For me in no particular order. :smile:Exceptions....such as....
I guess I wouldn't call a 4?F difference '3 times the heat'..........
Screw to 69 or 70 F
Compression to 73 or 74

Actually, the most widely accepted spelling is "smuts", as in the plural of smut.That's "schmutz." L'chaim!![]()
you failed to indicate the ambient, the heat source, and the pipe temperature on or near the connector. these factors would have probably been significant. for example, all I can determine from the information provided is that the compression connectors conducted heat better, which is possibly because they had better contact with the pipe ?2 years ago?? The problem with tinkering and too much crammed in the head:wink:
both at ~67 F start (appx)
After coffee break 20- 25 min ~
Screw to 69 or 70 F
Compression to 73 or 74

amps ??? I forget
We had left it with Pop off jammed open.
More detailed and i would have to get paid to do it again
And I would have to find that darn compressor too:smile:
Maybe less area, but definitely greater pressure. I try to drive the screws all the way. The deeper the dimple, the better the pull-out resistance and better conductivity. It's certainly not going to impinge on a properly-filled conduit's area.That deflection, or flattening of the conduit, can make for less contact area.
Smut was derived from shmutz (Yiddish) and/or schmutz (German). Means the same thing.Actually, the most widely accepted spelling is "smuts", as in the plural of smut.
Compare each rise from the original of 67 deg. SS: + 2-3; comp: + 6-7. That about 3x.I guess I wouldn't call a 4?F difference '3 times the heat'.
Yes, that's what I'm trying to state. The temp. rise was a factor of three, not three times the heat.Compare each rise from the original of 67 deg. SS: + 2-3; comp: + 6-7. That about 3x.
Yea, when I read the first critique I saw my error. I just let it be. I say the word sCHmutz, and am of (some) German descent so out of respect of my fore-fathers and mudders I'll schtick wid da schmutz...That's "schmutz." L'chaim!![]()
I have no definite exceptions here, but one would be no room, and a new conduit is a major undertaking. I am more easily encouraged to omit "green" when running in RMC.Exceptions....such as....
Has any one found a particular set screw connector and or coupling with a snugger fit on the EMT? Off the top of my head I prefer OZG steel connectors, and detest most any cast ones.Now for a hi-jack? =)
Snugger than what?Has any one found a particular set screw connector and or coupling with a snugger fit on the EMT? Off the top of my head I prefer OZG steel connectors, and detest most any cast ones.
:smile:Doug S(ch).
Of course the main issue is installation. Appropriately installed the compression connector provides a larger contact area, therefore less susceptible to oxidation and corrosion on the long run.simple question,are compression coupling/connectors superior to set screw on an indoor installation.If so how?

Perhaps its origin depends on the reference...Smut was derived from shmutz (Yiddish) and/or schmutz (German). Means the same thing.

I just don't see the relevance. There must be an implied reference that you're just not letting on about.... :-?It also helps to know that Yiddish is a conglomerate language, derived from Polish, German, etc., as well as Hebrew.
