Appleton C-8 Malleable Squeeze Flex Conduit Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The APPLETON C-8 is a malleable iron squeeze-type flexible conduit connector designed for securing flexible metal conduit to electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and panel knockouts. The squeeze mechanism allows for tool-free or minimal-tool installation, gripping the conduit firmly without requiring a separate locknut in many applications. Sized for 1/2 inch trade-size flexible conduit, this connector is a standard component in commercial and industrial electrical rough-in work where flexible whip connections are required at equipment terminations.

This connector is used in applications where flexible metal conduit terminates at a junction box, motor disconnect, control panel, or other enclosure. It is suited for indoor installations in commercial, light industrial, and residential settings where code-compliant flexible conduit terminations are needed. Electricians reach for this style of fitting when making final connections to motors, HVAC equipment, and lighting fixtures that require a degree of vibration isolation or positional flexibility.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress at termination points
• Squeeze-type design simplifies installation and secures conduit without requiring specialized tooling
• 1/2 inch trade size fits standard flexible metal conduit used in common branch-circuit whip applications
• Compact form factor suits tight enclosure knockouts and crowded junction boxes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for use with 1/2 inch trade-size flexible metal conduit in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for flexible conduit terminations. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before making any connections at the enclosure. Ensure the conduit is fully seated in the connector and the squeeze mechanism is fully engaged before closing the enclosure. Do not overtighten or force the fitting onto conduit that does not match the specified trade size.
