Southwire L429 Straight Zinc Squeeze Box Connector

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE L429 is a straight zinc squeeze box connector designed for securing flexible metal conduit or armored cable to electrical enclosures and junction boxes. This connector uses a squeeze-style locking mechanism that grips the conduit or cable jacket without additional tools, providing a secure, low-profile termination point. Zinc construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for standard interior electrical installations. Licensed electricians and skilled tradespeople rely on this type of fitting to maintain code-compliant connections at panel knockouts and device boxes.

The L429 straight connector is used in residential and light commercial electrical work where flexible metal conduit or armored cable must terminate cleanly at an enclosure. The straight configuration is suited for direct entries where the conduit run arrives perpendicular to the box wall. At 3-1/2 inches, this connector accommodates the corresponding conduit trade size for the application.

Key Features

• Squeeze-style locking mechanism secures conduit or cable jacket without threading or separate hardware
• Straight body configuration for direct perpendicular entry into enclosures
• Zinc construction provides corrosion resistance for standard interior environments
• Fits 3-1/2 inch trade size flexible metal conduit or compatible armored cable
• Installs into standard knockout openings on junction boxes, panels, and enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment connector for 3-1/2 inch flexible metal conduit and armored cable terminations at electrical enclosures and junction boxes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and confirm the enclosure is not live before inserting or removing connectors. Insert the conduit or cable into the connector body until the squeeze mechanism engages and holds the jacket firmly. Verify the locknut is tightened securely against the inside of the box wall to maintain a solid mechanical connection.
