Appleton CG90-3138 90 Degree Aluminum Cord Connector

Product Description

The APPLETON CG90-3138 is a 90-degree aluminum cord connector designed for secure, angled conduit entry in electrical wiring applications. This fitting accepts 3/8 inch trade-size cord or conduit and provides a right-angle connection that helps route conductors cleanly in tight spaces or along surfaces where a straight connector would create undue strain on the cord. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting where NEC-compliant cord termination is required and available routing space is limited. The aluminum construction keeps the connector lightweight while maintaining the durability needed in commercial and industrial environments.

This connector is suited for use in commercial, industrial, and light-duty residential electrical installations where 3/8 inch cord or flexible conduit must transition into a box, enclosure, or panel at a 90-degree angle. It is commonly installed at junction boxes, control panels, and equipment enclosures to manage cord routing and reduce stress at the entry point. The 90-degree body is particularly useful when conduit runs parallel to a wall or surface immediately after entering the fitting.

Key Features

• 90-degree body angle for clean cord routing in confined or surface-parallel runs
• 3/8 inch trade size accommodates standard small-diameter flexible cord or conduit
• Aluminum construction offers lightweight durability for commercial and industrial use
• Designed for NEC-compliant cord termination at enclosures, boxes, and panels
• Reduces strain and wear at the cord entry point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8 inch trade-size flexible cord or conduit termination applications at standard electrical enclosures and junction boxes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before working on any enclosure or panel where this connector will be installed. Ensure the knockout or entry hole is properly sized for 3/8 inch trade-size fittings before installing. Do not overtighten the locknut, as aluminum threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
