Southwire L427 Straight Zinc Squeeze Box Connector 2.5 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE L427 is a straight zinc squeeze box connector designed for securing flexible metallic conduit to electrical junction boxes and enclosures. This connector uses a squeeze-style clamping mechanism that allows for fast, tool-free conduit insertion, reducing installation time on commercial and residential wiring jobs. Built from zinc die-cast construction, the L427 delivers reliable mechanical grip and corrosion resistance in standard electrical installations. It is sized at 2-1/2 inches and is installed by licensed electricians working on conduit termination points throughout a structure.

This connector is suited for use in residential and light commercial electrical installations where flexible metallic conduit must be terminated at a box knockout. The straight body design allows for direct, in-line entry into standard knockouts. It is commonly used in panel feeders, equipment connections, and general branch circuit work where a secure, code-compliant conduit termination is required.

Key Features

• Straight-body squeeze connector for flexible metallic conduit termination at box knockouts
• Zinc die-cast construction for mechanical durability and corrosion resistance
• 2-1/2 inch connector size for larger conduit runs
• Squeeze-style clamp allows fast conduit insertion without additional tools
• Compatible with standard knockout openings on electrical enclosures and junction boxes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for flexible metallic conduit applications requiring a straight 2-1/2 inch zinc squeeze connector at box termination points.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the work area before beginning conduit termination work. Insert the conduit into the connector body until fully seated, then tighten the locknut on the box interior to secure the fitting. Do not overtighten the locknut, as this may damage the zinc body or the enclosure knockout.
