- Heavy-Duty Design - Built for demanding industrial environments
Technical Specifications
This professional connector accommodates 3" flexible metal conduit (FMC) with malleable iron construction for maximum durability. 90° angle configuration provides directional flexibility while non-insulated design maintains electrical grounding continuity. Clamp type connection method ensures reliable mechanical attachment meeting NEC/CEC requirements for FMC installations.
Installation Process
- Thread connector onto electrical box or enclosure hub
- Insert flexible metal conduit into connector opening
- Position conduit to achieve desired 90° routing angle
- Tighten clamp mechanism to secure FMC connection
- Verify secure mechanical attachment and proper grounding
- Complete installation per NEC/CEC FMC requirements
Applications
Ideal for:
- Industrial Machinery - Motor connections requiring flexible positioning
- Equipment Vibration Isolation - Protecting electrical connections from mechanical stress
- Tight Space Installations - Where rigid conduit cannot accommodate routing
- Directional Changes - 90° turns in electrical conduit systems
- Commercial HVAC - Flexible connections to rotating equipment
- Manufacturing Facilities - Heavy-duty FMC applications
FMC System Benefits
Flexible Metal Conduit provides essential advantages in dynamic environments: accommodates equipment movement and vibration, allows routing in confined spaces where rigid conduit isn't practical, provides excellent mechanical protection for conductors, and offers installation flexibility while maintaining code-compliant electrical grounding when properly installed with appropriate connectors.
