Overview

The ABB XC 494 is a robust 90-degree squeeze type connector engineered for secure and reliable connections of armored cable and flexible metal conduit. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this connector (SKU: XC 494) is constructed from durable zinc-plated malleable iron, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion in industrial settings. It is designed for 1-1/4 inch conduit trade size and features a cable opening range from 1.375 inches to 1.656 inches, accommodating a variety of cable diameters. The overall dimensions are 3 inches in height and 2-9/16 inches in width. This connector is U.L. Listed for flexible metal conduit only and is also U.L. Listed as a grounding means under NEC 350-5. The squeeze type connection mechanism provides a tight, secure fit, essential for maintaining electrical integrity and preventing pull-out. Its 90-degree angle facilitates efficient routing and installation in confined spaces or when transitioning to enclosures. The XC 494 is specifically designed for use with armored cable and flexible metal conduit, offering a dependable solution for these cable types. The zinc-plated malleable iron construction provides a strong and durable housing for the connection. The 1-1/4 inch conduit size is a standard for many electrical installations, and the specified cable opening range ensures compatibility with a range of cable sizes commonly used with armored cable and flexible metal conduit. The 3-inch height and 2-9/16 inch width are key physical attributes that define its footprint and integration into electrical systems. The U.L. Listing for flexible metal conduit and as a grounding means under NEC 350-5 highlights its compliance with safety and performance standards. The squeeze type design is a critical feature for ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical connection, preventing unintended disconnections and maintaining the integrity of the grounding path. The 90-degree configuration is a functional design element that aids in managing cable runs and fitting the connector into tight spaces, which is often a requirement in industrial and commercial electrical installations.
