Those Milwaukee gloves you got on mister?The shoulder on these MC connectors is too small. As you can see it doesnt cover the KO, and you can actually get the entire shoulder to go thru the KO. Has anyone ever filed a compliant with UL? I am thinking of trying it.
What brand are those connectors? I've seen a similar problem on offset nipples and chase nipples with the shoulder being so small that the nipple almost goes through the KO.The shoulder on these MC connectors is too small.

These are halex brand from Big Orange. Yeah it seems like most of the die cast stuff, EMT fittings offset nipples has borderline large enough shoulders. Most of those I find don't cover a standard KO completely if they are offset all the way to one side.What brand are those connectors?

Yes sir!Those Milwaukee gloves you got on mister?
Help what?Reducing washers might help.
No, but there is a problem with the connector falling through the KO.Help what?
Is there an NEC problem with the gap in the OP?
If reducing washer has same size opening it can fall through the washer as well.No, but there is a problem with the connector falling through the KO.

Listed doesn’t mean they can’t get away with metric sizes. Probably so they can sell to the world market without re-tooling. I had issues with UT boxes in Chile, the keypads I was using were designed for American UT boxes, but the hole spacing on their UT boxes was slightly different.These are both listed parts . We shouldn't be having this problem.
