Feature → Business Impact → Application: Straight EMT compression connector delivers a secure, threadless connection that reduces assembly time and minimizes misalignment. Benefit: Faster installs and fewer call-backs due to loose terminations, improving project timelines in manufacturing lines and data centers. Application: Ideal for straight runs of EMT conduit where quick, reliable terminations are required in control panels and overhead conduit routes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Made from steel and finished in black, it provides durable mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for years of service. Benefit: Lower maintenance costs and longer service life in harsh industrial environments. Application: Suitable for factory floors and outdoor-rated non-hazardous locations with ordinary area classifications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 2" trade size with a 2.03" depth and 2.94" width/height enables compact routing in confined spaces. Benefit: Allows tighter conduit layouts and reduced enclosure footprint, enhancing cabinet density and system organization. Application: Used in OEM equipment, packaging lines, and process automation where EMT fittings must fit small enclosures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance ensures code-conforming installations. Benefit: Improves audit readiness and reduces risk of non-compliance penalties. Application: Electrical installations across commercial/industrial facilities that demand verified standards.

FAQs
The 655BLACK is designed for EMT conduit with a 2 inch trade size. It is a straight, compression-type connector that secures EMT runs quickly without threading. Its threadless design minimizes misalignment during installation, which is especially valuable in crowded control panels and ceiling-mounted conduit paths.
This connector is configured for NEC/CEC standards and is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. It does not carry hazardous-location ratings, so it should be used in environments that fall under standard commercial and industrial classifications, ensuring compliance during audits and inspections.
Yes. Its straight, compression design plus a compact 2" trade size and 2.03" depth enables reliable termination in control panels and tight enclosures. The non-insulated steel body provides durable mechanical strength, while the threadless feature speeds up installation and reduces field errors.
Compression connectors like 655BLACK eliminate external threads, reducing alignment issues and installation time. The result is faster terminations, fewer misfits, and lower labor costs. In high-throughput manufacturing environments, these gains translate to shorter commissioning windows and more consistent electrical terminations.
