Thomas & Betts 333 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Thomas & Betts 333 Tite-Bite connector used for?
It's a 90 degree flexible conduit connector for 4 inch flex, non-insulated throat, made of malleable iron. The 90 degree body lets you bring flex into a box or enclosure where there isn't room for a straight connector plus a sweeping bend. Order under manufacturer part number 333.
2) Is the Thomas & Betts 333 connector insulated throat?
No. The 333 is a non-insulated connector. If your installation or inspector calls for an insulated throat on 4 inch flex, you need an insulated-throat version instead of this one.
3) Will the Thomas & Betts 333 work on 3/8 inch MC or AC cable?
No. The 333 is sized for 4 inch flexible conduit, which is a trade size far above small MC/AC cable. For 3/8 inch MC/AC cable use a small cable connector such as the Arlington Industries 380ST Snap2It, or the 407AST Snap2It for 3/8 inch cable into a 3/4 inch knockout.
4) What is the difference between the Thomas & Betts 333 connector and an Arlington SNAP2IT 380ST?
The Thomas & Betts 333 is a 90 degree non-insulated Tite-Bite connector built in malleable iron, so the cable enters at a right angle to the box. The Arlington 380ST is a SNAP2IT snap-in MC/AC cable connector for 3/8 inch cable, supplied in packs of 100, and it is a straight snap-in style rather than an elbow. Choose the 333 where the cable has to turn immediately at the enclosure and a cast iron body is wanted; choose the 380ST for straight runs into a knockout.
5) I need an MC cable connector that drops into a 3/4 inch knockout - is the Thomas & Betts 333 the right part?
No. The Thomas & Betts 333 is a 4 inch 90 degree non-insulated Tite-Bite connector, so it is sized and shaped for a large trade size and an angled entry. For a 3/4 inch knockout with 3/8 inch MC cable, the Arlington 407AST SNAP2IT connector is the match - it is specified for a 3/4 inch knockout and 3/8 inch cable and ships in packs of 100.
6) I need to turn 4 inch flex into a panel right at the knockout. Does the 333 handle that?
That's what the 90 degree body is for. It makes the turn at the enclosure wall, so you don't have to leave clearance behind the panel for a bend radius in the 4 inch flex itself. Throat is non-insulated.
7) Does the Thomas & Betts 333 have an insulated throat like some MC connectors?
No. The 333 is specifically a non-insulated 90 degree Tite-Bite connector in malleable iron, so if the job calls for an insulated throat you need a different fitting. The Arlington SNAP2IT family is the adjacent option for MC/AC cable terminations, with the 380ST covering 3/8 inch MC/AC cable and the 407AST covering 3/8 inch cable into a 3/4 inch knockout.
8) For a 100-unit apartment rough-in, should I standardize on the Thomas & Betts 333 or the Arlington SNAP2IT connectors?
For repetitive 3/8 inch MC branch-circuit terminations, the Arlington SNAP2IT connectors are the ones sold in bulk quantities - the 380ST is a 3/8 inch snap-in MC/AC connector in packs of 100 and the 407AST is a 3/8 inch cable connector for 3/4 inch knockouts, also in packs of 100. The Thomas & Betts 333 is a single-model 4 inch 90 degree non-insulated malleable iron connector, so it fits the larger, occasional angled termination rather than the repeated small-cable work.
9) How do I make sure I'm ordering the right Thomas & Betts flex connector?
Order by part number 333. There's one configuration: 4 inch trade size, 90 degree, non-insulated throat, malleable iron. No finish or size options to pick.
