Steel City XC242-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable types does the Steel City XC242 connector work with?
The XC242 is a screw-in connector for AC (armored cable), flexible metal conduit, and DC cable, in the 3/4 inch trade size. One fitting covers all three, which is why it shows up in mixed-cable rough-ins instead of stocking separate connectors for BX and flex.
2) Is the Steel City XC242 a set screw fitting or does it thread into the cable?
It's a screw-in type, meaning the connector body threads into the spiral of the armor or flex rather than clamping it with a set screw or a two-screw saddle clamp. Installation is faster, but the cable end has to be cut square and the armor left intact enough for the threads to bite. If you need a clamp-style fitting for a damaged or irregular cable end, a screw-in connector is the wrong choice.
3) What is the Steel City XC242 connector body made of?
Zinc die cast. That's the standard material for dry, indoor commercial and residential work, boxes and panels inside the building envelope. It is not a wet-location or corrosive-environment fitting.
4) Can I buy the Steel City XC242 as a single piece or only in a bag?
Three ways: a single each, a 2-piece bag (MPN XC242-2), or the standard factory pack. The single each is MPN XC242-1. Small counts suit a service or punch-list call; the standard pack makes more sense for a rough-in where you're landing dozens of cables.
