Appleton 4Q-438T Insulated Liquidtight Connector 45 Deg 3/8

Product Description

The APPLETON 4Q-438T is an insulated liquidtight connector with a 45-degree angle configuration and a 3/8 inch trade size. This fitting is designed to provide a secure, moisture-resistant connection between liquidtight flexible conduit and an enclosure or junction box knockout. The insulated throat protects wire insulation from abrasion at the point of entry. Electricians install this type of connector in commercial and industrial applications where flexible conduit must terminate at an angle to reduce stress on the conduit and wiring.

This connector is suited for use in electrical installations requiring a 45-degree offset at the conduit termination point. Common applications include machine tool wiring, HVAC equipment connections, and industrial control panels where standard straight connectors would create excessive conduit bend radius. The 3/8 inch trade size accommodates the corresponding liquidtight flexible metallic or non-metallic conduit commonly used in those installations.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle body reduces conduit stress at the termination point
• Insulated throat protects wire insulation from abrasion
• 3/8 inch trade size fits standard liquidtight flexible conduit of the same trade size
• Liquidtight design provides moisture-resistant conduit termination
• Compact profile suitable for tight enclosure knockouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 3/8 inch trade size liquidtight flexible conduit in standard electrical enclosure knockouts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before beginning conduit termination work. Verify that the knockout diameter is appropriate for the 3/8 inch trade size before installation. Do not overtighten the locknut, as this may damage the insulated throat or fitting body.
