Thomas Betts 2255 Liquidtight Elbow Strain Relief Cord Grip

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2255 is an elbow-style liquidtight strain relief cord grip designed to secure and protect flexible cables at conduit entry points where a 90-degree routing path is required. Built from iron for durability in industrial and commercial environments, it accepts cables ranging from 0.5 to 0.625 inches in diameter and connects via a 1-inch NPT thread. Electricians rely on this fitting to prevent cable pullout, reduce stress at the conduit entry, and maintain a liquidtight seal in wet or washdown-rated installations.

This cord grip is suited for use in commercial and industrial electrical installations where liquidtight conduit systems terminate at enclosures, junction boxes, or equipment panels. The elbow configuration is particularly useful in tight spaces where a straight cord grip would create excessive cable bend radius or clearance issues. It is installed by licensed electricians following NEC guidelines for liquidtight flexible metal or nonmetallic conduit systems.

Key Features

• Elbow shape provides 90-degree cable routing for space-constrained installations
• Accepts cable diameters from 0.5 to 0.625 inches
• 1-inch NPT thread for standard conduit and enclosure connections
• Iron construction for strength and durability in demanding environments
• Liquidtight conduit type rating helps maintain seal integrity at the entry point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for liquidtight conduit systems using 1-inch NPT threaded entry points with cables up to 0.625 inches in diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for liquidtight conduit fittings. De-energize the circuit and verify power is off before working on any enclosure or panel entry. Use the appropriate pipe wrenches or conduit fittings tools to achieve a proper thread engagement without overtightening, which can crack iron fittings. Confirm cable diameter falls within the 0.5 to 0.625 inch range before securing the grip to avoid inadequate strain relief.
