Cord connector question

Post by apdb »

Just a quick question. For my controller box, what size strain relief cord connector do i need for 10/3 wire. I'm at the store and dont particularly like asking to many questions when i can avoid it. 1/2", 3/4",1"?
Thanks again.

Depends on the cable you have. Without measuring it. You won't know for sure. Some will work with 1/2" some need 3/4". So we can't tell you which is right for your cable.

Dang .... No worries. Its a big yellow marinco shoreline cable if that helps. Picked it up for $15 from guy who didn't know any better. Score.

Yea see that's some cable I've never even seen or worked with. So I would be guessing at best.

Best off just measuring it. And getting the right one.
