huh... never seen it, didn't know it existed.
truth be told, i see it as a solution for a problem that doesn't exist,
plus creating two brand new problems all its own:
1. the screws disappearing in transit. now, you can stop and look
for screws that fit, or carry THOSE with you.....
2. a bundle of this is gonna be bulgy and awkward, and i'll bet a
cheeseburger that handling bumps and stuff hitting those screws,
and tweaking them enough to deform the "coupling" enough that
the pipe won't slide into it.
as far as being "faster", i doubt it. i can put couplings on and tighten
them down pretty quickly with a screw gun, or small impact driver.
and this removes one of the install advantages of emt.... bend and
cut to fit... doing racks of emt, and wanting to have the couplings
line up, in exposed work, is pretty effortless. bend your 90's to fit,
get them all around the corner, and then cut all the ends even with
the shortest one. continue running emt.....
with this, you get to do developed length and bend, which isn't as
fast as plan A, to save a largely worthless coupling.
this seems to be an idea developed in marketing by folks who've
never actually done this for a living.
interesting, but a solid -1 for me.
