Eaton 715DC Squeeze Type Connector - FMC, 3"
Part Number: 715DC
Quick Summary
Eaton 715DC Squeeze Type Connector provides secure FMC connections for conduit systems in industrial environments. Installers face slow installs and rework when using non-insulated zinc die-cast fittings that don’t seat fully or resist vibration. This connector is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations and aligns with NEC/CEC standards, delivering safe, compliant performance. Its straight, squeeze design enables fast field assembly, reducing labor costs while maintaining reliability in harsh factory settings and control panels.

FAQs
The 715DC is designed for straight FMC conduit runs in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. It uses a squeeze-type mechanism and zinc die cast body to provide secure, vibration-resistant connections. It is compatible with standard FMC fittings and control panel wiring practices, enabling quick assembly in factory floors and machine rooms.
The 715DC is documented to align with NEC/CEC standards and is rated for ordinary locations. This helps ensure regulatory compliance for typical industrial installations. For teams requiring formal validation, UL certification reports for FMC connectors are available, along with Eaton’s specification sheets to support engineering approvals.
Yes. The 3" trade size supports common FMC sizing in control panels and machinery feeders. Its straight connector and squeeze style are optimized for quick, reliable terminations in mid-sized installations, reducing field time and ensuring a robust seal against dust and vibration in non-hazardous environments.
Zinc die-cast construction provides rigidity and corrosion resistance, extending service life in industrial environments. This reduces replacement frequency and maintenance costs while maintaining mechanical integrity under vibration. For maintenance planning, the durable material minimizes frequent replacements and re-terminations.
Official documentation includes the Crouse-Hinds FMC catalog page, UL certification reports, and the Eaton specification sheet for 715DC. These resources offer detailed installation guidance, material specs, and compliance information to support procurement, design reviews, and field installation planning.
