Liquid Tight Connector

The Hubbell SHC1040 is a straight aluminium cord connector designed to terminate flexible liquid-tight conduit in industrial or commercial installations. It accepts a single cable with a diameter between .50 in and .63 in and threads into a 1 in MNPT box entry. The brown gland colour code identifies the cord range at a glance.

Sustained environmental sealing

Because the connector relies on a compression gland rather than an external strain relief, the seal is maintained by the continuous pressure of the gland nut on the cable jacket. This design resists vibration and thermal cycling without a separate relief component that could loosen over time. The aluminium body and gland provide mechanical strength while the internal sealing ring excludes moisture and dust throughout the service life.

MNPT thread and cord limits

The 1 in MNPT thread conforms to standard tapered pipe dimensions, so engagement depth is fixed by the fitting itself and cannot be adjusted for thicker enclosure walls. Only cables within the stated .50 in to .63 in range will seal correctly; undersized conductors will leak and oversized ones will not enter the gland. The connector is certified to CSA LR27378 and UL E54218 (M) for use in listed assemblies.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the SHC1040 connector generate when it runs all day?

The aluminum body acts as a passive heat sink, so the connector itself produces no measurable heat during continuous use.

What cord diameter must I already have for the SHC1040 to seal properly?

The gland accepts a single cord between .50 and .63 inches; anything outside that range will not achieve a liquid-tight seal.

Will the 1 inch MNPT thread on the SHC1040 mate with the older steel conduit boxes I have installed?

Yes, the straight 1 inch MNPT thread follows the standard taper, so it threads directly into existing 1 inch NPT openings without adapters.
