Installation:

1. Prepare the Conduit:

   • Measure and cut the EMT conduit to the required lengths using a pipe cutter or hacksaw.
   • Deburr the cut ends using a deburring tool or file to ensure smooth edges.

2. Insert the Conduit:

   • Slide one end of the conduit into the connector until it is fully seated.
   • Repeat this step for the other piece of conduit on the opposite side of the connector.

3. Secure the Connection:

   • Tighten the compression nut on the connector using a wrench. Ensure the nut is tight enough to hold the conduit securely in place.

4. Check the Installation:

   • Verify that the conduit is firmly connected and the connector is properly aligned.
   • Ensure there are no gaps or loose connections.

5. Tape the Connection (Optional):

   • For added protection, especially in outdoor or damp environments, you can wrap the connection with electrical tape to ensure it is concrete-tight
