Overview
The Bridgeport 261-DC EMT coupling is a zinc die cast compression fitting engineered to join two lengths of 3/4″ steel or aluminum EMT conduit. Built to withstand harsh environments, this coupling meets UL 514B and CSA standards and maintains a concrete-tight, rain-tight seal suitable for indoor and outdoor electrical installations. Each box contains 25 units, ideal for bulk project needs.
Key Features
- Die Cast Zinc Construction — Meets same stringent UL tests as steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability
- Ball Burnished Mirror Smooth Finish — Reduces friction during installation and improves overall appearance
- Rain/Concrete Tight Seal — Suitable for use in damp locations, concrete-encased installations, and wet environments
- Compression Type — No special tools required; simple screw-down installation on both sides of conduit
- Box of 25 Units — Convenient bulk packaging for contractors and integrators
