Thomas & Betts 2706 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What hub size does the Thomas & Betts 2706 cord grip thread into?
It is a 1-1/2 inch straight cord connector, so it lands in a 1-1/2 inch trade size knockout or hub on a box, enclosure, or fitting.
2) Will the 2706 cord grip work on 3/4 inch conduit knockouts?
No. The 2706 is a 1-1/2 inch fitting and will not thread into a 3/4 inch opening. For a 3/4 inch NPT hub, the Bridgeport Fittings RSR-2106 aluminum cord grip connector is sized for that opening.
3) I need a cord grip for a 3/4 inch knockout - can I use the Thomas & Betts 2706?
No. The 2706 is built around a 1-1/2 inch hub and a 1.14 to 1.4 inch cord diameter range, so it will not thread into a 3/4 inch knockout and will not grip a small cord. For a 3/4 inch NPT opening, the Bridgeport Fittings RSR-2106 aluminum cord grip connector is the right size class. Reserve the 2706 for the large-diameter portable cord and the 1-1/2 inch opening it was sized for.
4) What is the difference between the Thomas & Betts 2706 cord connector and the Bridgeport Fittings RSR-2106?
They differ in body material and hub size. The Thomas & Betts 2706 is a nylon-bodied straight cord connector with a 1-1/2 inch hub, sized for cords in the 1.14 to 1.4 inch outside-diameter range. The Bridgeport Fittings RSR-2106 is an aluminum cord grip connector with a 3/4 inch NPT hub, so it serves much smaller cords and a much smaller knockout. Match the connector to the knockout you are landing in and to the measured jacket diameter of the cord, not to the conductor count.
5) Can I use the Thomas & Betts 2706 as a strain relief on portable cord into a junction box?
That is what it is for. A cord grip clamps the cable jacket so pulling on the cord does not load the terminations inside the box. The 2706 handles 1.14 to 1.4 inch OD jacket through a 1-1/2 inch hub, which covers heavier multiconductor portable cord feeding equipment and control enclosures.
6) How do I order the Thomas & Betts nylon cord grip for a 1-1/2 inch opening?
Order by manufacturer part number 2706. There are no finish or size options to pick on it, just the single black nylon configuration sized for 1-1/2 inch hubs and 1.14 to 1.4 inch cord.
