Thomas & Betts 2434 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable size range does the Thomas & Betts 2434 watertight connector accept?
The 2434 is built for oval cable and covers two ranges: .43 x .675 inch and .555 x .8 inch. Measure the minor and major axis of your jacket, not just one dimension, since oval cable that fits on the narrow axis can still be too wide on the other and the sealing gland won't close on it.
2) What size hub or knockout does the Thomas & Betts 2434 connector thread into?
It's a 1 inch connector, so it lands in a 1 inch threaded hub or a 1 inch knockout in a box, enclosure or fitting. If your enclosure is punched for 1/2 or 3/4, you'd either need a reducing washer set or a different connector size.
3) Will a Thomas & Betts 2434 connector work on round cable, like SO cord?
No. The 2434 is a watertight connector for oval cable, and its gland is shaped to grip the flat-sided jacket. Round cord seated in an oval gland won't seal evenly around the circumference. For round SO or SJO cord, use a round-cable watertight strain relief cord connector in the matching 1 inch hub size.
4) Is the Thomas & Betts 2434 cord connector metal or plastic?
Metal. The body is zinc die cast with a metallic finish, so it's the choice where a nylon connector would be at risk from impact or heat on a machine or pump feed. Zinc die cast also carries a mechanical bond through the fitting rather than relying on a separate path around a nonmetallic body.
5) Does the Thomas & Betts 2434 provide strain relief as well as a watertight seal?
Both. It's a strain relief connector that clamps the cable jacket so pulling force is taken by the fitting instead of the terminations inside the box, and the gland compresses on the oval jacket for a watertight entry. That combination is what you want on cord-connected motors, pumps, and portable equipment where the cable gets tugged and the enclosure sees washdown.
