Eaton 1715 Squeeze Connector - FMC
Part Number: 1715
Quick Summary
The Eaton 1715 Squeeze Connector provides secure FMC connections for industrial control panels and equipment enclosures. Tight spaces and misaligned fittings often drive installation delays and runoff costs, but this connector is designed to simplify mounting and alignment. It carries NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification context for safer, regulated installations in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. By combining rugged malleable iron construction with a straight, insulated squeeze design, it delivers reliable performance in demanding environments while reducing maintenance cycles. This solution also aligns with broader FMC conduit strategies and spares teams from juggling multiple adapter options in tight fixtures.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The squeeze-type design delivers quick, secure terminations, reducing installation time and labor costs on busy factory floors. This translates to faster panel builds and improved project timelines in FMC conduit systems. Application notes include straight connector geometry and 3-inch trade size suitable for control panels and equipment housings that require robust, non-hazardous location fittings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Malleable iron construction provides superior mechanical strength, improving long-term durability in harsh environments and minimizing replacement cycles in industrial plants. Application notes include compatibility with FMC conduit and insulated fittings, ideal for outdoor or damp locations where corrosion resistance is essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance and ORD/Non-Hazardous classification reduce regulatory risk, simplify procurement, and streamline audits across multi-site operations. Application notes include UL certification references and standard-conforming connectors for data and power distribution trunks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 3.25 in length and 3.875 in height provide predictable footprint for panel interiors, enabling consistent spacing and easier routing of cables in compact enclosures. Application notes include layout planning for dense electrical assemblies. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Straight connector geometry limits bending radii requirements and improves termination accessibility, enhancing installation ergonomics in panel fabrication and field retrofits. Application notes include compatibility with standard FMC components and existing Crouse-Hinds catalog offerings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Insulated design supports electrical safety by preventing incidental contact with live conductors, aiding compliance in restricted spaces and maintenance zones. Application notes include use in ordinary/non-hazardous environments where insulation is mandatory.
