Southwire 152 Straight Bx-flex Connector 3/4 in Die Cast Zinc

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 152 is a straight squeeze-type BX-Flex connector rated for 3/4 inch trade size conduit. Fabricated from die cast zinc, this connector provides corrosion resistance and durable mechanical integrity in dry location installations. It is designed to join flexible metallic conduit to EMT or to connect flexible metal conduit and steel armored cable (AC cable) to steel outlet boxes, load centers, and other metal enclosures. Cable opening range is 0.88 to 1.11 inches, accommodating typical 3/4 inch BX-Flex cable diameters. The single-screw squeeze assembly allows for fast, secure termination with standard hand tools.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial electrical installations where flexible metal conduit or armored cable must terminate at a metal enclosure in a dry location. Common applications include motor connections, HVAC equipment whips, and panel terminations where a straight connector profile is required. The threaded by squeeze connection type interfaces with standard EMT knockouts on enclosures and boxes. For dry locations only — not rated for wet or damp environments.
