What are the two types of compression fittings used for EMT?

The two types of compression fittings used for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) are coupling and connector.

A coupling is designed to join two sections of EMT together, ensuring a secure and conductive pathway for electrical wiring. It is essential for maintaining electrical continuity and providing mechanical support within the raceway system.

A connector, on the other hand, is used to connect EMT to a device or another raceway. This fitting ensures that the transition from the EMT to other equipment is both secure and compliant with electrical codes.

The use of these two fittings is critical in the installation process, as they allow for flexibility in creating electrical circuits while maintaining the integrity and safety of the wiring system.
