Eaton 655ORANGE EMT Connector - Orange Threadless
Part Number: 655ORANGE
Quick Summary
Eaton 655ORANGE EMT compression connector is used to join EMT conduits securely in commercial electrical installations. This design helps eliminate loose, unreliable joints that can drift or require rework, saving maintenance time and reducing field failures. It is built for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, ensuring code-conforming installs. The unit is non-insulated steel with a threadless, straight configuration, tailored for fast, tool-free engagement in tight panels. Certifications include UL Canada listings and multiple certification reports, supporting compliance in mixed North American electrical environments. For system integrators, this connector pairs with Crouse-Hinds EMT fittings to improve install uptime, reliability, and overall project lifecycle cost, while offering robust mechanical protection and corrosion resistance.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The compression design provides a secure mechanical bond that resists loosening in vibration-prone enclosures, reducing maintenance cycles and post-install adjustments. This translates to fewer field callbacks and safer, more reliable power distribution in commercial spaces and light industrial facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Threadless, straight configuration enables faster, tool-free installation without threading, speeding panel assembly and allowing electricians to complete runs with consistent torque and contact pressure. This approach improves installation consistency across multiple panels and supports high-volume construction projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-insulated steel body with orange color enhances durability and visibility, aiding inspection and corrective actions during commissioning and maintenance in crowded panels. This reduces rework and improves first-pass inspections in NEC/CEC-compliant installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 2" trade size and compatibility with Crouse-Hinds EMT fittings provide scalable solutions for a range of conduit runs, from service panels to motor control centers, helping contractors standardize parts and simplify BOMs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Canada certification and Canadian and US NEC/CEC compliance minimize regulatory risk, streamline approvals, and support cross-border projects and procurement of standard, widely available components.

FAQs
Use with EMT conduits in straight runs. The threadless, compression design allows quick, tool-free engagement once the conduit is aligned. Ensure clean, burr-free conduit ends and tighten to the specified torque per Eaton guidelines. The non-insulated steel body and orange color aid rapid inspection and identification in commercial panel installations, improving installation speed and reducing rework.
Yes. This connector is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards for EMT fittings and is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. It is listed with UL Canada certifications and comes with certification documents supporting code compliance in Canada and the United States. When used with compatible EMT fittings, it contributes to a code-compliant, durable distribution system with reliable grounding paths and mechanical protection.
Threadless compression connectors eliminate the need to chase threads into a fitting, speeding up field installations. Once the EMT is cut square, the clamp compresses around it to create a watertight, mechanically robust bond. This approach reduces torque variation and caregiver errors, improves consistency across panels, and complements fast-paced assembly lines in commercial and light-industrial builds.
Orange-colored EMT connectors provide immediate visual identification useful in panel layouts and maintenance. The 655ORANGE fits standard 2" EMT runs in commercial and light-industrial projects, particularly where color-coding aids wiring schematics or safety practices. Its compatibility with Crouse-Hinds series fittings supports scalable installations from small service panels to 3-phase motor controls.
Official documentation for 655ORANGE includes 3D CAD drawings, the EMT catalog page, Canadian UL certification reports, and the Eaton specification sheet. These resources confirm material, dimensions, and compliance with NEC/CEC and area classifications for ordinary locations. Access to the specification sheet (655ORANGE.pdf) streamlines procurement and ensures accurate BOM integration. In addition, 3D drawing packages assist integration with CAD/BIM workflows.
