1/2" SS FLEX CONN (Product Description)
A 1/2-inch stainless steel (SS) flexible conduit connector is a heavy-duty metal fitting used to connect flexible metallic conduit (FMC) or liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) to an electrical box, enclosure, or equipment.
Product Description
This is a straight or sometimes adjustable stainless steel flex connector designed for 1/2" trade size flexible conduit systems. “SS” indicates it is made from stainless steel (commonly 304 or 316 grade), giving it high resistance to corrosion, moisture, and harsh environments.
It is used to:
- Secure flexible metal conduit to an enclosure
- Provide strain relief for conductors inside the conduit
- Maintain a safe, grounded, and code-compliant termination point
These fittings are commonly found in industrial, commercial, and washdown environments where corrosion resistance is important (food plants, outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, etc.).
