FAQs
The Eaton 710 is designed for straight FMC conduit terminations in ordinary locations. Use the squeeze-type mechanism for a quick, secure fit; ensure correct trade size (1 inch) and confirm surrounding enclosure clearance to avoid interference. The non-insulated insulator is appropriate where environmental conditions do not require additional electrical separation, reducing parts and labor without compromising safety.
Key specs include a 1 inch trade size, straight connector configuration, FMC conduit type, malleable iron material, non-insulated insulator, dimensions of 1.69 in (length) Ă— 2.13 in (width) Ă— 2.13 in (height), weight about 0.31 lb, catalog number 710, and UPC 784564107107. It is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards.
Yes. The 710 is part of the Eaton Crouse-Hinds FMC family and is designed to integrate with other components in that series, ensuring a consistent termination method, standardized dimensions, and streamlined procurement for ongoing maintenance and upgrades in FMC conduit systems.
Eaton 710 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Documentation and certification references are available through the Crouse-Hinds FMC catalog and Eaton specification sheets, along with UL certification pages for related FMC connectors if required for your jurisdiction.
Using the Eaton 710 reduces installation time with its squeeze-type design, minimizes rework due to reliable terminations, and lowers inventory complexity by aligning with the Crouse-Hinds FMC family. Over time, this translates to faster commissioning, fewer field failures, and lower total cost of ownership in industrial electrical installations.
