Part number
658RED

Quick Summary

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds EMT compression connector securely joins EMT conduit for reliable, code-compliant electrical installations in industrial settings. Field installs often suffer from time-consuming terminations and misalignment; this straight, threadless design reduces rework with a fast, robust compression mechanism. It aligns with NEC/CEC standards, is approved for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, and carries UL Canadian certification for EMT fittings. The red, non-insulated steel body offers durable visibility and proven compatibility with Crouse-Hinds connectors, supporting faster procurement and consistent performance across projects. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to lower lifecycle costs, fewer field callbacks, and more predictable installation timelines.

Feature: Straight EMT compression connector features a red, non-insulated steel body with a threadless design. This design speeds terminations by eliminating threading and enabling quick alignment of the conduit and fitting. Application: Ideal for EMT conduit runs in control panels, machinery spaces, and other tight industrial installations where fast, reliable terminations are critical. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and UL Canada certification for EMT fittings ensure regulatory acceptance. This combination reduces approval cycles and mitigates compliance risk across multi-market projects. Application: Suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations in manufacturing plants, data centers, and commercial facilities requiring consistent code alignment. Feature: Steel construction delivers rugged durability in demanding environments. Business impact: Longer service life lowers replacement, maintenance, and downtime costs across the asset lifecycle. Application: Well-suited for factory floors, material-handling lines, and outdoor installations where vibration and impact are common. Feature: 3-1/2 inch trade size enables compatibility with larger EMT runs, while a straight, threadless compression design streamlines assembly. Business impact: Simplifies stock management and reduces tool requirements, cutting project lead times. Application: Suitable for feeder conduits and main distribution runs in control rooms and industrial spaces where robust terminations are needed. Feature: Red color coding and 3 lb weight aid installation speed and on-site identification. Business impact: Improves job-site efficiency and reduces misplacements during complex installations. Application: Effective in multi-fittings assemblies on factory floors, assembly lines, and outdoor installations.

FAQs

Prepare the EMT conduit ends by cleaning and deburring, insert the conduit into the 658RED connector, ensure proper engagement, and complete the compression with the appropriate tool or hand-tight method per Eaton's specification sheet. Verify alignment and conduct a pull test to confirm a secure termination. The straight, threadless design simplifies alignment in tight spaces.
Its straight, threadless compression design enables rapid terminations with strong, vibration-resistant joints. The steel construction provides durability in demanding environments, while NEC/CEC compliance and UL Canada certification support reliable code approval across markets, reducing downtime and rework in busy panel-install projects.
Yes. The 658RED is designed for use with EMT conduit and is compatible with the Crouse-Hinds EMT fitting family, ensuring consistent performance and straightforward replacement on multi-fitter installations across industrial facilities.
The connector meets NEC/CEC standards, carries UL Canada certification, and is approved for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. These certifications ensure regulatory compliance, market acceptance, and safe operation in typical industrial environments.
By enabling faster terminations, reducing misalignment, and lowering field rework, the 658RED lowers installation labor time and maintenance costs. Its durable steel construction minimizes replacement needs, contributing to lower lifecycle costs in long-running industrial deployments.
