The squeeze connector design allows for fast, tool-free installation by hand, eliminating the need for a screwdriver or nut driver during the termination step. An insulated throat protects wire insulation from abrasion at the conduit entry point. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where flexible conduit transitions to a junction box or panel knockout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 153M is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where flexible metal conduit connects to outlet boxes, junction boxes, or load centers. The 1-inch trade size accommodates standard 1-inch flexible metal conduit runs. This connector is a common component in branch circuit wiring, equipment connections, and motor feed applications where vibration isolation or routing flexibility is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch trade size fits standard 1-inch flexible metal conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSqueeze-type design allows fast hand-tightened installation without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInsulated throat protects wire and cable insulation from abrasion at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetal construction provides mechanical strength and grounding continuity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits standard knockout openings in electrical enclosures and panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use with 1-inch trade size flexible metal conduit in residential and light commercial electrical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC requirements for flexible metal conduit terminations. De-energize all circuits and verify the absence of voltage before working inside any enclosure. Insert the connector through the knockout, secure the locknut firmly, and squeeze the connector body onto the conduit end to complete the termination. Inspect the insulated throat for damage before installation to ensure wire protection is intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Squeeze Flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated Throat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 75133811120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWIRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWIRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383371792690,"sku":"153M","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312679052.jpg?v=1782594873","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwire-153m-1-inch-metal-insulated-squeeze-flex-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
