Set screw squeeze provides a secure grip on EMT conduits. This design minimizes loosening under vibration and movement, improving long-term reliability in hot, dusty, or demanding environments. It is well suited for 1/2 in EMT runs in service bays, control panels, and small enclosures. Zinc die-cast construction offers robust corrosion resistance. The durable housing withstands daily wear, reducing replacement cycles and lifecycle costs in industrial settings. Applications include manufacturing floors, warehouses, and facilities with typical non-hazardous areas. Combination style reduces parts count by integrating coupling and grip into a single fitting. Fewer components translate to faster field installs and less inventory to manage, helping keep project schedules on track. The FECS50DC is ideal for new builds and retrofit work where space is tight. Compact dimensions and modest weight simplify handling and alignment during installation. At 3.33 in length, 0.88 in height, 0.94 in width, and 0.22 lb, it fits neatly in crowded conduits and tight electrical rooms. This improves installation accuracy and reduces labor time. Compliance and certification are built in with NEC/CEC standards and UL-listed EMT fittings. The rating for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations makes it suitable for most commercial and light industrial spaces, reducing regulatory risk. These attributes help with QA approvals and project documentation. Compatibility with standard EMT fittings and the Crouse-Hinds family simplifies procurement and stocking. Documentation is readily available via the catalog page and specification sheet, supporting quick quoting and on-site reference. In practice, engineers report lower installation variability and predictable performance across shifts.

FAQs

To install FECS50DC, align the coupling with the EMT conduit ends, insert fully, and tighten the set screws securely with a standard screwdriver until snug. Verify that the conduit is seated and the grip is uniform around the sheath to prevent loosening under vibration. For retrofit work in tight spaces, ensure the conduit is clean and free of burrs before assembly.
FECS50DC complies with NEC/CEC standards and is UL-listed for EMT fittings. It is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, providing code-compliant performance for commercial and light industrial environments. These certifications help streamline approvals and inspections while reducing project risk.
Yes. The FECS50DC is designed for 1/2 in EMT runs with a set screw squeeze connection. Its zinc die-cast body and secure grip are optimized for commercial and light industrial installations, delivering reliable terminations in spaces such as control panels, utility rooms, and manufacturing floors.
Refer to NEC/CEC compliance for general electrical installations and UL certification for EMT fittings. Also note the Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location rating which supports code-compliant use in typical non-hazardous environments. These certifications simplify procurement, QA, and field inspections.
The zinc die-cast construction offers superior corrosion resistance, extending service life and reducing replacement costs. The set screw squeeze improves reliability under vibration, decreasing maintenance downtime. Combined with a compact, lightweight profile, field labor costs are reduced and installation timelines shorten, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership.
