• Professional Grade Rating - Suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations in commercial and industrial applications
• Reliable Grounding - Non-insulated design maintains electrical continuity through the raceway system

Technical Specifications

This 3/4" trade size FMC connector features malleable iron construction with non-insulated throat design for continuous grounding. The 90-degree angle configuration measures 2.44" in length, 1.13" in height, and 0.75" in width, weighing 0.31 pounds. The clamp-type connection method provides secure attachment to flexible metal conduit systems while meeting NEC/CEC compliance standards for ordinary/non-hazardous location installations.

Installation Process

1. Strip flexible metal conduit armor to expose conductors according to connector requirements
2. Insert conduit end into the clamp mechanism ensuring proper seating against the connector body
3. Tighten clamp screws evenly to secure conduit without over-compression that could damage the armor
4. Thread connector into electrical enclosure or junction box using appropriate thread engagement
5. Verify mechanical connection integrity and proper grounding continuity through the assembly
6. Complete conductor connections according to circuit requirements and local electrical codes

Applications

Perfect for:

• Motor Control Centers - Right-angle connections to variable frequency drives and motor starters
• Equipment Connections - HVAC units, pumps, and industrial machinery requiring flexible conduit transitions
• Panel Board Installations - Space-saving connections in crowded electrical distribution panels
• Junction Box Applications - Directional changes in conduit runs within confined enclosure spaces
• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail facilities, and institutional electrical systems
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy-duty electrical installations
• Maintenance Applications - Equipment modifications and electrical system upgrades requiring directional flexibility
• Retrofit Projects - Existing installations where space constraints require right-angle conduit connections

Flexible Metal Conduit System Benefits

FMC connectors provide essential flexibility for equipment connections subject to vibration or thermal expansion while maintaining secure mechanical and electrical connections. The 90-degree configuration eliminates the need for separate elbow fittings, reducing connection points and potential failure modes in the raceway system. This integrated approach improves system reliability while reducing installation complexity and material costs.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron offers superior strength and durability compared to standard steel fittings, with enhanced impact resistance and dimensional stability under mechanical stress. The material's inherent toughness prevents cracking or deformation during installation and service, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding commercial and industrial environments. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this connector delivers the professional-grade performance that electrical contractors trust for critical installations.
