Southwire RC50 Rigid Conduit Coupling 0.5 in Threaded 100 Pack

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE RC50 is a half-inch galvanized rigid threaded coupling used to join two sections of threaded rigid conduit or IMC conduit end to end. Sold in a 100-pack, this fitting is a standard component in commercial and residential electrical rough-in work. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in exposed or damp locations. The threaded design is compatible with all standard threaded connectors, making it a practical choice for conduit runs in walls, ceilings, and exposed raceway systems. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of conduit assemblies governed by NEC requirements.

This coupling is suited for use in both residential and commercial electrical installations wherever threaded rigid conduit or IMC conduit is specified. It can be used with chase nipples and connectors to bond threaded conduit runs to electrical junction boxes or enclosures. The fitting also serves as a transition component when converting flexible metal conduit or liquid-tight conduit to rigid threaded conduit using the appropriate threaded connectors. The 100-pack quantity supports larger conduit runs and reduces restocking frequency on active job sites.

Key Features

• Half-inch threaded design joins two ends of rigid or IMC conduit
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or exposed locations
• Compatible with all standard threaded connectors, chase nipples, and conduit fittings
• Usable as a transition fitting with flexible metal conduit and liquid-tight conduit systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with half-inch threaded rigid metal conduit and IMC conduit. Also compatible with standard threaded connectors, chase nipples, and threaded conduit fittings for bonding conduit to junction boxes and enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for rigid metal conduit systems. De-energize all circuits and verify power is off before working on any conduit assembly. Thread the coupling onto conduit ends by hand and tighten with a pipe wrench to ensure a secure mechanical and bonding connection. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage threads and compromise the fitting seal.
