Whoever started this company , imo, knew what they were doing and they knew what the industry needed.


Check this out-- a MC connector that snaps in from inside the box.

I agree. They must have people that have worked in the field or go out and visit because they come up with some great products. This is another good one. I have distinct memories of frustration that came from trying to install a lock ring on a fished MC connector..... forty minutes of effort to do one minutes of work.
 
It's funny they had NM cable connectors that were installed from the inside of the box 10 years ago, wonder why it took them so long to make one for MC. :roll:
 
nice product.
I always used the snap in type from the other direction and usually worked fine. This will allow you to feed completely from inside the box not worrying about getting the connector in before you secure a cut in box.

It didn't take them so long to make one for MC.

It took them that long to get one listed for MC. (kidding but listing does take time)

It will also help if there is a box already in the wall and you need to fish into it
 
Wow that new connector looks cool.
We use the snap on connectors from Arlington but if your trying to snake the connector into a box that is finished with Sheetrock you don't get enough force to get the snap on ring into box.
So I normally use a regular connector and have to deal with trying to get locknut on the connector.

But they show putting the connector on a 4"box with no mudring on the box,
I bet it would be harder to put connector on with mudring but I'm Shure easier than messing with locknut .
 
I thought this was interesting.

Today I was looking at the Dec. issue of ec&m magazine and I counted 34 full page ads, 7 partial page ad and a total of 62 pages. Arlington had 16 of the full page ads.
