You can use a variety of
different conduit fittings to wire new additions and installations. These can
include connectors, junction boxes, and nipples. Listed below are some of the
most common types. The best type to use depends on your specific needs. Learn
more about the different types below. Also, check out this handy guide. If you
have any questions, feel free to contact us. We are always happy to help.
Whether you have a small electrical project or a huge project, we're here to
help.
Couplers
There are various types of
couplers for Conduit Fittings. A set-screw coupling is a fitting that has adjustable
screws that secure the conduit in place. On the other hand, a compression
coupling is a fitting that uses locknuts or external threads to secure the
conduit. Couplers with threads are often used in underground applications, but
they are not as effective as set-screw couplings.
Compression couplings have a
tighter fit but are not rain tight. They also take longer to install and may
have a higher failure rate than set-screw couplings. If you're installing conduits
outdoors, be sure to consult a qualified electrical designer to ensure you
follow construction codes. Couplers are available in various styles and types,
including RMC and compression couplings.
Nipples
Nipples for conduit fittings are
short pieces of bent conduit that have male threads on both ends. They are
typically used to connect rigid conduits to electrical boxes or enclosures.
This type of nip is rust-resistant and durable and is used in many
environments, including corrosive environments. Nipples for conduits are
available in various sizes and box quantities. For a more durable connection,
you can also purchase stainless steel nipples.
Threaded conduit nipples fit on
both the male and female end of the conduit and secure them in place using a
locknut. They can be used to connect electrical devices to conduit and act as
pass-throughs for low-voltage cables. These fittings are used for short
distances and to seal the gap between the conduit and the knockout. Threaded
chase nipples are a popular choice for most conduit applications and are
commonly used for conduit applications.
Straps
Conduit straps and clamps are
essential accessories for PVC (polyvinyl chloride) conduit installations. They
offer the same strength and installation flexibility as other conduit
accessories and are designed for long-term reliability. Straps and clamps
should be chosen according to the conduit's intended use. You should check the
manufacturer's specifications to determine the proper product for your project.
Straps for conduit fittings and clamps are sold separately.
Conduit straps are essential for
securing rigid conduits to wood, masonry, and other surfaces. AMFICO's straps
positively snap on the conduit once installed. CSR1 and CSR2 straps have a
single or dual mounting hole. Rigid conduit support hangers help secure pipe with
fittings in a horizontal or vertical position. They provide the highest
strength. They are available in a variety of sizes to meet the mounting
requirements of the industry.
Clamps
Clamps for conduit fittings help
secure cable and electrical wiring to walls or ceilings. Ceiling conduit
hangers are ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Zorro has all the accessories you
need to install your conduit. Find the right ones for your application and
order online today! Read on to learn about all of the advantages of conduit
clamps. And remember to check out the rest of our selection of conduit
accessories. You can't go wrong!
Non-metallic conduit clamps are
made of PVC. They allow conduits to expand and contract without bowing or
temperature changes. They are durable, rust-resistant, and non-conductive. They
also work with rigid conduits and are designed to fit your exact spacing
requirements. Non-metallic conduit clamps are also listed for outdoor use. They
can also be installed quickly and are available in various sizes and shapes.
Clamps for conduit fittings are an essential part of your installation.

Set-Screw
A set-screw for conduit fittings
is a mechanical fastener that bonds steel or aluminum conduit to electrical
junction boxes or enclosures. These fasteners are zinc-plated steel or die-cast
zinc and feature a Tri-Drive head that works with both slotted and Phillips
screws. They are also compatible with square-headed screwdrivers. These
connectors are a common choice for securing and terminating conduits in a
variety of applications.
The length of a set-screw for
conduit fittings varies based on the design. The head of the screw must touch
the screw boss to achieve appropriate torque. While this torque may be adequate
for a small-diameter conduit, it cannot be relied upon for larger trade sizes.
The length of a set-screw for conduit fittings is generally larger than the
diameter of the screw.
