Abb 5253 Liquidtight Conduit Fitting 90 Degree 3/4 in

Product Description

The ABB 5253 is a non-insulated, 90-degree liquidtight conduit fitting designed for use with 3/4-inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC). Constructed from malleable iron, this fitting provides a secure, watertight connection at right-angle transitions in conduit runs. Electricians use it where conduit must change direction while maintaining protection against moisture, oils, and contaminants. The 90-degree angle suits tight equipment enclosures, motor connections, and panel entries where straight fittings cannot accommodate the bend radius. The malleable iron body resists mechanical stress and suits indoor and outdoor installations in industrial and commercial environments.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations wherever 3/4-inch LFMC terminates at a junction box, motor, disconnect, or enclosure requiring a 90-degree entry. It is a standard choice for HVAC equipment connections, pump motor wiring, and machinery installations where flexible conduit must transition to a fixed enclosure at a right angle. Licensed electricians typically install it during new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle suits tight-clearance equipment enclosures and motor terminations
• Non-insulated design for standard LFMC terminations
• Malleable iron body provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress
• Compatible with 3/4-inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use in wet and oily environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 3/4-inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit systems in commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for liquidtight fittings and flexible conduit systems. De-energize all circuits before beginning any conduit work and confirm lockout/tagout procedures are followed. Hand-tighten the fitting onto the conduit and use a wrench to secure the locknut to the enclosure knockout, taking care not to overtighten malleable iron components. Inspect the sealing ring or bushing for proper seating to maintain the liquidtight rating of the assembly.
