ALEX® Combination Coupling: EMT to Flexible Metal Conduit
(Spanish Reference: CONECTOR FLEXIBLE METÁLICO A TUBERÍA EMT)
Product Definition
The ALEX® Combination Coupling is a specialized transition fitting designed to securely join Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) to Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC).
Constructed from high-strength zinc-plated steel, this coupling ensures a safe, vibration-resistant mechanical bond and maintains electrical grounding continuity between the rigid and flexible raceway systems.It is the standard solution for transitioning from main conduit runs to flexible drops for motors, lights, or equipment in dry location environments.
Key Features & Benefits
Seamless Transition: Engineered to connect two different types of conduits (Rigid EMT to Flexible Steel) without the need for a junction box.
Corrosion Resistance: The zinc-plated steel construction offers durable protection against rust and corrosion in commercial and light industrial settings.
Wire Protection: Features a precision-machined smooth interior to prevent wire abrasion or insulation damage during cable pulling.
Secure Installation: Utilizes a compression or screw-based mechanism to grip both the EMT and the Flexible conduit firmly, preventing pull-out.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the main use of this connector?
A: It is used when you need to switch from a rigid pipe (EMT) to a flexible pipe (FMC) in a single run. This is common when routing wiring from a ceiling or wall (Rigid) down to a vibrating machine or motor (Flexible).
Q: Is this connector liquid-tight?
A: No. This specific Zinc-Plated Steel connector is designed for Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC) in dry locations. For wet environments, please use our Liquid Tight Connectors with sealing gaskets.
Q: Does it ensure grounding continuity?
A: Yes. The high-strength steel construction and secure mechanical grip provide a stable path for ground fault currents, complying with electrical bonding codes.
Q: Do you offer OEM branding?
A: Yes. We support OEM production, private labeling, and custom packaging for distributors and project suppliers.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Our standard lead time is approximately 4 weeks. We recommend confirming specific delivery schedules with our sales team before placing large orders.
