Steel City XC 272 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable does the Steel City XC 272 squeeze connector work with?
The XC 272 is a squeeze-type connector for armored cable (AC), flexible metal conduit, and metal-clad cable (MC/DC style). The cable slips into the throat, and the saddle clamp is tightened down over it with the clamp screws rather than using a set screw against the cable armor.
2) What trade size is the Steel City XC 272 connector?
It is a 3/4 inch connector, so the threaded hub fits a 3/4 inch knockout in a box, panel, or enclosure and takes a standard 3/4 inch locknut on the inside.
3) What is the Steel City XC 272 made of, and can I use it outdoors or in a wet location?
The body is zinc die cast. A squeeze connector of this style is not a raintight or liquidtight fitting, so keep it to dry indoor locations. For wet or damp work you need a liquidtight connector rated for that use, not this one.
4) Should I use a squeeze connector like the XC 272 or a set screw connector?
Both land AC or flex into a knockout. The squeeze design on the XC 272 clamps the cable between a saddle and the body, spreading the grip around the armor, which many electricians prefer on MC and AC where a set screw can bite through the convolutions. A set screw connector is faster to run and generally cheaper per fitting. For 3/4 inch AC, flex, or MC terminations in dry indoor work, the XC 272 does the job.
5) Is the Steel City XC 272 sold individually or by the box?
It is sold each, so one connector per unit ordered. If you are roughing in a job, count your 3/4 inch AC and flex terminations and order that quantity.
6) Does the XC 272 come with a locknut?
Steel City catalogs the XC 272 as a 3/4 inch squeeze connector for AC, flex, and MC cable. Plan on having 3/4 inch locknuts on hand for the box side of each termination, plus an insulating throat bushing if your local inspection practice calls for one on armored cable.
