Overview

The ABB TC729A Set Screw Connector (SKU: TC729A) from ABB Installation Products is engineered for secure and reliable connections in electrical installations utilizing 3-1/2 inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit. Constructed from durable zinc-plated steel, this connector offers robust performance and longevity in demanding environments. Its design ensures an insulated and concrete-tight connection, meeting stringent industry standards and providing enhanced wire protection. The insulated throat, a key feature, significantly reduces wire pulling effort by as much as 50%, preventing insulation damage and thread wear, a benefit also seen in other ABB insulated set-screw connectors like the 8125 series. The set screw mechanism provides positive holding strength and ensures a ground connection. This connector is suitable for applications requiring concrete-tight connections, as specified by NEMA FB1 and Federal Specification W-F-408. It is listed and certified by U.L. (File No: E-23018) and CSA (File No: LR-2884, LR-4484), conforming to U.L. 514B and CSA C22.2 No. 18. The 3.906 inch length ensures optimal fit and stability within the conduit system. Ideal for industrial, commercial, and institutional applications where dependable conduit termination is critical, the TC729A is a trusted choice for electricians and contractors seeking quality and compliance.
