Eaton Specification Sheet - 655RT
Raintight compression design with straight configuration delivers robust moisture sealing for EMT conduit runs, reducing corrosion risk and maintenance needs in harsh environments. The business impact is clearer equipment uptime and lower lifecycle costs, achieved through a durable seal that resists water intrusion. In practice, installers benefit from a quick, tool-light compression process that keeps project schedules on track and minimizes the risk of cross-threading or misalignment. The threadless steel construction and non-insulated insulator streamline assembly, lowering labor hours and ensuring consistent electrical clearance across installations. The 2" trade size aligns with common conduit inventories, improving procurement efficiency and stock accounting. Dimensions—5.49 in length, 4.77 in width, 1.22 in height—and a weight of 0.67 lb aid budgeting for enclosures and supporting hardware. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards and UL listing provides confidence for both design reviews and field installation. The product’s ordinary/non-hazardous area rating supports safe use in typical industrial facilities, while its raintight feature keeps junctions protected from moisture without adding complexity to the install. Overall, the 655RT delivers a cost-effective, reliable path to compliant conduit protection in automation and manufacturing environments.
