FAQs
The 655YELLOW is designed for a 2 inch trade size EMT conduit and uses compression mounting rather than threaded hardware. Compatibility with standard EMT installation tools ensures quick, secure terminations. This reduces field adjustments and rework, while UL listings support cross-border compliance for US and Canada. Ideal for panel assemblies and control cabinets.
The compression, threadless design provides a robust mechanical grip on EMT conduit without the need for threaded fittings. This delivers rapid installations, consistent terminations, and excellent electrical contact. The steel construction adds durability, while the yellow color aids identification in multi-circuit or color-coded wiring schemes commonly found in industrial control panels.
This connector is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC and does not carry an outdoor IP rating in the provided data. For exterior or high-vibration environments, consider enclosure protection or additional securing methods and verify site requirements. Inside facilities such as panels and machine rooms, it provides reliable performance and ease of use.
The 655YELLOW supports NEC/CEC standards with an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location rating. UL certification is available for both US and Canada, facilitating compliant procurement across North American projects. This combination helps ensure regulatory compliance, safety, and reliability for typical industrial electrical installations using EMT fittings.
Benefits include reduced installation time due to a threadless compression method, fewer field adjustments, and improved traceability with a color-coded yellow finish. Steel construction enhances longevity, lowering replacement costs, while NEC/CEC and UL certifications reduce compliance risk. Overall, field teams can achieve faster builds with predictable performance and lower total cost of ownership.
