Thomas Betts 5320 Emt Conduit Coupling 1 Inch Compression

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 5320 is a steel compression-style coupling designed for joining sections of electrical metallic tubing (EMT) conduit in commercial and residential electrical installations. Rated for 1 inch trade size conduit, it uses a compression connection method that creates a concrete-tight, water-resistant joint without the need for set screws or tools beyond standard hand tightening. The non-insulated steel construction provides a durable, low-resistance path for grounding continuity. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of conduit raceway systems where environmental protection and mechanical integrity are required.

This coupling is suited for EMT conduit runs in indoor and outdoor applications where concrete-tight and water-resistant performance is needed. Common install scenarios include conduit embedded in or adjacent to concrete slabs, exterior exposed runs, and damp locations where set-screw couplings would not provide adequate sealing. The compression design makes it a practical choice when a secure, tool-minimal connection is preferred on 1 inch EMT.

Key Features

• Compression connection provides concrete-tight and water-resistant joint without set screws
• Fits 1 inch trade size EMT conduit
• Steel construction for durability and grounding continuity
• Non-insulated design for standard conduit coupling applications
• Suitable for damp and concrete-embedded conduit runs

Compatibility

Designed as a compression-style OEM-compatible coupling for 1 inch trade size EMT conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits in the conduit run before making or breaking connections. Ensure conduit ends are clean and free of burrs before seating the coupling to achieve a proper compression seal. Do not over-torque the compression nut by hand; follow standard trade practice for compression fittings of this type.
