Steel City XC240-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable types does the Steel City XC240 3/8 inch screw-in connector work with?
The XC240 is a 3/8 inch screw-in connector for AC (armored cable), flexible metal conduit, and DC cable. One connector body covers all three, which is why it's a common bin item for panel and branch-circuit work rather than stocking a separate fitting per cable type.
2) What size knockout does a 3/8 inch AC/flex screw-in connector go into?
The XC240 is a 3/8 inch trade size fitting, which lands in the standard 1/2 inch knockout found on outlet boxes, panels, and switch boxes. If your box has a 3/8 inch AC-sized opening, that is the same trade designation this connector carries.
3) Is the Steel City XC240 connector steel or zinc?
Zinc die cast. That matters for dry interior work, where the die cast body gives you the bonding path and thread strength without the cost of a malleable iron fitting. For wet or corrosive locations, look for a fitting specifically rated for that environment instead.
4) Can I buy the Steel City XC240 as a single piece or do I have to take a bag?
Both. The XC240 sells by the each (MPN XC240-1), in a 5 piece bag (XC240-5), and in the standard manufacturer pack (XC 240). Selling unit is each, so a one-off service call doesn't force you into a full bag.
5) How does a screw-in connector like the XC240 differ from a squeeze or set-screw connector?
A screw-in connector threads directly onto the spiral of the armor or flex, so you're twisting the fitting onto the cable rather than clamping it with a saddle and screws. It's faster in tight boxes and takes fewer tools. A set-screw or squeeze type is what you'd reach for when you need to land the fitting on a cable end that's already dressed in place or when the spec calls for that clamp style.
