Purpose and fit
This Hubbell NHC1038CR liquid-tight connector accepts a single cord with a diameter between 0.75 in and 0.88 in. It threads onto a 3/4 in MNPT box opening and bends 90 degrees to route cable in tight spaces. The nylon body is gray while the gland is coloured orchid for quick visual identification. Insulated construction and CSA LR27378 plus UL E54218 listings make it suitable for damp or wet locations.
What the orchid gland and 90-degree body change
The orchid colour code lets installers spot the correct cord-range fitting at a glance without reading markings. The right-angle style reduces the protrusion from the enclosure, helping cable run parallel to the mounting surface. Because no external strain-relief accessory is included, the connector relies on its internal gland compression to hold the cord securely. The insulated nylon body also prevents conductive contact between the cord jacket and the metal box.
Deciding specification — cord diameter range
The only dimension that determines whether this part fits the job is the 0.75 in to 0.88 in cord diameter range. If the cable you are terminating falls outside that window, the gland cannot seal properly and the connector will not meet its liquid-tight rating. No other measurement in the data sheet governs compatibility.

Questions about this item
What maintenance or replacement will the nylon cord connector need after installation?
The nylon body and insulated design require no scheduled maintenance; only inspect the orchid gland and gray connector for physical damage if the cord is ever re‑routed.
What limit appears first when the 90‑degree connector runs continuously at its 0.75‑0.88 in cord range?
The 0.75‑0.88 in cord diameter range is the mechanical limit; exceeding it prevents a liquid‑tight seal on the 3/4 in MNPT box connection.
How much heat or noise does the insulated nylon connector generate during all‑day operation?
The insulated nylon connector has no moving parts or electrical load, so it produces no measurable heat or noise during continuous use.
