Hubbell Incorporated SHC1020 Liquid Tight Connector 1/2 in Orange

Liquid-tight cord connector

The Hubbell SHC1020 is a straight aluminium connector that seals a single cable of 0.13 to 0.19 inch diameter into a 1/2 inch MNPT box entry. Its orange gland colour code makes identification quick on crowded panels. The 1 1/8 inch body length keeps the profile compact inside enclosures. It meets CSA LR27378 and UL E54218 (M) listings for code-compliant installations.

Build integration

The connector threads directly into a 1/2 inch MNPT knockout without extra adapters. Aluminium construction resists corrosion while remaining light enough for overhead runs. No external strain relief is fitted, so the gland itself clamps the cord and saves space inside the box. The straight style suits tight conduit bends where an angled fitting would not clear.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous vibration the aluminium body and gland maintain clamping force without the fatigue seen in plastic alternatives. The liquid-tight seal holds against oil, coolant and wash-down spray over long shifts. With no insulated throat the fitting relies on the enclosure grounding path, which remains stable through thermal cycles. The single-cord design avoids the loosening that multi-cord glands can develop.
