Overview

The ABB 4972 Liquidtight Strain Relief Connector is a 90-degree, 3/4-inch trade size fitting engineered for secure cable entry and strain relief in industrial environments. Designed for cords ranging from 0.500 to 0.750 inches in diameter, this connector features a malleable iron body for durability and a Santoprene bushing to provide a watertight seal against moisture, dust, and contaminants. The steel gland and plastic grip work together to firmly secure the cable, preventing pull-out and protecting the connection point from mechanical damage. This connector is ideal for applications requiring a 90-degree bend to manage cable routing efficiently, such as control panels, machinery, and industrial equipment. Its NPT-threaded mounting type ensures compatibility with standard conduit systems, while the 25/32-inch throat diameter accommodates the specified cord range. The robust construction and precise engineering deliver long-term performance and safety in harsh industrial settings. Key specifications include: - Trade size: 3/4 inch - Cord range: 0.500 to 0.750 inches - Throat diameter: 25/32 inch - Mounting type: NPT thread - Materials: Malleable iron body, steel gland, Santoprene bushing - Enclosure rating: Suitable for wet or dry locations Compatible with standard industrial cables such as S, SO, SV, ST, STD, SJ, SJO, SJT, SJTO, and SVD types, the ABB 4972 ensures reliable strain relief and grounding continuity for armored or unarmored cables.
