Southwire 270 Rigid Compression Connector 4 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 270 is a malleable rigid compression connector designed for use in conduit installations requiring a secure, weatherproof mechanical connection. This 4-inch fitting joins rigid metal conduit sections or connects conduit to enclosures and junction boxes. The compression-style design eliminates the need for threading tools on-site and provides a reliable, vibration-resistant coupling. Electricians use this connector in commercial and industrial wiring applications where rigid conduit systems are required by code or job spec.

The SOUTHWIRE 270 is suited for 4-inch rigid metal conduit runs in commercial, industrial, and heavy-duty residential electrical installations. It is commonly installed where conduit enters panels, pull boxes, or enclosures. The malleable construction provides durability and impact resistance in demanding environments, including exposed and partially exposed conduit runs.

Key Features

• Compression fitting design for tool-free field assembly on rigid conduit
• Malleable construction for impact resistance and long service life
• 4-inch trade size fits standard 4-inch rigid metal conduit
• Secure mechanical connection suitable for vibration-prone environments
• Compatible with standard rigid conduit installation methods per NEC requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use connector for 4-inch rigid metal conduit systems in commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the affected panel or enclosure before beginning conduit termination work. Compression connectors require proper seating and tightening to achieve a secure mechanical and electrical bond. Do not over-torque the compression nut, as malleable fittings can crack under excessive force.
