Quick Summary

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 657DC EMT compression connector provides a reliable straight conduit termination for EMT installations in industrial facilities. In the field, installers frequently contend with fittings that loosen or corrode under demanding conditions, increasing maintenance and downtime. The 657DC uses a threadless, compression design in a zinc die-cast body to resist pullout and corrosion while delivering a secure seal. It complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries UL certification for EMT fittings in ordinary locations, helping you meet code requirements with confidence. For panel builders and integrators, pairing this connector with 3" EMT conduit delivers fast, repeatable terminations that reduce install time and lifecycle costs while maintaining rugged performance.

Compression, threadless design eliminates threaded hardware and reduces installation steps, enabling faster terminations with fewer parts and less risk of cross-threading or damage to the conduit. This configuration is ideal for straight EMT conduit terminations in control panels, enclosures, and distribution hubs, delivering measurable labor savings and streamlined field workflows. Zinc die cast body delivers durability and corrosion resistance in typical industrial environments, translating to longer service life and lower maintenance costs. The robust enclosure and finish support reliable performance in handling, vibration, and routine maintenance cycles, while simplifying procurement within the Eaton Crouse-Hinds ecosystem. Designed for straight EMT connections with a 3" trade size, the connector aligns with common installation footprints, reducing layout surprises in panel schedules. Its footprint—approximately 4 in width, 4.25 in length, and 2.75 in height—supports compact layouts and easier enclosure entries, improving cable routing and box fill calculations. Non-ins insulated design means no extra insulating inserts are required, speeding up terminations and reducing material costs. At about 1.2 lb, the unit provides a stable, manageable installation while minimizing added weight on panels and supports. Meets NEC/CEC standards and UL certification for EMT fittings in ordinary locations, giving engineers confidence in regulatory compliance and traceable quality. This compatibility protects against rework and accelerates project approval, particularly in regulated environments. Compatibility and installation efficiency are enhanced when used with other Eaton Crouse-Hinds EMT fittings, enabling standardized assemblies, reduced stocking needs, and predictable performance across control rooms, process lines, and equipment enclosures.

FAQs

The 657DC is designed for EMT conduit and provides a straight, compression-type termination. It accepts a 3 inch trade size and features a threadless connection with a zinc die-cast body, making it suitable for standard EMT installations in control panels, enclosures, and junction boxes.
Yes. The 657DC adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries UL certification for EMT fittings intended for ordinary locations, helping ensure regulatory compliance and reliable performance in non-hazardous environments.
Install by aligning the EMT conduit with the connector, then compress using the appropriate tool to secure the terminations. The threadless, compression design eliminates threaded hardware, reducing installation steps and potential cross-threading. Confirm proper seating and perform a final torque check per Eaton’s specification sheet.
Its zinc die-cast body provides durable corrosion resistance, while NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification verify suitability for ordinary locations. The non-insulated design and compression mechanism offer reliable, maintenance-friendly terminations in typical facility environments without exposed conductive parts.
Documentation is available through Eaton’s resources: the Crouse-Hinds EMT catalog page, UL certification reports, and the Eaton Specification Sheet for 657DC, which provide dimensions, material data, installation guidance, and code compliance details.
