Application:
Terminator cable fittings are designed for use with
the following cables:
ɀ Type MC – corrugated aluminum, interlocked
aluminum and interlocked steel
ɀ Type TC Tray Cableɍ
Terminator cable fittings are installed:
ɀ to provide a means for terminating type MC and
TC cable at junction boxes, control centers,
panelboards and enclosures for motor control and
electrical distribution equipment
ɀ to form a mechanical watertight connection
ɀ to provide ground continuity of cable armor
ɀ indoors and outdoors in wet and dry locations
ɀ in vertical and horizontal cable runs
ɀ in non-hazardous and hazardous (classified)
locations. Both TMC and TMCX series can be used
in Class I and Class II, Division 2 locations. TMCX
series may be used in Division 1 locations and when
a seal is required.
Features:
ɀ Ten fittings cover cable O.D. range of .440⍯ to
4.020⍯, in
ɀ Quick and easy to install. No disassembly is
required for TMC installation.
ɀ Unique stainless steel grounding/retaining spring
with copper plate finish provides positive ground
continuity and superior pull-out resistance
exceeding that required by UL/CSA.
ɀ Neoprene bushing provides a watertight seal.
ɀ Lightweight, corrosion-resistant/copper-free
aluminum construction provides long, maintenancefree service life in industrial environments
ɀ Optional all brass construction available.
ɀ Hex design for easy wrenching.
ɀ Compact size for close nesting of cables.
ɀ TMCX fittings are furnished complete with epoxy
sealing compound.‡
ɀ TMCX fittings with sealing chamber have a red
colored gland nut for easy identification.
ɀ Hazardous location TMCX Terminators are
reusable. An integral union feature simplifies
installation on new construction and allows installed
TMCX Terminator cable fittings to be disassembled
and reused when performing repairs or replacement
of equipment.
ɀ Optional Cold-Shrink
protection against corrosive elements like salt water.

TSC Epoxy Sealing
Compound
A two part epoxy sealing compound is used
to seal TMCX cable fittings. It is quick and
easy to measure, mix and install. The
compound is kneaded until a uniform color is
obtained. It is then packed around the
conductors and cable armor to effectively
seal the cable.
Each hazardous location fitting is supplied
with enough sealing compound for one
termination. Additional compound may be
ordered separately in one and four ounce
packages.

proper cable fitting.
ɀ to determine how much cable jacket should
be removed to ensure proper installation,
eliminating any guesswork.
ɀ as a gauge of how much compound to
pack around the cable in order to meet UL
requirements and ensure a safe, proper
installation for TMCX fittings.
