Thomas Betts 268-TB Fmc Conduit Connector 1/2 in 90 Deg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 268-TB is a 90-degree squeeze clamp connector designed for flexible metal conduit (FMC) installations in demanding environments, including hazardous locations. Constructed from steel with a non-insulated body, this connector provides a secure mechanical termination where FMC meets an enclosure or junction box. The squeeze clamp connection method allows for fast, tool-assisted securing without additional hardware. Rated for hazardous location use, the 268-TB is suited for industrial and commercial electrical work where code-compliant FMC termination is required. It is sold as a single unit at a 1/2-inch trade size.

This connector is intended for use with 1/2-inch trade size flexible metal conduit in both commercial and industrial electrical systems. The 90-degree body angle makes it well suited for installations where conduit must make a right-angle entry into a box or enclosure, reducing the need for additional conduit bends. Its hazardous location rating expands its applicability to classified areas where standard fittings may not meet code requirements. Licensed electricians typically install this fitting during new construction, panel terminations, equipment connections, and service work.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch trade size flexible metal conduit (FMC). Suitable for hazardous location installations where FMC termination is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify the absence of voltage before beginning any conduit termination work. Ensure the FMC is cut cleanly and seated fully into the connector before tightening the squeeze clamp. In hazardous locations, verify that the complete wiring method assembly meets the classification requirements for the area.
