Faster, secure terminations: The squeeze-type design provides vibration-resistant connections that minimize rework and re-termination risk. This translates to lower labor costs and shorter installation windows. Use in FMC conduit runs within machinery panels, process equipment, and control cabinets where uptime matters.\n\nRugged durability: Zinc die cast housing delivers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The result is extended service life in aggressive industrial environments and fewer field repairs. Apply in facilities with dust, moisture, or temperature variations to maintain consistent performance over the life of the installation.\n\nStandardized sizing and routing: Straight connector with a 2-1/2 inch trade size supports common FMC fittings and simplifies inventory planning. This reduces stocking complexity and accelerates procurement for projects with multiple runs between panels and motors. Ideal for straight conduit journeys in panel boards and equipment enclosures.\n\nLightweight, simplified assembly: Non-ins insulated construction reduces weight and trim complexity in tight spaces. This lowers material costs and speeds field work when insulation is provided elsewhere in the system. Use where nearby insulation considerations allow a clean, streamlined termination.\n\nCode-ready and compliant: NEC/CEC standards paired with ordinary/non-hazardous area classification support safe installations. This minimizes inspection issues and aligns with UL certification references. Suitable for general-purpose industrial installations requiring reliable, approved FMC terminations with widely available documentation.

FAQs
Install begins by fitting the 714DC onto the FMC conduit for a straight run, ensuring the conduit end is clean and square. Insert until seated, then operate the squeeze mechanism to lock and cinch the housing. Verify load and alignment, inspect for gaps, and test continuity. Always follow manufacturer torque guidelines and safety procedures.
Key specifications include conduit type FMC, squeeze style, zinc die-cast housing, straight connector design, non-insulated construction, 2-1/2 inch trade size, and dimensions of 2.88 inches by 3.27 inches with a weight of 0.9 pounds. These factors influence fit with accessories, enclosure clearance, and pull-out strength under vibration.
Yes. The 714DC is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and aligns with NEC/CEC standards. UL certifications support its use in non-hazardous zones, making it a reliable choice for general purpose FMC terminations in manufacturing environments.
The 714DC supports NEC/CEC standards and UL certification for FMC connectors. It aligns with official Eaton specification documentation and UL listing for connectors and couplings, providing code-compliant, inspector-friendly performance in non-hazardous settings.
The squeeze-type design reduces installation time and rework, lowering labor costs. The zinc die-cast housing offers long-term durability, reducing maintenance and replacement expenses. Combined with NEC/CEC compliance, this yields faster commissioning, longer service life, and a streamlined spare-parts strategy for FMC terminations.
