Why Contractors Choose It
- Listed for the applications stated on the Arlington spec sheet, so there are no jurisdictional surprises at inspection.
- Snap-on and lock-style options that meet the CEC bonding requirement at the fitting without a separate ground-bushing SKU.
- Distributed by a Canadian-owned stocking dealer. Maple Electric Supply ships from Ontario, so the SKU lands on site without cross-border duty calcs or week-long customs holds.
- Backed by Arlington's North American manufacturing footprint: the same part number you've already spec'd on prior jobs, with the same listings.
- Replacement and add-on availability runs through a Canadian supply channel, so short-notice job sites can pull additional units without re-engineering the order.

Installation Notes
- MC and AC cable connectors must be listed for the cable type. Anti-short bushings required on metal-clad cable per CEC 12-1116.
-
Primary code reference: CEC Section 12-1000 (Armoured Cable AC90/ACWU90); CEC 12-1100 (MC Cable).
- Verify the Arlington listing on the current spec sheet matches your local AHJ's adopted code edition. Provincial amendments to the CEC can override the federal base text.
- Confirm trade size, mounting style, and accessory pairing against the project drawings before ordering in volume. Maple Electric Supply's counter staff can pull the cut sheet on request.
- Installation must be completed by a qualified electrician where required by local code; the homeowner / unlicensed scope is narrower in Ontario than in several US jurisdictions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Patterns we see on returns, callbacks, and inspection re-visits around the Flex AC MC Fittings line: most of them small, all of them avoidable when the right SKU and accessory get pulled at the counter.
- Skipping the anti-short bushing (CEC 12-1116 violation)
- Using AC connector on MC cable (different listings)
- Over-tightening the saddle screw (cuts the jacket)
- Mixing Snap2It and traditional locknut connectors on the same run

Sourcing in Ontario
For contractors specifying the Arlington SG75ST on a project, Maple Electric Supply can confirm in-stock counts before you commit on the bid, which helps when the install window is tight or the substitution clause in the spec is closed. Larger orders qualify for project pricing, and replacement SKUs ship from Ontario stock instead of waiting on a cross-border backorder.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the Arlington SG75ST UL and/or CSA listed?
Arlington components are listed for the applications stated by the manufacturer. Always verify the listing on the product's spec sheet against your jurisdiction's adopted code.
-
Is this part made in the USA?
Arlington Industries manufactures the bulk of its catalog in the United States. Confirm origin on the current spec sheet if it matters for your project.
-
What cable type does this connect (AC90, MC, ACWU90, flex)?
Varies by configuration: check the SG75ST datasheet for the exact dimensions, ratings, and accessory list before ordering in volume. Arlington updates spec sheets periodically, so spec the live version from the manufacturer's site for the current job.
-
Trade size?
The SG75ST is a 3/4" trade-size fitting.
-
Does it require an anti-short bushing (and is one included)?
The SG75ST datasheet is the authoritative source on this. Arlington publishes torque specs, listed conductor ranges, and accepted accessories per part number, and those values shift between revisions even when the SKU stays the same.
-
Snap-in (Snap2It), screw-in, or saddle style?
Confirm against the published Arlington SG75ST cut sheet; values shift between configurations even inside the same family. Maple Electric Supply can email a current copy on request and flag any recent revisions that changed listed ratings.
-
Is the body insulated at the throat?
Maple Electric Supply can pull the SG75ST spec sheet on request. Answers here depend on the specific configuration and the listed conditions of use. Anything that affects code compliance should come straight from the manufacturer's current published documentation.
