Thomas Betts 8124 Imc Rigid Conduit Coupling 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 8124 is a steel set screw conduit coupling designed for joining sections of rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) in electrical raceway installations. Built for 1/2-inch trade size conduit, it uses a set screw connection method to secure conduit ends without threading, making installation straightforward in both new construction and retrofit work. The non-insulated steel construction is rated for concrete-tight applications, making it suitable for embedment in concrete or use in damp and exposed locations where a secure, corrosion-resistant mechanical connection is required. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This coupling is suited for use in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations where rigid conduit or IMC is specified. Concrete-tight construction makes it appropriate for slab-embedded conduit runs, underground raceways, and other applications where the fitting must resist moisture infiltration. The set screw design allows for tool-assisted tightening to achieve a consistent mechanical connection at each conduit joint along a run.

Key Features

• Set screw connection type for secure, tool-tightened mechanical joint without threading conduit ends together
• Compatible with both rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) at 1/2-inch trade size
• Concrete-tight construction suitable for embedment in concrete and damp or wet location conduit runs
• Steel construction provides durable mechanical strength at conduit joints
• Non-insulated fitting for standard raceway applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 1/2-inch trade size rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems in standard electrical raceway installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify the conduit run is not live before working on any raceway connection. Tighten set screws using the appropriate Allen wrench or hex key to achieve a secure mechanical connection. For concrete-tight applications, verify the fitting is fully seated and fastened before concrete pour or backfill.
