Steel City XK 242 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable types does the Steel City XK 242 screw-in coupling work with?
The XK 242 is a screw-in coupling for armored cable (AC), flexible metal conduit, and DC cable, in the 3/4 inch trade size. Screw-in style means the fitting threads into the cable convolutions rather than clamping over them, so it is used where the cable spiral will accept a screw-in fitting.
2) Is the Steel City XK 242 coupling UL listed?
Yes. The XK 242 carries UL file E23018, so it can be specified on jobs where listed fittings are required for armored cable and flexible metal conduit connections.
3) Do I need a coupling or a connector for joining two runs of 3/4 flex?
A coupling is what you want for splicing flex to flex or AC to AC in a run. The XK 242 is a 3/4 inch coupling, so it joins two cable ends to each other. If you are terminating into a box or enclosure instead, you need a connector with a locknut, not this part.
4) What is the Steel City XK 242 coupling made of, and can it go outdoors or in damp areas?
The body is zinc die cast. That is a standard indoor, dry-location material for AC and flex fittings; the XK 242 is not rated as a raintight or wet-location fitting, so for exterior or damp runs use a fitting specifically listed for that service.
5) Is the Steel City XK 242 sold individually or by the box?
It is sold each, so order the exact count you need for the job rather than a carton quantity.
