Arlington Industries 856 2" Zinc 90° Squeeze Flex Connector

The Arlington Industries 856 is a 2" zinc 90° squeeze connector designed to join flexible metal conduit to boxes, panels, and enclosures at a right angle. The squeeze-type connection mechanism delivers a fast, secure attachment to flexible metal conduit without loose screws working free over time, while the durable zinc body construction stands up to the demands of everyday commercial and industrial electrical work. The 90° body profile lets electricians route flexible conduit into tight spaces where a straight connector will not fit, making the 856 a practical choice for crowded panels, junction boxes, and enclosures on both new construction and renovation projects. This combination of a right-angle body, squeeze-type attachment, and rugged zinc construction gives contractors a dependable way to complete flexible conduit terminations in space-restricted areas.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 2" connector sized for standard flexible metal conduit (FMC) runs.

  • 90° Angle Body: Right-angle profile simplifies routing of flexible conduit into junction boxes, panels, and enclosures where straight runs are not practical.
  • Squeeze-Type Connection: Squeeze connector design provides a fast, secure attachment to flexible metal conduit without loose set-screws or additional hardware.
  • Space-Saving Design: Compact 90° body helps conserve valuable space inside crowded boxes, panels, and enclosures.

Arlington Industries ARL852 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Arlington 90 degree squeeze flex connector come in?
Three trade sizes: 3/4 inch (model 852), 1-1/2 inch (model 855), and 2 inch (model 856). Pick the size that matches the flexible metal conduit you are terminating, not the knockout you are landing in.
2) Will this Arlington connector work with flexible metal conduit, or is it for EMT?
It is a flexible metal conduit (FMC) fitting. The squeeze mechanism clamps the flex spiral; it is not an EMT connector and should not be used on rigid tubing. For EMT you need a set-screw or compression EMT connector instead.
3) When should I use a 90 degree flex connector instead of a straight one?
Use the right-angle body when the flex has to turn immediately at the box and a straight connector would force a wide sweep you do not have room for. Typical cases are crowded panels, junction boxes tight to a wall or ceiling, and enclosures where the conduit has to drop or run flat against the surface. If you have clearance for a normal bend radius, a straight connector is simpler and cheaper.
4) What is the difference between a squeeze connector and a set-screw flex connector?
A squeeze fitting clamps the flex between a saddle and the body as you tighten, gripping the convolutions all the way around rather than biting at one point like a set screw. Arlington's version uses that squeeze mechanism so there are no loose set screws to back out over time, and no separate hardware to keep track of on the job.
5) Is the Arlington 856 flex connector suitable for damp or corrosive commercial environments?
The body is zinc, which gives it corrosion resistance and strength for routine commercial and industrial work. For wet locations or liquidtight flexible conduit you need a liquidtight fitting with a sealing gland, which this squeeze connector is not.
6) Does the Arlington 852 or 856 connector include a locknut for the box knockout?
The squeeze connector body and its clamp hardware are what you get; the description does not include a locknut as part of the fitting. Plan on the locknut you normally use for the knockout size, and verify the knockout matches the trade size of the connector you order (3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch, or 2 inch).
