Thomas & Betts 3118 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Thomas & Betts 3118 work for MC cable, or just flexible conduit?
It is catalogued as an AC/MC/flex connector, so it is intended for armored and metal-clad cable as well as flexible conduit, in the 1-1/4 inch size. For small-diameter MC cable with a snap-in body instead of a clamp, the Arlington 407AST handles 3/8 inch cable into a 3/4 inch knockout.
2) Which MC cable connector should I use for a 3/4 inch knockout with 3/8 inch cable?
The Arlington Industries 407AST SNAP2IT MC cable connector is built for exactly that combination: a 3/4 inch knockout with 3/8 inch cable, supplied in a pack of 100. The Thomas & Betts 3118 is a 1-1/4 inch straight Tite-Bite connector and would not fit a 3/4 inch knockout.
3) Is the Thomas & Betts 3118 connector steel or die-cast?
Malleable iron, with a metallic finish. That is a tougher body than a die-cast zinc fitting and holds up better where the connector takes mechanical abuse, like exposed runs on equipment and mechanical rooms.
4) What knockout size do I need for a 1-1/4 inch Tite-Bite connector?
A 1-1/4 inch connector lands in a 1-1/4 inch knockout in the box or enclosure. If your enclosure is punched for a smaller trade size you will need to either step the knockout up or use a connector matched to that size.
5) Straight or 90-degree flex connector, which do I order for a tight box entry?
The 3118 is the straight version, so the conduit enters the enclosure in line with the knockout. Where there is no room to sweep the flex before the box, a 90-degree connector is the better choice; the straight body assumes you can run the conduit squarely into the opening.
6) What is the difference between a Tite-Bite connector and a snap-in connector like Arlington SNAP2IT?
The Tite-Bite 3118 is a malleable iron fitting that grips the conduit mechanically when tightened. The Arlington SNAP2IT fittings, such as the 380ST and 407AST, are snap-in bodies that push into the knockout, which installers pick for speed on high-count MC cable work. Note that the SNAP2IT items listed are 3/8 inch cable fittings, not a substitute for a 1-1/4 inch connector.
