Eaton 659RT Raintight Compression Connector - EMT
Part Number: 659RT
Quick Summary
Raintight compression connector provides secure EMT terminations for rugged outdoor electrical installations. Engineers often battle moisture ingress, corrosion, and slow installation with traditional fittings. This product carries UL certification for EMT fittings, NEC/CEC compliance, and ordinary/non-hazardous location suitability. In practice, 659RT speeds terminations and reduces maintenance while delivering robust steel, 4 inch, threadless reliability. This combination supports faster, compliant installations across industrial facilities with damp or outdoor exposure.

FAQs
Yes. The 659RT is designed for EMT conduit, straight, threadless installation. It aligns with standard industry practices, supports 4 inch trade size terminations, and integrates with existing EMT fittings without special adapters, simplifying retrofits and new builds alike.
The product features raintight design suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, providing a moisture-resistance seal at the compression junction. In practice, this reduces water ingress, corrosion risks, and maintenance costs over the equipment’s life, especially in outdoor enclosures or damp indoor areas.
Ideal for outdoor enclosures, wash-down areas, and facility exteriors where EMT runs must resist moisture. Its straight, compression design supports quick terminations in long conduit runs, improving installation speed while maintaining mechanical and electrical integrity in manufacturing plants and process sites.
The 659RT supports NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for EMT fittings, with suitability for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This ensures regulatory compliance for both US and Canadian installations, reducing risk during inspections and simplifying cross-border project approvals.
By reducing installation time with a threadless, straight compression design and delivering reliable raintight seals, the 659RT lowers labor costs and downstream maintenance. Durable steel construction minimizes replacement needs, supporting longer service life and predictable performance in demanding industrial environments.
