quick Summary
The Eaton 653RT raintight compression connector provides secure EMT terminations for weatherproof electrical runs in industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle with moisture ingress, misalignment, and time-consuming field assembly that delays projects. This connector aligns with NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications, enabling safe use in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Its straight, non-insulated, threadless design delivers quick installs, reliable seals, and robust mechanical strength for demanding environments. By simplifying conduit connections and reducing rework, it translates into lower labor costs and faster project completion. Suitable for outdoor installations and harsh environments where rain, dust, and temperature variation challenge connectors. Its 1-1/4 inch trade size supports common panel and conduit layouts.
