[RE-wrenches] myers hubs

[August Goers]

William,

 

See:
http://www.arlcatalog.com/EMT/EMT%20Rain%20Tight%20Compression%20Couplings.h
tm

 

These fittings are nice because the steel is tinted blue to help assure that
installers don't use non-listed fittings.

 

When I referred to "wet-loc" I simply meant an EMT compression coupling
specifically labeled for use in wet locations. The particular connector I
have in front of me has "WET LOC" printed on it. San Francisco code
officials check to make sure that the fittings we use outdoors are listed
for use in wet locations.

I am familiar with the Myers hubs.  My question was referring to the
"wet-loc" connector you alluded to.  Who makes those?

Who manufactures these connectors?  Do you have a part number?

Marco:

Don't forget that if you do not have splices in an outdoor J box, and if
your wire is wet location rated, you are not required to use Nema 3R boxes
and fittings.

Marco,
 
Interesting question. May I ask why you want to use a Myers hub rather than
a standard wet-loc outdoor connector?
 
My understanding is that Myers hubs are used for weatherproofing and bonding
(when used with a metal box) because the inside nut is serrated. See NEC
250.92(B)(2) and 314.15(A). 
 
Anyone agree or disagree with me?
