Thomas & Betts 2687 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Thomas & Betts 2687 cord connector metal or plastic?
Nylon, in black. That makes it a non-metallic fitting, so it will not corrode in washdown or damp areas the way a plated steel body can, but it also carries no ground path of its own, and it is not the choice where a job specifies metallic fittings or where the fitting may see high heat or mechanical abuse.
2) Why use a 90 degree cord connector instead of a straight one?
A 90 degree body turns the cord immediately at the enclosure wall, which is what you want when the box sits tight against a wall, a machine frame, or a ceiling and a straight fitting would force the cord into a sharp bend right at the strain relief. The 2687 is a right angle cord connector for exactly that situation. Where you have clearance behind or below the box, a straight connector is simpler and cheaper.
3) Will a single Thomas & Betts 2687 connector cover a range of cord sizes or do I need one per cable diameter?
One part number covers one band, .87 to 1.02 inches of cord OD. If you are terminating a mix of cord sizes on the same panel, you will need separate connectors sized to each jacket diameter rather than relying on this one fitting to span them.
4) Can I use the 2687 cord grip on portable cord feeding a motor or machine?
That is the normal use for a liquidtight cord connector like this: it terminates flexible cord into a box or machine enclosure, seals the entry, and provides strain relief so cord movement is not transferred to the terminations. The limit is the cord jacket, which must fall in the .87 to 1.02 inch range, and the 1 inch hub on the equipment.
5) Does the Thomas & Betts 2687 come in more than one configuration?
No. It is a single catalog item, model 2687, in black nylon, 1 inch, 90 degree, for .87 to 1.02 inch cord. There are no finish or size options to select against it.
