Overview

The NSi Industries 285-DCR Mighty-Merge Threadless Rigid to FMC Transition Fitting provides a secure and reliable connection between threadless rigid metal conduit and Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC). This 1-1/2" fitting is constructed from malleable iron for durability and features a case-hardened steel ring with diagonal serrations that grip the conduit, ensuring positive ground continuity and a permanent connection without requiring conduit threading. An integrated nylon insulator protects conductors, reduces wire pulling effort, and prevents thread damage. The fitting is suitable for concrete-tight applications and can carry ground fault currents up to 10,000 amps RMS for sizes up to 1-1/2" (duration of 3 cycles). It conforms to UL 514B, CSA C22.2 No. 18, NFPA 70-1999 (ANSI), NEMA FB1, Federal Specification W-F-408, and Federal Standard H-28 (Threads). Manufactured in the USA, the 285-DCR is an essential component for industrial, commercial, and utility electrical installations.
