Manufactured from steel and finished with an insulated throat, this straight-style connector is UL Listed and CSA Certified, making it a dependable choice for commercial, industrial, and light-industrial electrical work. Because it ships in a bulk pack of 100, the 3512RAC is well suited for contractors, panel shops, and electrical distributors who need a reliable, code-compliant liquidtight connector on hand for high-volume installations.
Key Features
- Trade Size: Sized at 1/2 in. to match common flexible metal conduit runs used in branch-circuit wiring and equipment hookups.
- Durable Steel Construction: Built from steel for a rugged, long-lasting connector that stands up to the demands of commercial and industrial job sites.
- Straight Configuration: The straight body style allows for simple, inline conduit terminations where a 90-degree body isn't required, keeping installations compact.
- Liquidtight/FMC Compatibility: Engineered for use with Flexible Metal Conduit (Liquidtight) systems, providing a secure mechanical connection between conduit and enclosure.
- Insulated Throat: The insulated design helps guard conductor insulation from abrasion as wires are pulled through the connector.

RACO 3512RAC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the RACO 3512RAC suitable for wet or damp location conduit terminations?
Yes. It's a liquidtight straight connector, UL Listed and CSA Certified, and the description calls out wet and damp location conduit terminations among its typical applications. The liquidtight seal is what keeps moisture out of the raceway at the enclosure, which is the reason to use this style rather than a plain FMC connector in an exposed or washdown area.
2) Do I need an insulated throat connector, and does the 3512RAC have one?
The 3512RAC has an insulated throat. That matters any time you're pulling conductors through the fitting, since the insulating ring keeps the wire jacket off the metal edge during the pull and in service. Many jurisdictions and specs call for an insulated throat or a bushing on metal raceway terminations, and this connector satisfies that without adding a separate bushing.
3) Can a Bridgeport Mighty-Seal 597-DC2 be used in place of the RACO 3512RAC liquidtight connector?
No, they terminate different wiring methods. The RACO 3512RAC is a 1/2 in. straight liquidtight connector for flexible metal conduit, built from steel with an insulated throat. The Bridgeport Fittings 597-DC2 is a Mighty-Seal connector for 3/4 in. PVC-jacketed MC/TECK cable in zinc, so it lands a jacketed cable rather than a liquidtight conduit run, and it is a 3/4 in. trade size rather than 1/2 in. If the run entering the enclosure is liquidtight flexible metal conduit at 1/2 in., the 3512RAC is the fitting that matches it.
4) Should I use a straight liquidtight connector or a 90 degree one?
Straight is the right call when the conduit approaches the enclosure in line with the knockout and you have room behind the box for the bend radius of the flex. Use a 90 degree body instead when the conduit has to turn hard at the enclosure, such as tight behind a panel or against a wall, where a straight body would force too sharp a bend on the liquidtight. The 3512RAC is the straight configuration, which keeps the termination compact for inline runs.
5) How many RACO 3512RAC connectors come in a box?
They ship 100 pieces per pack. That bulk quantity suits panel shops, service trucks, and MRO storerooms stocking a standard 1/2 inch liquidtight termination, but it does mean the smallest order is a hundred fittings rather than a handful.
6) Is the RACO 3512RAC steel or zinc die cast, and does that affect where I can use it?
Steel. A steel body holds up better to impact and mechanical abuse than a die cast fitting, which is why it's specified for commercial and industrial work. Pair it with the conduit and locknut appropriate to the enclosure, and keep in mind that steel fittings in corrosive or chemical environments generally want a protective coating or a non-ferrous alternative.
7) What part number do I order for a 1/2 inch RACO insulated liquidtight straight connector?
Order RACO 3512RAC. That's the manufacturer part number for the 1/2 inch insulated steel liquidtight straight connector, supplied 100 to a pack. There are no finish or configuration options to specify with it.
8) Is there a spec sheet for the RACO 3512RAC?
Yes, RACO publishes a spec sheet for the 3512RAC at hubbellcdn.com/specsheet/RACO-3512RAC-SPEC-EN.pdf. Useful if a submittal package needs the manufacturer document showing the UL Listing and CSA Certification on the fitting.
