Indentor type emt connector?

[smallfish]

Charlie Trout answers in his "Code Question of the Day" forum for July 29, 2010 that he thinks that indentor type emt fittings, coupling and connectors, are more durable than the set-screw type or the compression type. Does anyone out there have a picture of an indentor type?
Thanks

No picture but I will agree with him. Can't get the dang things apart short of a cutting torch. They haven't been used in this area for many years. Maybe the late 60s.

I like the statement: "... provide concrete-tight connections when taped."

BFD! What doesn't? :roll:

Most set screw emt couplings say the same thing.

I hate to be a bean sprout about this, but while they are hard to separate when you want them to, they seem to almost fall apart when you don't want them to. I run across stub ups out of a finished wall where I move the switch or something and the conduits down inside the wall come loose on me. Now I gotta go fish a new bonding means or else rip up drywall and put a set screw coupling on the thing. I take a peek at the style of fittings and find indenters.

I run across that with set screw and compression fittings too. It's a matter of whether or not it was made up right in the first place.

That was my point: what isn't concrete-tight when taped?! :roll:

I thought the exact same thing when I read that

GMTA. Scary, ain't it? :grin:

I think they meant to say, "NOT concrete-tight if NOT taped", as opposed to threaded couplings that are concrete-tight without tape.

Sometimes ya gotta read betwixt the lines.
