FAQs
The 1713DC is a straight, squeeze-type connector designed for FMC conduit terminations. It accepts a 2" trade size and features an insulated zinc die-cast housing, delivering a secure, reliable connection in control panels and equipment enclosures where space is limited and wiring density is high.
The 1713DC aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. UL certification documents are available for this connector family, supporting regulatory compliance and product traceability in North American installations.
No, the 1713DC is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. For outdoor or hazardous environments, additional enclosures or protective measures are required, and alternative configurations should be considered to maintain safety and compliance.
The squeeze-type design eliminates the need for separate locknuts, speeding installation and reducing field rework. It delivers a secure grip on FMC conduit even in tight spaces, improving panel throughput and reducing the risk of loosening over time in vibrating machinery and high-cycle applications.
Labor savings come from faster terminations and fewer reworks, while the rugged zinc die-cast housing resists wear in production settings. Regular maintenance is simplified by consistent insulation and a durable, compliant design, supporting longer service life and lower lifecycle costs in control panels and equipment wiring.
