Abb XC278 3 Inch Die Cast Squeeze Flex Connector

Product Description

The ABB XC278 is a 3-inch die cast squeeze-type flexible conduit connector designed for securing flexible metal conduit to electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and panels. This connector uses a squeeze-action design that allows for tool-free or minimal-tool installation, making it a practical choice for electricians working in commercial and industrial conduit runs. The die cast construction provides a durable, rigid connection point that resists mechanical stress at the conduit termination. At 3 inches, it suits larger conduit runs where robust strain relief and a secure mechanical bond are required.

The XC278 is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where flexible metal conduit must terminate at enclosures, motor connections, or control panels. It is commonly installed by licensed electricians on branch circuits, equipment feeds, and mechanical room conduit systems. The squeeze connector design speeds up termination compared to traditional locknut-style fittings, reducing labor time on high-volume conduit jobs.

Key Features

• 3-inch trade size fits standard flexible metal conduit of the same nominal diameter
• Die cast construction provides strength and durability at conduit termination points
• Squeeze-action design simplifies installation and reduces termination time
• Compatible with standard knockout openings on electrical enclosures and junction boxes
• Packaged 5 units per outer pack for job-site convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for 3-inch flexible metal conduit terminations at electrical enclosures and panels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for flexible conduit terminations. De-energize all circuits before making conduit connections at enclosures or panels. Ensure the knockout opening matches the 3-inch trade size of the connector before installation. Do not overtighten the squeeze mechanism beyond hand-firm, as die cast fittings can crack under excessive force.
