Please note: Although I am a new poster here, I am telling you now before you ask that I am qualified for the work implied herein.

That said, I've never installed one of these strain relief baskets. Will the size basket below hold a 12/3 SOOW cable? Or is it too big? Amazon has some good deals, but you can't tell $#!% from their pictures....

Thanks

You just didn't read too far into the description. It's also stamped into the basket head if you zoom in on the picture.

So it would work for 12/3 SOOW? Not familiar with the .520 and .730 cord ranges. Unless I'm being stupid and missing something. However, that's likely.

12/3 SOOW cable should be .610 diameter.

It all depends on the thickness of the jacket

You'd be best off to measure the OD of the cable you have and then order the proper Kelems grip... I usually do that with SOW and with larger teck cable...

Don't you work with a wholesaler? When I need a basket, which is often, I just tell them the size cord I'm using and they send it out. They have a chart

Usually we get our cable from one and fittings from another.. I have phoned the cable supplier to get the od of teck before so that I could get the jump on the connectors, but usually wait til it gets on site...

So then I'd tell the other supplier I have 12-3 SJO what size strain relief do I need.

Tough job
