The squeeze-type design delivers a secure termination that resists loosening under vibration, reducing field retightening and downtime. This directly lowers maintenance costs and improves reliability for FMC conduit runs in industrial panels. It is ideal for straight FMC connections in compact spaces where quick, dependable terminations are essential, and it supports faster installation with minimal tool time. The zinc die-cast body provides rugged mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, extending service life in non-hazardous environments. The insulated construction protects conductors from incidental contact and environmental exposure, supporting safer, code-compliant installations. This combination aligns with NEC/CEC expectations, reduces risk of live conductors, and simplifies compliance documentation for audits. With a length of 1.98 in and a width and height of 1.78 in, plus a light 0.23 lb weight, the 1711DC fits easily in crowded panels and tight FMC runs. The straight connector style simplifies alignment with 1-1/4 inch trade-size conduit and existing fittings, enabling faster assemblies and less field rework. This compatibility supports streamlined procurement for Eaton Crouse-Hinds FMC ecosystems and reduces inventory complexity. Compliance is supported by NEC/CEC standards and ordinary/non-hazardous area classification, delivering regulatory assurance for a broad range of facilities. The connector integrates with the Eaton Crouse-Hinds FMC family, improving installation consistency and reducing compatibility gaps across projects. Documentation availability, including Eaton specification sheets and UL certification references, helps engineering teams validate performance quickly. Real-world deployments report lower maintenance intervals and reduced labor costs due to secure terminations and robust materials. By standardizing on the 1711DC, procurement teams enjoy consistent vendor pricing and easier stocking of 1-1/4 inch FMC components. Field teams gain confidence from familiar Eaton engineering, better warranty coverage, and predictable performance across conduit networks.
