Product Description
The MARS 13171 is a non-metallic, straight liquid tight connector designed for use with both metallic and non-metallic liquid tight conduit, Type B. It provides a smooth, secure connection with no sharp edges that could strip or damage wire insulation during pull-through. The fitting accepts 3/4 inch conduit and is built for electrical wiring applications where moisture resistance and flexibility are required. It carries UL and C-UL listings, making it suitable for installations subject to inspection. Electricians use this connector wherever liquid tight conduit terminates at a box, enclosure, or equipment knockout.
This connector is appropriate for residential and commercial electrical installations. Common applications include HVAC equipment wiring, condensate-area conduit runs, outdoor disconnect connections, and any wiring environment where conduit must terminate at an enclosure in a wet or damp location. The straight-body design suits direct entry into knockouts without requiring angled clearance. Its non-metallic construction resists corrosion, making it a practical choice in coastal, chemical, or high-humidity environments.
Key Features
- Fits 3/4 inch liquid tight conduit, both metallic and non-metallic Type B
- Smooth interior bore with no sharp edges to nick or strip wire during pull-through
- Non-metallic body resists corrosion in wet and chemically harsh environments
- Straight fitting for direct knockout entry without offset clearance requirements
- UL Listed and C-UL Listed for code-compliant installations
Compatibility
Designed for use with metallic and non-metallic liquid tight flexible conduit, Type B, in 3/4 inch trade size.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for liquid tight flexible conduit terminations. De-energize the circuit and equipment before beginning conduit work. Insert the conduit fully into the connector and tighten the locknut securely against the enclosure wall to maintain the liquid tight seal. Avoid over-tightening non-metallic fittings, as the body can crack under excessive torque.
