Value Collection BD--17426-1/2 Conduit Coupling 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--17426-1/2 is a threaded conduit coupling designed for use with rigid metal conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC). Constructed from malleable iron, this coupling provides a durable, non-insulated connection point between two conduit sections. It carries a 1/2 inch trade size, making it a standard fit for common branch circuit and feeder conduit runs. The concrete-tight area of application rating makes it suitable for installations where conduit is embedded in or routed through concrete. Electricians rely on this type of fitting to maintain raceway continuity and mechanical protection throughout a conduit system.

This coupling is suited for both commercial and residential electrical installations where rigid conduit or IMC is specified. Typical use cases include service entrance runs, exposed conduit in mechanical rooms, and concrete-encased raceway systems. The threaded connection type ensures a secure, wrench-tightened joint consistent with NEC raceway requirements. Sold in a package quantity of 10, it is practical for contractors working multiple runs or performing bulk conduit work on a single job site.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Threaded connection type for a secure, wrench-tightened conduit joint
• Concrete-tight area of application rating for embedded or through-slab installations
• Non-insulated design compatible with standard grounding continuity practices
• 1/2 inch trade size fits common branch circuit conduit runs
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for efficient job site use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch trade size rigid metal conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) in threaded conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for rigid and IMC conduit systems. De-energize all circuits in the affected raceway before making or breaking conduit connections. Thread the coupling onto conduit ends using a pipe wrench, ensuring full thread engagement on both sides for mechanical integrity. Do not use this coupling with conduit types or trade sizes other than those specified.
