• Grounding Continuity - Non-insulated design ensures proper equipment grounding path
• Professional Grade Rating - Engineered for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with long-term reliability

Technical Specifications

This 2-inch trade size squeeze connector features zinc die cast construction for maximum corrosion resistance and dimensional stability. The 90-degree angle configuration measures 5.4 inches in length, 4.82 inches in width, and 4.41 inches in height, with a total weight of 1.19 pounds. The non-insulated throat design maintains electrical continuity while the squeeze-type connection mechanism provides secure attachment to flexible metal conduit without requiring threading tools. Suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and compliant with NEC/CEC standards for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify proper conduit size and connector compatibility before beginning installation
2. Insert flexible metal conduit fully into the squeeze connector throat until properly seated
3. Apply firm, even pressure to activate the squeeze mechanism and secure the conduit connection
4. Thread the connector into the electrical enclosure or junction box using appropriate thread engagement
5. Verify secure mechanical connection by gently testing the conduit attachment
6. Confirm proper grounding continuity through the non-insulated connection

Applications

Perfect for:

• Motor Control Centers - Right angle connections for flexible conduit runs to motor starters and variable frequency drives
• Industrial Equipment - Vibration-resistant connections for machinery and processing equipment installations
• Commercial Electrical Panels - Space-saving 90° connections in crowded electrical rooms and utility areas
• HVAC Systems - Flexible conduit connections for air handling units and rooftop equipment
• Manufacturing Facilities - Reliable connections for production equipment requiring flexible conduit protection
• Maintenance Applications - Retrofit installations where directional changes are required in existing systems
• Equipment Connections - Professional installations requiring both flexibility and secure mechanical connection
• Tight Space Installations - Applications where straight connectors cannot accommodate required conduit routing

Flexible Metal Conduit System Benefits

Flexible metal conduit systems with squeeze connectors provide superior vibration resistance compared to rigid conduit installations. The combination of flexible conduit protection with secure mechanical connections makes these systems ideal for equipment subject to movement or vibration. The 90-degree angle design eliminates the need for additional elbows or complex bending, reducing installation time while maintaining proper support spacing per NEC requirements.
