FAQs
The 1722DC supports a 4 inch trade size for FMC conduit and is a straight, insulated squeeze-type connector. To install, align the FMC conduit with the connector, insert fully, and operate the squeeze mechanism to secure the grip. The zinc die cast body provides a durable, high- integrity termination suitable for control panels.
The 1722DC is designed for NEC/CEC compliance in ordinary/non-hazardous locations and carries UL Canada certification support for FMC connectors. Canadian certification details are available through UL listings (e.g., AWSX7.E19188 pages) and Eaton documentation, ensuring cross-border regulatory alignment for panel assemblies.
Yes. The 1722DC is purpose-built for FMC conduit in straight, insulated terminations, making it well-suited for control panels and machine wiring. Its durable zinc die cast body and insulated design enhance reliability under vibration and temperature variation typical of automation environments.
In addition to NEC/CEC standards, the 1722DC is supported by UL Canada certification listings for FMC connectors. The Canadian certification pages (e.g., AWSX.E19188) confirm suitability for Canadian installations, while NEC/CEC compliance covers US and other North American use in ordinary locations.
The squeeze-type mechanism enables faster, more reliable terminations with fewer adjustments, reducing installation time and rework. Its insulated, corrosion-resistant zinc die cast body lowers maintenance costs and downtime, contributing to a favorable ROI in panel builds and ongoing automation maintenance.
