tap on connector

[garyevans57]

Has anyone used these for 1/2 inch emt, for connecting two boxes on each side of a brick wall. I used these in the past and can not remember who sells them. They hammer on the end of the emt and fit nicely in the hole.

I've never even heard of them till today... and I agree they would have been very useful for some of the past jobs i've done.

A Tomic connector is the stupid thing that comes with range and dryer cordsets to use instead of a romex connector. There's also something called a Tomic bolt, but I can't remember off the top of my head what that is anymore.

I'm not quite sure, I'm assuming its a 2-piece compression connector?

Yeah, I was sorta waiting for a pic from you... I couldn't find anything on the net other than the one's I already knew about.

Here's a pic

The Tomic brand, as it relates to electrical fittings was first trademarked in 1961 by the TOMIC SALES & ENGINEERING CORPORATION. It was a dead trademark for years until P&S revived it for fittings in 1986. The trademark is now dead again as it relates to electrical fittings.

That's cool. Thanks!

How's it work? You hammer it inside the EMT, through the knockout hole in the box?

Use the

button and put the link to your image in the box that pops up. It will automatically put the image in your post.

 

[Sierrasparky]

I tried that but all it show is the link.

Yeah, you need to link to an actual JPG or GIF file stored someplace like photobucket.
