Mars mars-85018 Liquid Tight Conduit Connector 1 in Pvc

Product Description

The MARS mars-85018 is a straight liquid tight non-metallic conduit connector designed for use with 1-inch trade size liquid tight flexible non-metallic conduit. Constructed from PVC, this connector provides a secure, watertight termination point where flexible conduit meets an enclosure, junction box, or panel knockout. It is suited for installations requiring moisture resistance without the added weight or conductivity concerns of metallic fittings. Electricians reach for this type of fitting in wet, damp, or corrosive environments where a reliable seal is needed at the conduit-to-enclosure transition.

This connector is commonly used in commercial and residential electrical installations, including HVAC equipment connections, pool and spa wiring, outdoor panels, and industrial control enclosures. The straight body style is appropriate for direct entry where conduit runs perpendicular to the enclosure wall. It is a standard fitting choice whenever liquid tight flexible non-metallic conduit must terminate cleanly and securely at an electrical enclosure in a damp or wet-rated location.

Key Features

• Straight body design for direct perpendicular conduit entry into enclosures
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and damp environments
• 1-inch trade size fits standard 1-inch liquid tight flexible non-metallic conduit
• Non-metallic build eliminates grounding path concerns in non-metallic wiring systems
• Liquid tight design seals the conduit-to-enclosure connection against moisture intrusion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 1-inch trade size liquid tight flexible non-metallic conduit systems in residential and commercial electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and verify power is off before making conduit connections at any enclosure. Hand-tighten the connector into the knockout and secure with the included locknut to achieve a proper liquid tight seal without over-torquing the PVC body. Inspect the conduit sealing ring for proper seating before completing the installation.
