Eaton 712 Squeeze Type Connector - FMC, Straight (NEC/CEC)
Part Number: 712
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds squeeze type connector provides a robust FMC conduit junction for straight runs in non-hazardous, general duty applications. Installers often confront compatibility gaps, slow assembly, or leaks in tight spaces, and this squeeze-type design minimizes field adjustments. NEC/CEC compliance and area classifications for ordinary locations ensure code-ready installation from the lab to the rack. By leveraging a malleable iron body and a 1-1/2 inch trade size, the connector delivers durable performance with fewer field repairs. For procurement and maintenance teams, this translates to lower inventory variety, predictable assembly times, and long-term cost savings. That means faster panel builds and fewer commissioning delays.
