Steel City XC241-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Steel City XC241 connector work with both armored cable (AC/BX) and flexible metal conduit?
Yes. The XC241 is a screw-in connector for AC, flex, and DC, so it terminates armored cable (BX), flexible metal conduit (Greenfield), and MC-type runs at a 1/2 inch trade size. One fitting covers all three, which is why it gets stocked as a general-purpose box termination rather than a cable-specific one.
2) How does a screw-in AC/flex connector install compared to a squeeze or duplex clamp type?
The screw-in style threads directly onto the spiral of the armor or flex, so the cable is gripped by the convolutions rather than by a clamp saddle and screws. It goes faster in the hand and there is no clamp screw to back out, but it only works on spiral-wound armor or flex, not on nonmetallic cable. For Romex/NM you need a clamp or snap-in NM connector instead.
3) What is the Steel City XC241 connector body made of?
Zinc die cast. That's the standard material for AC and flex fittings in dry indoor work, boxes and panel terminations; it is not a raintight or wet-location fitting, so for outdoor or damp runs use a liquidtight connector rated for it.
4) Can I buy the Steel City XC241 as a single piece, or only in a bag?
Three ways: a single each (XC241-1), a 5-piece bag (XC241-5), or the standard pack under XC241. Pricing unit is each, so counter pickups for a one-off repair and bagged quantities for a panel or tenant fit-out both work.
5) Does the XC241 connector come with a locknut?
The XC241 is catalogued as the connector itself. If your box prep needs one, order locknuts separately, and add an anti-short bushing for the armored cable end per normal AC practice.
6) Who makes the Steel City XC241 and where is it manufactured?
It's a Steel City fitting, part number XC241, manufactured in India. Distributors matching a bid line should spec it by that exact number, since the -1 and -5 suffixes only denote packaging, not a different fitting.
