Abb A716 5/8 Cushioned Channel Clamp Emt 1-5/8 Inch

Product Description

The ABB INSTALLATION PRODUCTS A716 5/8 is a two-piece steel cushioned tube clamp designed for securing EMT conduit in strut channel systems. Built from electrogalvanized steel with a gold finish, it provides corrosion resistance in typical interior installations. The clamp accepts 1-5/8 inch conduit, matches a 1-5/8 inch thread size, and has a depth of 1-1/4 inches. Material thickness is 12 gauge steel. The cushioned design reduces vibration transfer and protects conduit surfaces from abrasion. Each unit ships complete with a bolt, locknut, and cushion insert, making it a ready-to-install hardware assembly for licensed electricians and pipe hangers.

This clamp is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where EMT conduit must be supported from unistrut or SUPER-STRUT channel. It is a standard component in suspended ceiling grids, exposed conduit runs along walls or overhead structure, and mechanical room installations. The cushioned design is especially practical in applications with mechanical vibration sources nearby, such as rooftop HVAC equipment or pump rooms. Electricians installing EMT in these environments use this clamp to meet NEC support spacing requirements while protecting conduit integrity.

Key Features

• Two-piece design with integral cushion for vibration isolation and conduit surface protection
• Electrogalvanized gold steel construction for corrosion resistance in interior environments
• Fits 1-5/8 inch EMT conduit with matching 1-5/8 inch thread size
• 12 gauge steel body for structural rigidity under load
• Includes bolt, locknut, and cushion insert — no additional hardware required
• Compatible with standard strut channel mounting systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use clamp for 1-5/8 inch EMT conduit support on strut channel framing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize any circuits in the work area before securing conduit clamps near energized conductors. Tighten the included bolt and locknut to snug the clamp firmly against the strut channel without over-torquing the cushion insert. Refer to NEC Article 358 for EMT conduit support spacing requirements applicable to the installation.
