Thomas Betts 8521 Conduit Connector 1-1/2 in Imc Rigid

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 8521 is a straight, non-insulated compression conduit connector designed for use with rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC). Constructed from malleable iron, this connector provides a durable mechanical connection at a 1-1/2 inch trade size. It is suited for non-hazardous area installations where a reliable, compression-style termination is required. Electricians use this fitting to secure conduit runs at enclosures, junction boxes, and panelboards, making it a standard part of commercial and residential electrical rough-in work.

This connector is intended for straight-run conduit termination applications in non-hazardous locations. It accepts 1-1/2 inch trade size rigid metal conduit or IMC and uses a compression connection method, which provides a secure mechanical and electrical bond without the need for set screws. Typical installations include conduit entering electrical panels, pull boxes, and enclosures in commercial, industrial, and residential settings.
