The Southwire MEC-762.1R is a 1-inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) compression coupling. It's designed to connect two pieces of EMT conduit together, ensuring a secure and tight fit. This coupling is made from zinc die-cast material and is intended for indoor use only.

Features:

• Material: Zinc die-cast
• Size: 1 inch
• Type: Compression coupling
• Usage: Connects two pieces of EMT conduit
• Application: Indoor use only
• Compliance: UL listed for safety

Applications:

1. Commercial Buildings: Used in the electrical wiring of commercial buildings to ensure secure connections between conduit sections.
2. Industrial Settings: Ideal for industrial environments where robust and reliable conduit connections are necessary.
3. Residential Construction: Employed in residential electrical installations to maintain the integrity of the conduit system.
4. Indoor Electrical Systems: Specifically designed for indoor use, providing a concrete-tight connection that prevents moisture and other contaminants from entering the conduit

Installation:

1. Preparation:

   • Ensure the ends of the EMT conduit are clean and free from burrs.
   • Measure and cut the conduit to the desired length.

2. Assembly:

   • Slide the compression coupling onto one end of the EMT conduit.
   • Insert the other end of the conduit into the coupling.

3. Tightening:

   • Use a wrench to tighten the compression nuts on both sides of the coupling.
   • Ensure the connection is secure and concrete-tight.

4. Inspection:

   • Check the connection to ensure it is tight and there are no gaps.
   • Verify that the coupling is properly aligned with the conduit 

Tools Required:

1. Pipe Cutter or Hacksaw: To cut the EMT conduit to the desired length.
2. Deburring Tool: To remove any burrs from the cut ends of the conduit.
3. Wrench: To tighten the compression nuts on the coupling.
4. Tape Measure: To measure the conduit lengths accurately.
5. Level: To ensure the conduit is installed straight and level.
