Nonmetallic sheathed electrical cable mounting

摘要

A bracket for securing an NM cable includes a generally planar member having a bore having a first diameter defined therein; a sleeve having an inside diameter that is greater than said first diameter, the sleeve is coupled to the bore; and a collar is disposed within the sleeve and substantially abuts the generally planar member, the collar has an outside diameter that allows insertion within the sleeve and an inside diameter that is smaller than the outside diameter thereof whereby the flexible metallic sheathing of an associated cable will abut the collar and the conductors thereof will pass through the collar and the bore. In addition the bracket may include a clamp on the sleeve dimensioned and configured for engaging the outer surface of an associated flexible metallic conduit.

1. A method for mounting a non-metallic sheathed cable for passage through a passageway in an associated wallboard which comprises:
providing a flat plate having a first bore extending therethrough; aligning said first bore with the passageway; providing a flexible metallic sheath; providing a housing having a second bore dimensioned for receiving the flexible metallic sheath and communicating with the first bore and having a blocking member therein that blocks axial movement of the flexible metallic sheath and allows passage of the conductors in the non-metallic sheathed cable; positioning a flexible metallic sheath in the second bore in abutting relationship with the blocking member; and clamping the flexible metallic sheath in the second bore positioning the non-metallic sheathed cable within the axial section of flexible metallic sheath.
