Product Overview
Hubbell F2 90 Degree Nylon Cord Connectors, 1/2 Inch Trade Size, Used Set of Seven
Condition
Used. The photos show seven gray nylon connectors, each sitting assembled with its gland nut threaded on. The bodies carry dirt and smudging in the elbow radius and across the wrench flats, the ferrule threads under the gland nuts show darkened residue, and one body has a small rust colored speck near the flat. One connector was taken apart for the camera and separates into the elbow body, a black tapered bushing, a red split sealing disc, and the threaded gland nut; the other six were photographed assembled and were not opened, so nothing is claimed about what is inside them. Nothing here was tested. The photos are the spec, and this listing is one set of seven connectors sold together.

Product Overview
A Hubbell F2 cord connector is the fitting that brings a flexible cord through the wall of an enclosure and holds it there, so the cable takes the pull instead of the terminals. This is the 90 degree version: the male hub threads into the box while the cord enters at a right angle, which keeps a cable from making a hard bend the moment it leaves the fitting. The elbow bodies are molded with 1/2 F2 in a raised panel, and the one gland nut photographed face-on carries HUBBELL F2 PATENTED around its face along with two small circular embossed logos; the other six were shot from the side with their faces turned away, so the maker mark is confirmed on that single unit rather than on all seven. Construction is nylon per the listing specification. Cord diameter range, voltage and environmental ratings are not confirmed here - verify against the Hubbell datasheet before use, since the black bushing is the part that sets the cord range and only one was visible to the camera.
Key Features
- Brand confirmed on the parts: the one gland nut photographed face-on is molded HUBBELL F2 PATENTED
- Elbow bodies molded 1/2 F2, giving both the trade size and the series
- 90 degree body with a male threaded hub for the enclosure side
- Nylon construction per the listing specification
- Photographed disassembly shows elbow body, black tapered bushing, red split sealing disc, and threaded gland nut
- Sold as one set of seven connectors
- Used and untested, sold as shown in the photos
- Cord range and electrical ratings not confirmed - verify against the datasheet before use
Applications
- A maintenance electrician landing SO cord into a junction box mounted tight to a wall, where a straight fitting would kink the cable as soon as it exits
- A machine builder wiring a control enclosure with little clearance behind the panel and cord runs that have to turn immediately
- A plant shop keeping a drawer of 1/2 inch fittings on hand for pump, motor, and lighting repairs where the next one is always needed at 4pm on a Friday
- Cord and plug assembly work on pendant stations and portable equipment that gets dragged, coiled, and pulled on
Frequently Asked Questions
What is actually marked on these connectors?
The elbow bodies are molded 1/2 F2 in a raised rectangle, and the single gland nut photographed face-on reads HUBBELL F2 PATENTED around the face with two small circular embossed logos beside the text. The other six nuts appear only from the side, so their faces were never legible to the camera. That is the full extent of the marking legible in the photos.
What size cord do they take?
The trade size marked on the body is 1/2 inch, which is the enclosure thread, not the cord. The cord diameter range is set by the black bushing and is not confirmed here - verify against the Hubbell datasheet before use.
Why choose the 90 degree body over a straight cord grip?
The angled body lets the cord leave the enclosure at a right angle rather than straight out, so the cable can run along a wall or a machine frame without a sharp bend right at the fitting. It is the usual answer when clearance behind the box is the problem.
Do all seven come apart into the same four pieces?
One connector was disassembled for the photos and separates into elbow body, black tapered bushing, red split sealing disc, and gland nut. The other six are shown assembled with their gland nuts fitted and were not opened, so treat the disassembled one as an illustration of the design rather than a guarantee about the internals of the rest.
These are used fittings. What am I taking on?
You are getting seven connectors exactly as photographed: dirt in the elbow radius, darkened residue on the ferrule threads, a rust colored speck on one body, and no testing of any kind on our end. Nothing has been cleaned up for the camera and nothing has been checked against a cord or a datasheet, so the photos are the spec and the condition risk is yours. What you get in exchange is a maker mark you can read, a trade size molded into the part, and seven of them at once instead of hunting one fitting at a time. Shipping is a flat $8, free once your order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Hubbell molded the word PATENTED into a gland nut that most electricians will never look at twice, which is the whole point of a cord grip: you only notice it the day it lets go. Seven of them here, already broken in, waiting for the next panel where the cable has to turn a corner.
