Appleton Debuts Speedlock Double Snap Connectors
Melissa Larson | June 1, 2015
Using new Speedlock double snap connectors from Appleton, a business unit of Emerson Industrial Automation, electricians can connect armored cable, metal clad cable or flexible metallic conduit to steel boxes and enclosures twice as fast, and at less cost, than traditional connectors. There simply isn’t a speedier way to connect. The connectors require no tools or a locknut, leading to overall job cost savings without compromising quality.
Available in several configurations including Straight, Straight for Old Work, Duplex for installing two cables in a single KO, and 90 Degree, the patented Speedlock connector installs in seconds. Electricians simply snap the connector onto the cable, and then snap it into the knock-out. The zinc connectors are reusable and designed to terminate 3/8 in. or ½ in. flexible conduit in ½ in. steel box KO’s or enclosures in dry locations. Adding to the connectors’ value are red insulated throats that create a smooth pulling surface to protect the wire insulation from damage. Connectors are cULus listed for use in NEC and CEC governed locations.
