FAQs
The 742DC is a 2" trade-size FMC squeeze-type connector with a 90° zinc die-cast body and non-insulated construction. For installation, ensure clean, aligned joints in control panels and equipment enclosures, tighten to manufacturer-recommended torque, and route conduits to minimize bending stress. Its design supports fast field assembly and reliable long-term performance in ordinary locations.
The 742DC is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations in accordance with NEC/CEC standards, providing NEC/CEC-compliant connections for common industrial environments. This compliance simplifies regulatory acceptance across many facilities and aligns with typical FMC installation practices, reducing the need for alternative fittings in non-hazardous areas.
Canadian certification support for the 742DC complements NEC/CEC compliance, enabling cross-border FMC installations. The product is documented with Canadian certification references, which helps ensure regulatory acceptance in Canadian facilities and simplifies sourcing for multinational projects that require compliance across jurisdictions.
Key specs to consider are 2" trade size, 5.4 in length, 4.82 in width, and 4.41 in height, with a weight of 1.19 lb. The conduit type is FMC, and the part is a non-insulated, 90° squeeze-style connector suitable for 2" FMC runs in cable trays or control panels, ensuring proper clearance and routing.
The 742DC addresses space constraints with its 90° angle, simplifying tight-turn FMC installations. Its zinc die-cast construction offers durability and corrosion resistance in ordinary environments, reducing maintenance needs. Non-insulated design and standardized dimensions aid quick assembly and consistent panel layouts, lowering labor costs while maintaining regulatory compliance.
