Southwire 268I 3 Inch Rigid Compression Connector

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 268I is a 3-inch rigid compression connector designed for use in conduit installations where a secure, weatherproof mechanical connection is required. This fitting joins rigid metal conduit (RMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) to an enclosure, panel, or junction box using a compression-style coupling mechanism. It is installed by licensed electricians in commercial, industrial, and residential applications where code-compliant conduit termination is required. At 13 pounds, this connector is built for demanding field conditions.

This fitting is suited for use in conduit runs entering electrical enclosures, distribution panels, and junction boxes. The 3-inch trade size accommodates large-diameter rigid conduit systems commonly found in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and utility installations. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use where a reliable conduit termination point is needed.

Key Features

• 3-inch trade size fits standard rigid metal conduit and IMC
• Compression-style connection provides a secure, vibration-resistant mechanical fit
• Designed for conduit-to-enclosure termination in commercial and industrial installations
• Durable construction suited for demanding electrical environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 3-inch rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for conduit fittings and enclosure entry points. De-energize all circuits and verify lockout/tagout procedures are in place before beginning conduit work. Ensure the conduit end is clean, deburred, and properly reamed before seating the connector. Do not overtighten the compression nut beyond hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns without referencing applicable torque guidelines for the fitting size.
