Steel City XC 842 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable does the Steel City XC 842 connector work with?
The XC 842 is a 3/4 inch screw-in connector for AC (armored cable), flexible metal conduit, and DC cable, with an insulated throat. The screw-in design threads into the cable spiral rather than clamping it, so it is meant for those spiral-wound cable and flex types, not for EMT or rigid conduit.
2) What trade size knockout does the Steel City XC 842 fit?
It is a 3/4 inch trade size fitting, so it lands in a 3/4 inch knockout in a panel, box, or enclosure and takes a 3/4 inch locknut on the inside.
3) Is the XC 842 connector UL listed?
Yes. Steel City lists the XC 842 under UL file E23018.
4) Does the XC 842 have an insulated throat for THHN conductors?
It does. The XC 842 is an insulated-throat connector, which is what inspectors look for when conductors pull through the fitting into a box and you want to protect the insulation at the edge.
5) Should I use a screw-in connector like the XC 842 or a squeeze/clamp type connector?
A screw-in connector threads directly into the convolutions of the armor or flex, which makes it fast on repetitive terminations and keeps the profile compact where box space is tight. A squeeze or clamp connector uses a saddle and screws and is the usual pick when you want one fitting to cover a range of cable diameters. The XC 842 is the screw-in type at 3/4 inch with an insulated throat.
6) What is the XC 842 connector made of, and is it OK in a damp location?
The body is zinc die cast. That is a standard indoor/dry-location connector material for AC and flex terminations; it is not a listed raintight or wet-location fitting, so for exposed outdoor work use a fitting specifically listed for that.
7) Is the Steel City XC 842 sold individually or only by the box?
It is sold each, so you can buy the exact count a job needs rather than a full carton. It is made in the United States.
