Thomas Betts 273TB Fmc Conduit Connector 1 Inch 90 Degree

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 273TB is a 90-degree squeeze clamp conduit connector designed for use with flexible metal conduit (FMC). Constructed from malleable iron, this connector provides a durable, non-insulated termination at junction boxes, panels, and enclosures. The squeeze clamp design allows for secure attachment without additional fasteners. Rated for hazardous location applications, the 273TB suits installations where code-compliant, robust FMC terminations are required. It carries a 1-inch trade size, matching standard 1-inch FMC fittings used across industrial and commercial electrical work.

This connector is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where flexible metal conduit must be terminated at enclosures or boxes in hazardous locations. Licensed electricians typically specify malleable iron FMC fittings in environments subject to vibration, mechanical stress, or classified hazardous area requirements per NEC Article 501 and related standards. The 90-degree body angle accommodates right-angle routing where straight connectors would not clear the enclosure or structure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and lock out the panel before beginning work. Verify that the conduit and connector trade sizes match before securing the squeeze clamp. In hazardous locations, confirm that all fittings and methods meet the classification requirements for the rated area.
