Overview

The ABB TC717A is a zinc-plated steel compression connector designed specifically for 2-1/2 inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit, ensuring compatibility with standard conduit sizes. This insulated connector employs a compression fitting mechanism, providing a secure and permanent attachment to electrical enclosures, knockout entries, and threaded entries. The TC717A is certified for concrete-tight applications, making it suitable for direct burial or pour-in-place concrete installations where resistance to moisture, debris, and environmental contaminants is essential. The connector includes an integrated locknut for knockout applications, ensuring a stable and vibration-resistant installation. Constructed from high-strength steel with a zinc plating, the TC717A offers superior corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments, extending its service life in demanding conditions. The insulated throat design significantly reduces wire pulling effort by up to 50%, minimizing friction and preventing first thread damage during installation, which enhances efficiency and ensures damage-free wiring processes. The TC717A is part of the TC-700 series, which includes sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inches, providing versatility to accommodate various conduit termination requirements across different projects. The compression fitting ensures a positive, secure connection capable of carrying ground fault currents, meeting stringent electrical safety standards. This connector is ideal for commercial and residential electrical projects requiring reliable conduit termination, protection, and long-term performance in both exposed and concealed installations.
