The component complies with UL 514B standards, providing secure termination for electrical wiring in demanding industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Straight configuration for direct conduit termination
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Nylon sealing ring for moisture and dust exclusion

Applications

• Termination of metallic liquidtight flexible conduit
• Industrial equipment wiring connections
• Electrical installations requiring UL 514B compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation (e.g., -APTN) against manufacturer documentation to confirm exact material composition and certification status. Ensure compatibility with the intended conduit diameter and insulation requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a straight, insulated termination is required for metallic liquidtight flexible conduit. Confirm that the zinc-plated steel body meets the corrosion resistance needs of the installation environment and that UL 514B listing is mandatory for the project specifications.

Part Context

Appleton connectors are part of Eaton's electrical distribution portfolio, focusing on reliable cable management solutions. The 4QS series specifically addresses the need for secure, insulated connections in industrial settings where flexibility and environmental sealing are critical for system integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Eaton or Appleton cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may not maintain UL 514B compliance or identical sealing performance.
