USZ-EX-M
Metric-Thread Strain-Relief Fittings for EX-Area Conduit Installations
FLEXA USZ-EX-M fittings are straight metal-body conduit connectors with an external Metric thread and integrated strain relief. They are designed to secure compatible flexible metal conduit where pull forces, vibration, or cable movement could place additional stress on the conduit connection.
USZ-EX-M fittings are intended for selected FLEXA conduit systems used in applicable EX-area installations. Their nickel-plated brass construction provides a durable metal-threaded connection, while the strain-relief design helps protect the conduit and enclosed wiring from excessive mechanical loading.
Choose the USZ-EX-M fitting by compatible conduit family, conduit size, Metric thread size, strain-relief requirement, and EX-area installation conditions.

How to Choose a FLEXA USZ-EX-M Fitting
Select the correct USZ-EX-M fitting by matching the following:
- Conduit family — confirm compatibility with one of the listed FLEXA SPR or FLEXAgraff conduit families.
- Conduit size — match the fitting to the conduit’s nominal size and outside diameter.
- Metric thread size — select the thread required by the enclosure, junction box, or equipment entry.
- Strain-relief requirement — use this family where pull forces, vibration, or cable movement could stress the conduit connection.
- EX-area requirement — confirm that the fitting, conduit, equipment, and complete installation meet the applicable EX-area requirements.
- Ingress protection — confirm that IP40 protection is suitable for the installation environment.
USZ-EX-M fittings are intended only for the compatible metallic conduit families listed on this page. For other conduit constructions or installations that do not require EX-area suitability, select the appropriate alternative metal-body fitting family.
