Orbit Industries MRTC-150 Rigid Coupling 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES MRTC-150 is a malleable iron threadless rigid coupling of the compression type, designed to join two unthreaded rigid or IMC conduits in dry locations. This coupling eliminates the need for field threading, making it practical in situations where threading on-site is undesirable or not feasible. The compression-style connection provides a secure mechanical joint without requiring threaded conduit ends. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of a conduit system in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

This coupling is suited for use in dry location installations where rigid metal conduit or IMC runs need to be joined without threading. It is a common choice in retrofit work, tight spaces, or pre-cut conduit runs where threading equipment is not available on-site. The 1-1/2 inch trade size accommodates standard rigid and IMC conduit of that diameter, making it a practical fit for a wide range of electrical rough-in and raceway projects.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability and reliable mechanical strength
• Compression-type design joins unthreaded rigid or IMC conduit ends securely
• 1-1/2 inch trade size fits standard rigid and IMC conduit
• Rated for dry location use
• Eliminates the need for field threading, saving time on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 1-1/2 inch trade size rigid metal conduit and IMC in dry location electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and ensure conduit runs are properly supported before installing the coupling. Conduit ends should be clean, burr-free, and cut square to ensure a proper compression fit. Do not use this coupling in wet or outdoor locations unless listed for such use.
