Eaton 659 EMT Compression Connector - NEC/CEC
Part Number: 659
Quick Summary
The Eaton 659 EMT compression connector provides straight, non-insulated EMT termination for steel conduit in industrial installations. Installers often grapple with misalignments, stripped threads, or lengthy fastening steps that slow commissioning. This straight, compression design aligns with NEC/CEC requirements and UL certifications for Canada, while the 4-inch trade size suits standard EMT runs. Used with Crouse-Hinds series fittings, it delivers reliable mechanical contact, faster install times, and ongoing compliance across industrial wiring projects. Its steel construction and threadless compression minimize corrosion risk and simplify inventory management for maintenance teams. In field conditions, the 5.8 in length, 6.5 in height, and 4.3 in width provide ample reach while keeping the assembly compact.

Feature: Straight compression design provides a solid, threadless grip for EMT terminations. Business impact: Faster installs and reduced alignment errors translate to shorter commissioning cycles in production environments. Application: Ideal for 4-inch EMT runs and straight line terminations in switchgear rooms and motor control centers. Feature: Steel construction offers high strength and corrosion resistance. Business impact: Longer service life lowers replacement costs in dirty or humid environments. Application: Suitable for factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and harsh industrial settings. Feature: Non-insulated, threadless design reduces snag risk and simplifies stock management. Business impact: Quicker field handling and easier component replacement. Application: Beneficial in cleanroom adjacencies and high-traffic installations. Feature: 4-inch trade size compatibility. Business impact: Aligns with standard EMT fittings and minimizes adaptation costs. Application: Common in feeders, branch circuits, and mechanical rooms. Feature: Compliance and certifications. Business impact: NEC/CEC alignment; UL Canada certification; appropriate area classification for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Application: Provides regulatory confidence for cross-border projects. Feature: Documentation availability. Business impact: CAD drawings and spec sheets accelerate design reviews and procurement. Application: Useful in BOM creation and vendor audits for industrial projects.

FAQs
To install the Eaton 659, cut the EMT to length, align the conduit with the straight connector, insert the tubing into the compression fitting, and compress securely using the appropriate tool. Ensure clean cuts and square mating surfaces, then verify the fit with a pull test. Refer to the Eaton specification sheet for torque and compression guidelines to ensure a compliant, leak-free connection.
Catalog number is 659. It supports EMT conduit, is a straight, compression-type, non-insulated connector in a 4-inch trade size. Dimensions approximate 5.8 in length, 6.5 in height, and 4.3 in width with a product weight around 3.6 lb. UPC is 784564106599, and it complies with NEC/CEC standards with ordinary/non-hazardous area classification; UL certification data for Canada is available.
Yes. The 659 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is classified for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This makes it suitable for typical industrial and commercial installations where non-hazardous environments prevail, providing regulatory alignment and consistent performance across North American projects.
A threadless, compression design minimizes misalignment during installation, speeds up terminations, and reduces the risk of cross-threading. It also simplifies inventory management by eliminating threaded variants and provides a strong, corrosion-resistant steel connection ideal for busy manufacturing facilities and outdoor enclosures.
Eaton provides multiple downloadable resources for the 659: a 3D CAD drawing package, the EMT catalog page for Crouse-Hinds series connectors and couplings, Canadian certification records, and the Eaton specification sheet. These assets support design reviews, BOM creation, and cross-border compliance checks.
