FAQs
To install the Eaton 715, verify FMC compatibility, prepare the conduit, and align the connector to the mating conduit. Use the appropriate squeeze tool to apply consistent compression until the fit is tight and the connector seats fully. Verify with the catalog specifications (715) and ensure the UPC is recorded for traceability. This reduces rework and ensures a reliable, code-compliant termination in control panels.
Yes. The 715 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It is intended for non-hazardous environments, supporting compliant terminations in typical industrial panels and enclosures without special enclosure ratings. Always verify site-specific requirements and local amendments to ensure full compliance.
The 715 connector is a straight, squeeze-type FMC connector made from malleable iron with a non-insulated insulator. It has a 3-inch trade size, a length of 3.19 inches, and overall dimensions of 3.88 inches in width and height, with a weight of 2.2 pounds. UPC is 784564107152, and catalog number is 715, enabling precise ordering and compatibility checks.
Compatibility is best ensured by using the Eaton Crouse-Hinds FMC family components together to maintain consistent termination performance and code compliance. While FMC connectors share a common conduit standard, mixing brands can introduce differences in fit and compression characteristics. For best results, source the entire junction set from Eaton Crouse-Hinds when possible.
The 715 offers faster, tool-assisted terminations that reduce installation time and rework, lowering labor costs. Its durable malleable iron construction improves vibration resistance and long-term reliability in industrial environments, reducing maintenance calls and downtime. Procurement efficiency is supported by a single catalog number and UPC, simplifying BOMs and inventory management.
