Appleton 7265V 3/8 Inch Malleable Squeeze Flex Bx Connector

Product Description

The APPLETON 7265V is a malleable iron squeeze-type connector designed for terminating 3/8 inch flexible metallic conduit (FMC) and BX armored cable at enclosures, junction boxes, and electrical panels. The squeeze-style clamping mechanism allows fast, tool-minimal installation without set screws, securing the conduit or cable end with consistent mechanical hold. Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress in industrial and commercial wiring applications. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of conduit system terminations in both new construction and retrofit work.

The 7265V is suited for use in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations where 3/8 inch FMC or armored BX cable requires a secure, code-compliant connection to an enclosure knockout. Typical applications include HVAC equipment wiring, motor connections, and fixture whips where flexible conduit transitions to a fixed enclosure. The squeeze connector design speeds up termination on multi-point installations.

Key Features

• Malleable iron body for strength and resistance to mechanical impact
• Squeeze-type clamping mechanism for fast, screwless termination
• Accepts 3/8 inch flexible metallic conduit and BX armored cable
• Compatible with standard knockout openings on electrical enclosures and boxes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard connector fitting for 3/8 inch flexible metallic conduit and BX armored cable termination at electrical enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before working on any enclosure or panel. Insert the conduit or cable end fully into the connector before tightening the squeeze clamp, and confirm the fitting is secure in the knockout with the locknut properly torqued by hand plus a firm set. Do not over-deform the connector body during clamping, as malleable iron can crack under excessive force.
