Southwire 55189407 Non-metallic Pre-wired Whip 6 Ft 1/2 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55189407 is a pre-wired, liquidtight flexible non-metallic conduit whip assembly designed for final connections on air conditioners, compressors, pumps, and swimming pool motors. Measuring 6 feet in length with a 1/2-inch conduit diameter, this assembly ships ready to install — wiring and nonmetallic connectors are included. The liquidtight jacket resists moisture, corrosion, and electrical conductivity, making it suited for outdoor and wet-location service. UL listed and CSA approved, this whip meets the certification requirements common to residential and light commercial mechanical installations.

This whip is used wherever a code-compliant flexible final connection is required between a disconnect or junction box and a motor-driven load. Typical applications include residential and commercial air conditioning units, pool and spa pump motors, and refrigeration compressors. The pre-assembled format reduces on-site labor by eliminating the need to field-wire and terminate individual conductors through flexible conduit. The nonmetallic construction will not rust or crack under prolonged outdoor or high-humidity exposure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 356 governing liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit. Always disconnect and lock out power at the upstream disconnect before making final connections. Verify that connector fittings are fully seated and torqued to the fitting manufacturer's specification before restoring power. Inspect the jacket for kinks or damage before securing the whip to avoid stress points at the connectors.
