Halex

Halex conduit fittings and supports help electrical contractors connect conduit runs and hold them in place. For an EMT job, you’ve got compression connectors, compression couplings and conduit straps. You can plan the box entries, straight joints and supports together.

Halex was founded in 1947 in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area. The company develops electrical fittings and accessories. It works directly with contractors and engineers to create solutions.

Match the fitting to the connection

Use a connector at the box and a coupling between conduit lengths. Halex offers both in EMT compression styles. Sort your box entries from your straight joints before counting fittings.

Full seating matters with a compression coupling. A conduit end left short can leave a connection looking finished before it’s properly assembled. Seat both conduit ends in the Halex EMT compression coupling before tightening.

Halex covers connectors, supports and access fittings with EMT set screw connectors, strut clamps for EMT and rigid conduit, and EMT-to-rigid conduit bodies. Its LB-type EMT conduit bodies provide another access option; position the cover where you’ve got room to work at the opening when pulling conductors.

Support the run where it attaches

Halex EMT conduit straps hold the tubing along its route. Match the strap to the conduit size and choose the fastener for the mounting surface. Both parts of that attachment matter. Lay out the fastening points before cutting the run.

For rigid conduit, Halex offers one-hole and two-hole straps. Choose between them with the mounting space in mind, leaving access to drive each fastener properly.

Halex also offers EMT conduit hangers for runs that call for that support arrangement.

Choose transitions by both conduit types

Halex offers separate EMT-to-rigid, EMT-to-flex and EMT-to-non-metallic combination couplings, so identify both conduit types at each transition on your material list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Halex connector do I need?

Start with the conduit type you’re connecting. For EMT, Halex offers set screw and compression connectors, including compression versions with insulated throats. If you need a rain tight connection, choose a connector specifically designated rain tight; a compression connection alone doesn’t establish that.

Can I use a Halex clamp with EMT or rigid conduit?

Halex offers strut clamps for both EMT and rigid conduit. Match the clamp to your conduit type and size. A strut clamp supports the run at the strut; you’ll need a separate connector where the conduit enters a box.

What is a Halex conduit body used for?

A Halex conduit body gives you access to conductors through a removable cover, which helps when pulling wire through a run. EMT options include LB-type and set screw conduit bodies. Keep the cover accessible after the job is finished, so you can reach the conductors again without taking the run apart.

What is a Halex conduit hanger used for?

A Halex EMT conduit hanger supports electrical metallic tubing along the run. It’s support hardware, so it doesn’t replace a coupling between lengths or a connector at a box. Your support layout needs to account for the mounting surface and the fastening requirements of the particular hanger.
