Features:

• Material: Zinc-plated steel
• Size: 1/2 inch
• Type: Set screw coupling
• Usage: Joins two lengths of EMT conduit
• Compliance: UL Standard 514B, NEMA FB-1
• Concrete Tight: When taped
• Diameter: 1.75 inches
• Number of Screws: 2

Applications:

1. Joining EMT Conduits: It is primarily used to join two lengths of EMT conduit together, ensuring a secure and continuous pathway for electrical wiring  
2. Commercial and Residential Wiring: Commonly used in both commercial and residential electrical installations to maintain the integrity of the conduit system 
    
3. Concrete Tight Applications: When taped, it provides concrete-tight protection, making it suitable for installations where a secure and moisture-resistant connection is required 
    
4. Indoor Electrical Systems: Specifically designed for indoor use, ensuring a reliable connection between EMT conduit sections

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:

   • Insert one end of the EMT conduit into the coupling until it reaches the stop.
   • Tighten the set screw on the coupling to secure the conduit.
   • Repeat the process for the other end of the coupling with the second piece of conduit.

3. Tightening:

   • Use a screwdriver to tighten the set screws on both sides of the coupling.
   • Ensure the connection is secure and concrete-tight if required (by taping the coupling).

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 

These steps will help you achieve a secure and reliable connection between EMT conduits. 

Tool Requirements:

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. Screwdriver: To tighten the set screws on the coupling.
4. Tape Measure: To measure the conduit lengths accurately.
5. Level: To ensure the conduit is installed straight and level
