Southwire 654 Die-cast Compression Emt Connector 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 654 is a 1-1/4 inch die-cast compression connector designed for use with electrical metallic tubing (EMT). This type of fitting creates a secure, low-resistance mechanical and electrical bond between EMT conduit and a knockout on an enclosure, junction box, or panel. The compression design eliminates the need for set screws, instead using a threaded compression nut that seats the conduit firmly when tightened. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of raceway assemblies in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This connector is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring installations where EMT conduit is the raceway of choice. It is used at conduit termination points — where the conduit run ends at a box, panel, or enclosure. The 1-1/4 inch trade size accommodates standard 1-1/4 inch EMT conduit. Die-cast construction provides the mechanical strength and conductivity required for grounding continuity through the raceway system.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch trade size fits standard 1-1/4 inch EMT conduit
• Compression-style connection requires no set screws for a secure, vibration-resistant fit
• Die-cast construction delivers solid mechanical strength and reliable grounding continuity
• Threaded compression nut design speeds up termination at boxes and enclosures
• Compatible with standard knockout sizes for 1-1/4 inch trade size fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-install fitting for 1-1/4 inch EMT conduit raceway systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits in the enclosure before terminating conduit or making any connections at a panel or junction box. Slide the compression nut onto the conduit before inserting the conduit into the connector body, then hand-tighten and wrench-tighten the nut to the connector body to achieve a secure mechanical connection. Do not over-tighten die-cast fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
