Female Couplers

Female Couplers

Female Couplers are specific types of electrical conduit fittings used to join two male-threaded conduits together. These fittings have internal threads to receive the male threads of the conduits or other fittings, creating a secure and reliable connection.

Here are some key features and uses of female couplers in galvanized GI Steel conduit fittings:

  1. Material: Female couplers are typically made from galvanized Steel to provide corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor and exposed environments.
  2. Threaded Connection: Female couplers have internal threads that allow them to receive the external threads of male conduit ends or fittings. The threads are typically in accordance with the NPT (National Pipe Thread) standard.
  3. Sizes: Female couplers come in various sizes to match the different dimensions of galvanized GI Steel conduits used in electrical installations.
  4. Usage: Female couplers are commonly used to extend or join two sections of conduit together, creating a continuous conduit run. They are also used in junction boxes and electrical enclosures where multiple conduits need to be connected.
  5. Sealing: When installing female couplers in conduit systems, it is common to apply thread sealant or compound to ensure a watertight and secure connection, protecting the electrical wiring from moisture and environmental elements.

Galvanized GI Steel conduit fittings, including female couplers, are widely used in electrical installations to provide a robust and reliable conduit system. They contribute to the safety and organization of electrical wiring and are essential components for proper grounding continuity and the mechanical integrity of the electrical installation.
