Not sure how dumb this is but.....My apprentice asked me this mornin if I Had a 90 Degree romex connector. My first response was "Why would you need that?" But after thinkin about it I wondered if such a fitting even exists. I'm told that there are/is 90 degree MC connectors around that are rated for NM cable. But I have never looked for or seen any such thing. Is there any truth to this rumor? And if so who makes it? Bridgeport, Arlington ??
90 degree NM conector?

I'm pretty sure there is. I think the MC connectors are mostly all rated for NM cable also. Now you've got me curious.

It's true. I don't even have to look it up. I'm just that good.

I'm coming up empty. Many of the straight MC connectors are good for NM, but not the 90's. Guess not. Can't say that I've ever needed one.

Maybe its coincidence, but my apprentice asked for a 45* NM conn!
I just Googled it and came up with this.

About half way down the page youll see a heading for NM cable connectors
and then the following listed there
3/8" NM (romex) or MC box connector, 90 degree $1.10.
Unfortunately no picture or brand name

Hand him a regular connector and tell him to figure it out.
