Steel City XC843 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the XC843 be used for both MC/AC cable and flexible metal conduit, or do I need separate connectors?
One fitting covers both. The XC843 is rated for AC (armored cable), DC cable, and flexible metal conduit at 1 inch, so a contractor stocking a truck or an MRO crib does not need a separate screw-in connector for each cable type in that size.
2) Does the XC843 connector come with an insulated throat?
Yes, it is the insulated version. The throat carries an insulating liner so the conductors are not pulled across a bare metal edge as they enter the box, which is what inspectors look for on AC cable terminations. If you do not need the insulated throat, that is a different catalog number.
3) Is the Steel City XC843 a screw-in type connector or a squeeze/clamp type?
Screw-in. The XC843 threads into the spiral of the armor rather than clamping it with a saddle and screws, so you spin the cable into the connector body and then secure the locknut at the box. Electricians who prefer a clamp-style termination on flex should specify a squeeze connector instead, since the two are not the same install.
4) What is the Steel City XC843 made of, and can I use it in a damp location?
Zinc die cast body. That is a standard indoor/dry-location fitting material for AC and flex terminations. It is not a liquidtight fitting and carries no wet-location or raintight claim, so for outdoor or washdown work use a liquidtight flexible metal conduit connector instead.
5) How do I order the Steel City XC843 and what is the part number?
Order by manufacturer part number XC843, Steel City brand, sold individually rather than by the carton. There is one configuration, so there is no finish or size choice to specify.
