Our experts are standing by to tell you what kinds of connectors will be best for your specific application. In fact, we’ll be more than happy to tell you anything you want to know about aluminum conduit in general.
PullEase™ EMT Connectors – The Basics
PullEase™ EMT connectors are devices used to join sections of PullEase™ EMT conduit in electrical wiring systems. They play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical installations by providing a secure and permanent connection between conduit sections.
PullEase™ EMT conduit is a type of conduit that is commonly used in electrical wiring systems. It’s made from thin-walled steel or aluminum tubing that provides physical protection for electrical wiring and helps to prevent electrical shock or fire. The conduit sections are connected together using PullEase™ EMT connectors, which can be either compression type or setscrew type.
Compression-type PullEase™ EMT connectors are designed to be easy to install and provide a strong, permanent connection between conduit sections. They work by using a compression ring that is tightened onto the conduit to create a secure connection. The ring compresses the conduit against the connector body, creating a tight, leak-proof seal.
Setscrew-type PullEase™ EMT connectors are typically used when a conduit run needs to be terminated, or when a conduit section needs to be spliced. Setscrew-type connectors work by using a setscrew that is tightened onto the conduit to hold it in place. This type of connector provides a strong, permanent connection.
PullEase™ EMT connectors are available in a range of sizes to fit different conduit sizes. They are also available in different materials, including steel, aluminum, and plastic. Steel and aluminum connectors are typically more durable and can provide a stronger connection, while plastic connectors are lightweight and easier to handle.
More Important Information
When installing PullEase™ EMT connectors, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local electrical codes. This will ensure that the connector is installed correctly and that the electrical wiring system is safe and reliable. Some important considerations when installing PullEase™ EMT connectors include the correct sizing of the connector to the conduit, proper tightening of the connector, and the proper use of tools, such as a wrench or pliers.
In addition to providing a secure connection between conduit sections, PullEase™ EMT connectors also help to protect the electrical wiring from damage. They provide a physical barrier around the wiring, which can help to prevent damage from physical impacts or exposure to the elements. PullEase™ EMT connectors also provide an electrical grounding path, which helps to prevent electrical shock and fire.
