Feature → Business Impact → Application: The squeeze-type design provides a secure, tight grip on FMC conduit, reducing loosening over time and improving long-term reliability in machine controls and panel assemblies. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer field failures during start-up or routine operation. Application: Ideal for straight FMC connections in control panels and equipment enclosures where space is constrained and insulation is required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Malleable iron construction offers rugged durability against impact and vibration, supporting installations in manufacturing floors and outdoor-rated enclosures. This reduces replacement cycles and downtime in harsh environments. Application: Suitable for washdown areas and non-hazardous locations where physical wear is a concern. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Insulated, 3/8" trade size delivers consistent electrical performance with straightforward compatibility to standard FMC fittings and accessories, promoting faster installation and more reliable terminations. Application: Useful in motor control centers, panel boards, and junction boxes with limited clearance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance paired with ordinary/non-hazardous area classification provides confidence for compliance teams and procurement managers, speeding project sign-offs. Application: Corporate offices, light manufacturing, and distribution facilities that require standard electrical installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Catalogued as 1707 with precise dimensions (1.5 in length, 1.63 in height and width) and a light weight of 0.09 lb, enabling predictable fit in compact spaces and easier handling on site. Application: Retrofit projects and upgrade paths where existing FMC layouts demand compact, compatible connectors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Clean, straight connector geometry simplifies alignment during installation, reducing tool-time and potential cross-threading or misalignment issues. Application: Panel and enclosure wiring runs in automation lines and packaging equipment.
