FAQs
The 1712DC is designed for FMC conduit on straight, squeeze-style fittings. Start by aligning the conduit with the connector, ensure the insulation is seated, and insert until fully engaged. Tighten per standard panel assembly practices and verify a secure grip before enclosure testing. Its 1-1/2" trade size is compatible with common FMC runs, supporting streamlined installation in automation cabinets.
The 1712DC uses zinc die cast construction with an insulated insulator for durable mechanical and electrical performance. It is NEC/CEC compliant and suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, providing reliable continuity and resistance to wear in routine factory environments. Its straight, squeeze design reduces installation variability and reinforces consistent mating with FMC conductors.
Yes. The 1712DC is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is designed for control panels and automation cabinets that require robust FMC connections. Its corrosion-resistant zinc die cast body and insulated construction support long service life in typical industrial environments while simplifying regulatory compliance and panel integration.
The connector aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is documented for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. It also appears in Canadian certification references (UL-based) for FMC connectors, underscoring its regulatory readiness for North American industrial installations and field deployments.
The zinc die cast body provides corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance needs in typical factory environments. The insulated design minimizes arcing risk, improving reliability. Its quick-install squeeze mechanism lowers labor costs and field rework, delivering tangible ROI through faster project completion and fewer downtime events.
