Thomas & Betts 2216 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cord outside diameter range does the Thomas & Betts 2216 cord connector clamp?
The 2216 handles cord with an outside diameter of .750 to .875 inch. If your cord measures larger, step up to the 2217, which covers .875 to .985 inch. Measure the jacket OD, not the conductor size, since the grip seals on the outer jacket.
2) What hub size do these Thomas & Betts 45 degree liquid-tight cord connectors have?
Both the 2216 and 2217 are 1 inch trade size fittings, so they thread into a 1 inch hub or knockout on the box or enclosure.
3) Can I use this on a wet location or washdown enclosure?
The 2216 and 2217 are liquid-tight cord connectors, so the grip compresses a sealing bushing onto the cord jacket to keep water out of the enclosure. The seal depends on the cord actually falling inside the clamp range, .750 to .875 inch on the 2216 and .875 to .985 inch on the 2217. A cord at the small end of a too-large grip will not seal.
4) Do I order the 2216 or the 2217?
The only difference is the cord range. Order 2216 for .750 to .875 inch cord OD and 2217 for .875 to .985 inch. Both are 1 inch, 45 degree, malleable iron. If your measurement lands right at .875 inch, either will accept it, but take the 2216 if the jacket is at or just under that figure and the 2217 if it is over.
5) Is the body of this 1 inch cord grip metal or plastic?
Malleable iron with a metallic finish, not nylon or plastic. That matters on machine tools, pumps, and conveyors where the fitting takes impact or abrasion, and it keeps the metallic raceway path continuous rather than introducing a plastic break.
6) Is a cord connector the same thing as a liquid-tight conduit fitting?
No. These are cord grips, meant to terminate and seal around flexible portable cord entering a box or enclosure, and they provide strain relief on the cord. A liquid-tight conduit connector terminates liquid-tight flexible metal or nonmetallic conduit instead, and it will not clamp or seal a bare cord jacket. If you are landing SO or SOOW cord into a disconnect or junction box, the 2216 or 2217 is the right family of part.
