FAQs
The 714 is a straight, squeeze-type connector designed for FMC conduit in non-hazardous locations. Plan for a direct run with a firm grip on the malleable-iron body, ensuring proper alignment before tightening the squeeze mechanism. Its 2-1/2" trade size suits medium-radius runs and simplifies field modifications.
Yes. The Eaton 714 is NEC/CEC compliant and UL certified for FMC connections, supporting regulatory compliance across US and Canadian projects. This helps reduce audit findings and speeds up approval in control panels and equipment housings.
The 714 uses a malleable iron body with a non-insulated insulator and straight connector configuration. This combination provides robust mechanical strength, straightforward assembly, and compatibility with Crouse-Hinds FMC series installations while keeping the footprint compact for 2-1/2" trade-size lines.
Ideal for straight FMC conduit terminations in ordinary/non-hazardous locations such as control panels, machine enclosures, and process equipment. Its Squeeze style and 2-1/2" trade size make it a common choice for medium-length runs requiring durable, quick-install connections within the Crouse-Hinds family.
The squeeze-type design enables faster installations with repeatable results and reduced torque issues. Its UL/NEC/CEC compliance supports ongoing regulatory maintenance, while the non-insulated construction simplifies inspections and future retrofit work, delivering lower lifecycle costs in FMC conduit projects.
