Technical Specifications

This 4" trade size squeeze connector features zinc die cast construction with a 90-degree angle configuration for flexible metal conduit (FMC) applications. The non-insulated throat design maintains grounding continuity while the precision die casting ensures consistent dimensional tolerances. Product dimensions measure 7.9" width x 7.6" depth x 11.9" height with a weight of 6.42 pounds, providing substantial construction for demanding installations. The fitting complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Verify flexible metal conduit end is cut square and free of sharp edges or burrs
2. Insert conduit fully into the squeeze connector body until it reaches the internal stop
3. Position the 90-degree angle in the desired orientation for your installation
4. Apply firm, even pressure to the squeeze mechanism to secure the conduit connection
5. Verify mechanical connection by gently tugging on the conduit to confirm retention
6. Complete electrical connections at the threaded end using appropriate locknuts and bushings

Applications

Perfect for:

• Motor Control Centers - Right-angle connections from flexible conduit to equipment enclosures
• Industrial Machinery - Vibration-resistant connections for manufacturing equipment and process controls
• Commercial HVAC Systems - Flexible connections to rooftop units and mechanical equipment
• Electrical Panel Connections - Space-saving 90-degree entries into switchgear and distribution panels
• Equipment Interconnections - Flexible conduit runs between stationary electrical equipment
• Retrofit Installations - Adapting existing flexible conduit runs to new equipment orientations
• Maintenance Access Applications - Installations requiring periodic equipment access or repositioning
• Vibration-Prone Environments - Manufacturing facilities, pump stations, and mechanical equipment areas

Flexible Metal Conduit System Benefits

Flexible metal conduit systems with squeeze connectors provide superior installation flexibility compared to rigid conduit methods. The combination allows for equipment vibration isolation, thermal expansion accommodation, and simplified routing around obstacles. This 90-degree connector eliminates the need for multiple fittings and bends, reducing installation time while maintaining code compliance and system integrity.

Why Choose Zinc Die Cast Construction?

Zinc die cast construction offers exceptional dimensional stability and corrosion resistance superior to standard steel fittings. The precision casting process ensures consistent thread quality and fitting tolerances, while the zinc material provides natural corrosion protection. This construction method delivers the strength needed for large 4" installations while maintaining the precision required for professional electrical systems. Trusted by electrical contractors for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds continues to set the standard for professional-grade electrical fittings.
