Arlington Industries BT50 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arlington BT50 connector work with 12/2 and 10/3 Romex?
Yes. The BT50 covers a 14/2 through 8/3 NM cable range, so 12/2, 12/3, 10/2 and 10/3 Romex all fall inside it. It goes into a 1/2 inch trade size knockout on a box, panel or enclosure.
2) What size knockout does the Arlington BT50 NM connector fit?
It drops into a standard 1/2 inch trade size knockout, the common opening on residential panels and junction boxes. If your knockout is 3/4 inch or 1 inch, order the BT75 instead.
3) Do I need the BT50 or the BT75 for 6/2 service-side cable?
Use the BT75. The BT50 stops at 8/3 on a 1/2 inch knockout, while the BT75 is built for 3/4 inch and 1 inch openings with an 8/2 to 6/2 wire range, which is where heavier feeders like range and subpanel runs land.
4) Can I use the BT50 connector with metal-clad (MC) or armored cable?
No. The BT50 is a non-metallic cable connector, made for NM sheathed Romex-type cable only. MC or AC armored cable needs a connector rated for that cable type, not an NM fitting.
5) Is the Arlington BT50 steel or plastic?
Steel. The body is steel rather than nylon or plastic, which gives a metal-to-metal contact at the box entry and holds up better to handling in a panel full of home runs.
6) What is the Arlington part number for the 1/2 inch NM cable connector?
The 1/2 inch version is Arlington Industries BT50. The larger 3/4 inch and 1 inch version is BT75.
7) Is the BT50 suitable for commercial work or only houses?
Both, within its scope. Arlington lists it for residential branch-circuit wiring and light commercial installs, in new construction and remodel work, terminating NM cable at panels, junction boxes and other enclosures.
