You're looking for a fitting that allows you to transition from Metal Clad (MC) cable directly into EMT conduit, avoiding a junction box. This is a common need in electrical installations. Here are a few manufacturers and some search terms that should help you find what you need

Arlington Industries

They are known for innovative connector solutions. Check their website or catalog. They may have a fitting specifically designed for this.

Bridgeport Fittings

Bridgeport makes a wide range of conduit fittings. They may have something suitable, possibly by combining existing fitting types (a cable clamp + EMT connector).

Thomas & Betts (Now ABB Installation Products)

A major player in electrical fittings. They'll likely have options or be able to point you to the right solution.

Appleton (Eaton Crouse-Hinds)

Known for robust and often specialized fittings. It's worth checking their catalog.

RAB Lighting

While primarily known for lighting, RAB has expanded into other electrical components and may offer relevant fittings.

Halex

Commonly found at big box stores, they offer a variety of fittings, and it's worth checking their selection.

Erico (Pentair)

While their specialty is grounding hardware, they also offer a range of connectors and fasteners.

Important Considerations



UL Listing

Ensure any fitting you use is UL listed for the specific application. This is critical for safety and code compliance. Look for the UL mark and the specific listing number.

Cable Size and Conduit Size

Make sure the fitting is designed for the specific sizes of MC cable (10/2 or 8/2) and EMT conduit (1").

Material Compatibility

Ensure the fitting material is compatible with both the MC cable jacket and the EMT conduit to prevent corrosion or other issues.

Code Compliance

Always check your local electrical codes to ensure the installation complies with all regulations. Some jurisdictions may have specific rules about transitioning between cable types and conduit.

Grounding

Ensure the fitting provides a proper ground connection between the MC cable armor and the EMT conduit. This is crucial for safety.

Why Avoiding a Junction Box is Difficult

Directly transitioning MC cable into EMT conduit without a junction box is often challenging because:

Strain Relief

MC cable typically requires strain relief where it enters an enclosure. A junction box provides this.

Access

Junction boxes provide access for inspection, maintenance, and future modifications.

Space for Connections

Although you're trying to avoid splices, junction boxes offer space for making connections if needed in the future.

Possible Workarounds (Use with Caution and Code Verification)


Combination Fittings

Some fittings combine a cable clamp (for the MC cable) with a set-screw or compression connector (for the EMT). These are rare but worth searching for.2.

Modified Standard Fittings

Only with very careful consideration and code compliance you might be able to adapt standard fittings (e.g., carefully drilling out a set-screw connector to accommodate the MC cable armor, while maintaining a secure ground).

This is generally not recommended unless you are extremely experienced and fully understand the code implications.3. LB Conduit Body (Carefully Chosen)

An LB conduit body could potentially be used if it's properly sized and if you can securely clamp the MC cable inside it while maintaining proper grounding*. This is not its intended use, so be extremely cautious and verify code compliance.

Best Practice

While avoiding a junction box might seem desirable, it's often more practical, safer, and code-compliant to use a small junction box for the transition. It provides better strain relief, grounding, and access. Consider using a small, weatherproof junction box if the installation is outdoors.

In summary, start with the search terms and manufacturer websites above. Carefully consider the code implications and safety aspects before attempting any non-standard installation. If in doubt, consult with a qualified electrician. Flag for review
