FAQs

655RED is an EMT straight compression connector designed for 2-inch trade size EMT conduit. It fits non-insulated, steel fittings and uses a threadless compression mechanism for a fast, reliable seal. This compatibility makes it suitable for standard building conduit runs in commercial and light-industrial environments.
The threadless design eliminates the need for threading, reducing the risk of cross-threading and misalignment. This translates to faster installations, fewer rework items, and less tool wear, which collectively lower labor costs on medium to large electrical builds and maintenance projects.
655RED is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per its specifications. It is not intended for hazardous or outdoor locations unless additional protective enclosures or alternate fittings are specified. For harsher environments, select fittings with corresponding IP/HAZLOC ratings and manufacturer guidance.
The connector aligns with NEC/CEC standards and carries UL certification for EMT fittings, providing regulatory confidence. These certifications support safe, compliant terminations in commercial and light-industrial installations, aiding inspection readiness and long-term reliability.
The 655RED offers durable steel construction, a secure threadless connection, and faster installation, which reduces labor time and rework. Its standardized 2" EMT fit simplifies stocking and replacement, while NEC/CEC and UL certifications minimize compliance risk, delivering predictable maintenance costs and improved project ROI.
