FAQs
The Eaton 1714 squeeze type FMC connector is designed for straightforward installation with standard FMC cables. Begin by confirming conduit size 2-1/2" and ensuring clean, deburred conduit ends. Align the connector with the FMC run, apply appropriate compression or squeezing force per the Eaton spec sheet, and verify a secure, insulated seal. Local torque guidance and cross-reference with the Crouse-Hinds FMC catalog page will help ensure repeatable results across panels and enclosures.
The 1714 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This makes it suitable for non-hazardous industrial control panel installations. UL certification documents are available to validate compliance for specific market regions. When selecting for a project, verify the UL listings and NEC/CEC requirements relevant to your jurisdiction to streamline approvals and avoid last-minute redesigns.
Yes. The 1714 is specifically rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, aligning with NEC/CEC protocols. Its insulated malleable iron construction offers reliable protection in typical factory or workshop settings and reduces the risk of moisture and corrosion-related failures. For projects with stricter environmental criteria, consult the certifications and product datasheets to confirm suitability.
Common objections include difficulty achieving a secure termination in tight spaces and managing a complex inventory. The 1714’s straight, squeeze-style design simplifies alignment in crowded enclosures, while the 2-1/2" trade size and 3 in length provide a predictable footprint. The insulated malleable iron housing adds durable protection, reducing rework and maintenance costs over the equipment lifecycle.
Using the 1714 can lower lifecycle costs through faster installations, reduced rework due to secure terminations, and longer service life from a robust housing. The product’s NEC/CEC compliance minimizes compliance-related delays, and UL data supports regulatory audits. Overall, the combination of durability, ease of installation, and certified performance translates into lower maintenance and labor costs over time.
