Arlington Industries 38RAST – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Arlington SNAP2IT retrofit connector work in a box that's already installed and wired in the wall?
That's exactly what the RAST retrofit connector is built for. It's a one-piece snap-in design, so the connector goes into the knockout of an existing (old-work) box from the outside with no tools and no locknut, which means you don't need access to the inside of the box. Standard connectors need a locknut spun on inside the enclosure, which is the part that fails you on a retrofit in a finished wall or a crowded panel.
2) What trade sizes do Arlington SNAP2IT RAST cable connectors come in, and which one do I need for 14/2 or 12/2 MC?
Two sizes: 3/8 inch (part 38RAST) and 1/2 inch (40RAST). The 3/8 inch is the usual pick for common 14/2 and 12/2 steel MC and AC/BX branch-circuit cable, and it drops into a standard 1/2 inch box knockout. Step to the 40RAST when the cable is larger diameter or the spec calls for a 1/2 inch trade size fitting.
3) Are Arlington SNAP2IT MC/AC connectors UL listed and approved for use in Canada?
Both listings are carried: cULus and CSA. The cULus mark covers US and Canadian requirements and the CSA listing is separate, so the same part number is acceptable on jobs on either side of the border. That matters for institutional and MRO buyers standardizing one connector across facilities in both countries.
4) Does the Arlington RAST connector have an insulated throat, or do I still need an anti-short bushing?
The RAST connector has an insulated throat built in. The insulated throat is what protects the conductors where they pass the cut end of the armor, so you are not relying on a separate plastic component staying in place. Note this is the connector's own insulation feature, not a substitute for whatever your inspector requires at the cut armor per your local practice.
5) Is the Arlington SNAP2IT connector metal or plastic, and will it hold up in a commercial or industrial panel?
Zinc die-cast, silver finish, all metal. That gives you a fitting that maintains the metallic path through the enclosure wall the way an AC/MC termination needs to, and it takes the handling of a commercial or industrial pull without cracking the way a plastic body can. It's also made in the United States, which is what buyers on domestic-preference or government-funded work need to confirm.
6) Is a snap-in MC connector or a screw-type/setscrew connector better for my job?
Depends on access. A snap-in like the RAST installs from outside the enclosure with no tools and no locknut, so it wins on retrofit work, finished walls, live panels, and any high-count install where labour time is the cost. A setscrew or duplex connector still makes sense when you want to be able to back the cable out later, or when a spec sheet calls out that style. For new-work rough-in where the box is open and you can reach the inside, either style works and the snap-in is simply faster.
7) How many Arlington 38RAST or 40RAST connectors come in a box?
Standard packaging is 25 pieces per unit, so a single order unit of either the 38RAST or the 40RAST gives you 25 connectors. Worth knowing before you count out a job: a device-per-box retrofit on a 40-opening floor is two packs, not one.
8) How much room does an Arlington SNAP2IT connector take up inside a crowded junction box?
The connector body measures 1.390 inches by 1.000 inches. In a shallow old-work box or a packed gutter, that footprint plus the cable bend radius is the real constraint, not the knockout size. Because the snap-in design carries no locknut, there is no separate ring taking up space on the inside face of the box.
9) Can I reuse an Arlington SNAP2IT connector if I pull the cable back out?
Treat it as a one-way fitting. The SNAP2IT is a one-piece snap-in with a locking grip that holds the cable, and both the box-side snap and the cable grip are made to seize, not to release. Order enough spares to cover the terminations you'll redo rather than planning to salvage pulled ones. 25 come per pack, so there's normally slack in the count.
