Thomas & Betts 256 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Thomas & Betts 256 connector work with both flexible metal conduit and armored cable?
Yes. The Thomas & Betts 256 is built for both armored cable (AC/BX) terminations and flexible metal conduit runs, in the 1 inch trade size. It is a straight, in-line fitting, so it terminates the cable or flex directly into a box or enclosure knockout without changing direction.
2) I need to terminate 1 inch flex into a panel knockout. Is the 256 the right fitting?
That is exactly what it is for. The 256 handles 1 inch armored cable and 1 inch flexible metal conduit, straight in line, and is used for electrical panel and enclosure connections in commercial, industrial and residential work. You will still need the locknut prep on the enclosure side to land it in the knockout.
3) Will the 1 inch Thomas & Betts 256 connector fit 3/4 inch or 1/2 inch flex?
No. The 256 is sized for 1 inch trade size armored cable and flexible metal conduit only. Smaller flex will not be gripped properly by the squeeze clamp, so order the connector that matches the trade size of the cable you are terminating.
4) What is a squeeze connector and do I need to thread the conduit to use one?
No threading required. A squeeze connector clamps the armored cable or flex mechanically, so you slide the cable into the connector body and tighten the clamp screws to grip it. The 256 uses that squeeze design for straight-through 1 inch connections, which is why it goes on faster than a threaded fitting in the field.
5) Is the Thomas & Betts 256 squeeze connector die cast or malleable iron?
Malleable iron, with a metallic finish. That matters where a die cast zinc fitting can crack under clamp torque or rough handling in industrial and commercial installs; the iron body takes the abuse and resists corrosion better in damp mechanical rooms.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the Thomas & Betts 1 inch straight squeeze connector?
The part number is 256. That is the number to spec when you are standardizing a job or reordering to match what is already installed on site.
