Thomas Betts 5321 Emt Compression Conduit Connector 1 in

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 5321 is a straight, non-insulated compression connector designed for use with electrical metallic tubing (EMT) conduit. It provides a concrete-tight, water-resistant mechanical connection between EMT and an enclosure or junction box knockout. Made from steel, the 5321 fits 1 inch trade size EMT and uses a compression-style connection to secure the conduit without set screws. Electricians install this fitting in commercial and residential applications where a reliable, moisture-resistant conduit termination is required. The compression design ensures a consistent, low-profile connection that meets common weatherproof and concrete-encased installation requirements.

The 5321 is suited for EMT conduit systems in both indoor and outdoor environments where water resistance and concrete-tight integrity are required. Typical applications include conduit runs terminating into panelboards, junction boxes, and enclosures in wet or damp-rated locations. It is also used in concrete-encased conduit installations where the fitting must maintain a tight seal against moisture intrusion. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

Key Features

• Compression connection type eliminates set screws for a cleaner, more reliable termination
• Concrete-tight and water-resistant construction suits damp and wet location installations
• Steel construction provides mechanical durability in demanding environments
• Non-insulated straight connector profile for standard EMT-to-enclosure terminations
• 1 inch trade size fits standard 1 inch EMT conduit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit compression connector 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 the circuit and lock out the panel before beginning conduit termination work. The compression nut should be tightened by hand first, then snugged with pliers or a strap wrench to achieve a watertight seal without over-torquing. Inspect the conduit end for burrs before insertion to ensure a proper compression fit.
