Eaton 708 Squeeze Connector - FMC Straight 1/2 in NEC/CEC
Part Number: 708
Quick Summary
The Eaton 708 Squeeze Connector provides secure FMC terminations for straight connections in non-hazardous industrial environments. Installers often confront leakage, corrosion, or vibration-induced failures when using incompatible connectors, slowing maintenance and driving up costs. It is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, backed by UL certification for FMC connectors to support regulatory compliance. By leveraging malleable iron, non-insulated, 1/2" trade-size construction, it delivers a robust, repeatable squeeze that reduces rework. For OEMs and maintenance teams, this connector aligns with Eaton's Crouse-Hinds ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with FMC conduit and straight fittings while simplifying inventory and field service.

FAQs
Yes. The 708 is designed for FMC conduit with a straight connector profile and 1/2 in trade size, ensuring compatibility with standard FMC fittings and Eaton Crouse-Hinds components. Its non-insulated squeeze style supports straightforward field terminations when matching manufacturer specifications.
The 708 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It also carries UL certification for FMC connectors, which supports regulatory approvals and safer, code-conforming installations across industrial facilities.
Yes. The malleable iron construction provides robust mechanical strength, while the squeeze-type termination offers a secure, repeatable connection that resists loosening under vibration, reducing maintenance intervals and downtime.
Prepare the FMC conduit and terminate in a clean, dry area. Align the connector with the conduit, insert fully, and apply the appropriate squeeze pressure with the recommended tool until a consistent compression is achieved. Verify the termination meets manufacturer torque or compression criteria before commissioning.
The 708 streamlines spares and installation across facilities, reduces rework due to reliable terminations, and supports compliant, auditable installations with UL and NEC/CEC alignment, ultimately lowering maintenance costs and improving uptime.
