Southwire 653 1 in Die Cast Compression Emt Connector

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 653 is a 1-inch die cast compression connector designed for use with electrical metallic tubing (EMT). It creates a secure, low-resistance mechanical and electrical connection between EMT conduit and a metal enclosure or junction box. The compression-style fitting provides a watertight-style grip on the conduit without the need for set screws, making it a preferred choice for electrical contractors working in commercial and residential installations where a clean, reliable termination is required.

This connector is suited for use in standard EMT conduit installations in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. It is typically installed at panel enclosures, junction boxes, and other metal enclosures where EMT terminates. The die cast construction provides the mechanical strength and conductivity expected in code-compliant electrical work.

Key Features

• 1-inch trade size fits standard 1-inch EMT conduit
• Die cast construction for durability and solid electrical bonding
• Compression-style connection eliminates set screws for a cleaner termination
• Compatible with standard knockout openings in metal enclosures and panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for 1-inch EMT conduit systems in residential and commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits and verify the absence of voltage before beginning conduit termination work. Use appropriate conduit reaming tools to remove burrs from cut EMT ends before seating the connector. Tighten the compression nut to the manufacturer-recommended hand-tight-plus specification using a wrench to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical bond.
