Constructed from malleable iron, it provides reliable mechanical strength in demanding electrical installations. At a 2-1\/2 inch trade size, this connector secures conduit to enclosures, junction boxes, and panels using a compression-style connection that creates a solid, vibration-resistant joint. It is intended for use in non-hazardous locations and is a standard hardware item installed by licensed electricians during conduit rough-in and final connection work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where rigid conduit or IMC is the specified raceway system. Typical applications include panel terminations, junction box entries, and conduit-to-enclosure connections in non-hazardous environments. The 2-1\/2 inch trade size accommodates larger conduit runs commonly found in heavy commercial wiring, feeder circuits, and mechanical room installations where conduit fill and load requirements call for larger-diameter raceways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression connection type for a secure, vibration-resistant mechanical fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides high mechanical strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight connector shape simplifies direct conduit-to-enclosure entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-insulated design suitable for standard rigid conduit and IMC applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch trade size supports larger feeder and distribution conduit runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for non-hazardous locations in commercial and industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style fitting for 2-1\/2 inch trade size rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) in non-hazardous location electrical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits in the enclosure or panel before making conduit connections. Ensure conduit ends are cut square, deburred, and reamed before inserting into the compression fitting to achieve a proper seal and avoid damage to conductors. Do not over-tighten the compression nut beyond hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Conduit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC), Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Insulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArea of Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Hazardous\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8721\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694821310770,"sku":"8721","price":487.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e6e01d23e20e7f5aa9d6c9a354b7df28.jpg?v=1788328723","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-8721-conduit-connector-2-1-2-in-rigid-imc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
