emt to seal-tite

[alan camby]

What is the easiest and cleanest way to transition from EMT to sealtite flexible conduit.
I know a J-box could be used but would like to avoid it.
The only way I can figure it out(using home improvement store stock) is to use 3 different fittings. EMT compression fitting to 1/2 hub, 1/2" threaded coupling, then sealtite fitting.

EMT compression fitting to 1/2 hub, 1/2" threaded coupling, then sealtite fitting.

That's standard procedure.

I would skip the hub.....1/2 compression connector - 1/2 thread coupling - 1/2 Sealtite connector.

Is there a all In one fitting? 1/2"EMT to 1/2"flex conduit, for example.

That is the way I meant it. My terminology might not be all correct.

One way is a Rigid to EMT connector then use a sealtite fitting, some in the electrical community argue that a rigid conduit coupling is not listed to couple a EMT connector & a sealtite connector, but as Aceman said, it's the way it is done.



The rigid to EMT connectors are not cheap, nor do big box stores carry them,the easiest way is just to make them up as shown in the photo.

Depending on how many bends you already have in the run, you might be forced to install a pull point prior to changing over to seal-tight. If this is the case and you don’t want to use a junction box, try using a “C” condulet. This makes for a clean install without the mounting issues and space requirements that a pull / junction box requires.

I don't understand how to link to McMaster-carr's part numbars.

Put in part number 7984k23 at http://www.mcmaster.com/#electrical-metallic-tubing-(emt)-fittings/=r636l7

That is the only thing I can find. Do any of the home improvement stores sell something like that? Might just have to get a few from Mcmaster. Something just bothers me about sacking 3 fittings.

There is this: http://www.mcmaster.com/#7984k23/=r63zqf No stinkn' adapters, just what is needed.


Edit: I did not look close enough to the OP's last post.

I never thought about using a condulet.....that would have a few benefits.
