FAQs
What steps should I follow to install the 656GREEN EMT compression connector? Start by preparing the EMT conduit and gauge its fit, place the connector, and compress using a compatible tool until the conductor seats firmly. Verify alignment, secure with the proper clamps if required, and test continuity after installation to ensure a reliable, code-compliant connection.
Yes. The 656GREEN is designed for EMT conduit with a 2-1/2" trade size, offering a straight, compression, threadless connection that fits standard EMT runs commonly found in control panels and industrial wiring.
The connector is compliant with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It is UL-listed for EMT fittings, reinforcing safety and regulatory compliance for industrial installations and panel wiring.
The 656GREEN measures approximately 3.31 inches in length, with a width and height near 3.75 inches, and weighs about 1.9 pounds. These dimensions support planning for space and enclosure clearance in mid-size electrical installations.
The threadless compression design reduces installation time and cross-thread risk, which lowers labor costs and rework. Its steel construction and non-insulated profile simplify inventory, while NEC/CEC and UL listings help with faster approvals and ongoing compliance in non-hazardous environments.
