Eaton 1713 Squeeze Type Connector - FMC, Malleable Iron
Part Number: 1713
Quick Summary
The Eaton 1713 Squeeze Type Connector is a rugged FMC joint designed for straight connections in industrial wiring enclosures. Maintaining reliable, leak-free electrical terminations in harsh environments can be challenging without properly rated connectors. This solution complies with NEC/CEC standards and offers ordinary/non-hazardous location suitability, giving confidence in safety and uptime. Compatibility with FMC conduit and insulated malleable iron bodies reduces inventory needs while streamlining installation in control panels. Engineers will appreciate the straight connector geometry for quick field assembly and predictable sealing. With a 2-inch trade size and insulated malleable iron construction, it withstands vibration and thermal cycling. This supports longer service life and lower maintenance.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 1713
Feature: Squeeze-type connector design in the Eaton Crouse-Hinds series uses a malleable iron body to deliver a tight, vibration-resistant seal. Business Impact: This reduces field re-termination risk, lowers maintenance costs, and improves uptime in equipment subject to vibration and thermal cycling. Application: Ideal for FMC conduit terminations in control panels and machine enclosures across manufacturing lines. Feature: Insulated, straight configuration simplifies alignment and installation by providing clear seating for the FMC conductor. Business Impact: Faster assembly, reduced operator error, and lower labor costs on large-scale panel builds. Application: Suitable for straight FMC connections in motor drives, presses, and packaging equipment. Feature: 2 inch trade size and precise overall dimensions support compact, repeatable terminations. Business Impact: Enables standardized inventory and easier field replacements. Application: Use in 2" FMC terminations within industrial automation panels. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area rating give clear regulatory alignment. Business Impact: Reduces risk of non-compliance penalties and simplifies safety documentation. Application: Enclosures and wiring in non-hazardous industrial locations. Feature: Availability of catalog pages and manufacturer specification sheets, including 1713 data and FMC catalog references. Business Impact: Improves procurement confidence and speeds engineering approvals. Application: Design-browse for integrations in panel layouts.

FAQs
To install the 1713, insert the FMC conduit into the insulated, straight connector body, align seating, and secure with the squeeze mechanism to achieve a tight seal. Verify the conductors are properly seated and tighten to the established torque guidelines. This process minimizes leakage paths and ensures vibration resistance in control panels.
The 1713 is designed for 2 inch trade size FMC conduit with an insulated, malleable iron body. It pairs with standard FMC fittings in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, providing a consistent mechanical and electrical termination. When selecting, confirm conduit diameter compatibility and enclosure tolerance to ensure a proper fit and seal.
Yes. The 1713 is specified to comply with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This alignment supports regulatory compliance, safe operation, and smoother documentation for panel assembly, installation, and maintenance across industrial facilities.
The insulated, straight design simplifies alignment, enabling faster field assembly and reducing mis-wiring risk. Its malleable iron body offers robust mechanical strength and vibration resistance, which lowers rework and maintenance costs. This results in shorter project timelines and more reliable terminations in machine control panels and enclosures.
