Does anyone know of a 3/4 emt to mc or nm changeover. I know they make a 1/2 inch emt to nm changeover. Can't seem to find the other though.

Thats what I did at first but the electrical inspector told me that thats not an approved fitting to do that. I think he's way out of line but not much I can do about it.

Basically, I have 3/4 emt stubbed out of block walls and I want to run my 12-2 mc in and out of it. What I did was us a 3/4 connector with a rigid coupling, then an re with a duplex connector.

Well......I disagree with that it is a violation but it seems you will have to use a box even if you just pass the conductors right through.

I have successfully done that as well, nice clean and safe installation.

So i guess that might be a good idea to come up with a fitting like that, one that is made up in one piece.

"The connectors are connecting and the couplings are coupling"
Whats the problem?
And if you do find a change over is it rated for 3/4 FMC or MC?

I just hate to have to set over a hundred boxes, when all I really have to do is do a changeover. Now I must drill a support and mount a box. I guess it is what it is.

Bridgeport makes perhaps the widest selection of "combination couplings" from what I can tell. I was looking for a 1-1/4" EMT to IMC combination coupling the other day for a batch of new RTU's, and couldn't find anyone making one.

Use a SG 38 connector on your MC. Thats listed. Use a 3/4 ridgid coupling with a 3/4 to 1/2 reducing bushing. Also listed. Then a 3/4 EMT connector.
Again, whats the listing problem here?

Don't give up yet, maybe someone knows where a 3/4" can be found.
I understand your issue, major time difference.

I really don't think anyone will make a combination coupling for EMT to MC, because you don't pull conductors in MC, and the raceway has to be completely assembled before installation of conductors. A 'C' body might be the way to fly.220/221 said:

This is the closest I have seen. They are for 1/2'' emt to 3/8'' flex.
