Thomas Betts 3137 Fmc Conduit Connector 1 in Angled

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 3137 is a malleable iron, angled set screw connector designed for use with flexible metal conduit (FMC). It provides a secure, insulated termination point where FMC meets an enclosure or junction box. The angled body simplifies routing in tight spaces where a straight connector would create excessive bend stress on the conduit. The set screw connection method locks the FMC firmly in place without requiring special tooling beyond a standard hex key. This connector is rated for non-hazardous locations and suits the demands of commercial and industrial wiring installations handled by licensed electricians.

This connector is used in non-hazardous electrical installations where FMC transitions into electrical enclosures, panels, or junction boxes. The 1 inch trade size accommodates standard 1 inch FMC runs common in branch circuit and equipment wiring applications. The insulated throat protects conductors from abrasion at the point of entry. The angled design is particularly useful in installations where conduit enters an enclosure from the side and must change direction within a confined space.

Key Features

• Angled connector body eases routing in tight or restricted spaces
• Set screw connection secures FMC without crimping or special tools
• Insulated throat protects wire insulation at the conduit entry point
• Malleable iron construction provides durable, rigid termination
• Rated for non-hazardous area applications
• 1 inch trade size fits standard 1 inch FMC

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment connector for 1 inch flexible metal conduit (FMC) in non-hazardous residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 348 governing flexible metal conduit. De-energize the circuit and verify the absence of voltage before making any connections at the enclosure. Thread the FMC into the connector body and tighten the set screw to secure the conduit before making up conductors inside the box. Ensure the insulated throat is seated properly to prevent conductor damage at the point of entry.
