Thomas Betts 8321 Conduit Connector 1 in Rigid Imc Malleable Iron

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 8321 is a straight compression conduit connector designed for use with rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC). Constructed from malleable iron, it provides a durable, non-insulated connection point where conduit terminates at a junction box, enclosure, or panel. The compression-style connection secures the conduit mechanically without threading, making it a reliable choice for non-hazardous electrical installations. This fitting is sized for 1-inch trade size conduit and is a standard component in commercial and industrial wiring systems installed by licensed electricians.

The 8321 is suited for use in non-hazardous locations where rigid or IMC conduit systems require a secure, code-compliant termination. Typical applications include commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and institutional construction where metallic conduit systems are required by the electrical design. Electricians use this connector when terminating conduit runs at panelboards, pull boxes, or equipment enclosures. The straight connector profile keeps the termination compact and aligned with the conduit run.

Key Features

• Compression connection type — no threading required at the box knockout
• Malleable iron construction for durability in commercial and industrial environments
• Straight connector profile for direct conduit-to-enclosure termination
• Non-insulated design suited for standard non-hazardous area installations
• 1-inch trade size fits standard rigid and IMC conduit of that trade size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression connector for 1-inch trade size rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) in non-hazardous area applications.

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 panel or enclosure before making any connections at the termination point. The compression nut should be tightened with the appropriate wrench to achieve a secure mechanical connection without over-torquing the malleable iron body. Verify that the knockout size in the enclosure matches the 1-inch trade size of this connector before installation.
