Thomas Betts 2271 Liquidtight Elbow Cord Grip 3/4 Npt

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2271 is a liquidtight elbow strain relief cord grip designed to secure and protect electrical cables where they enter conduit or enclosures at an angle. Constructed from iron, this elbow-style fitting accepts cables ranging from 0.25 to 0.375 inches in diameter and threads into a standard 3/4-inch NPT entry point. The 90-degree elbow body reduces bend stress on cables at tight entry points, and the liquidtight design helps prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the conduit system. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians use this fitting in panel, junction box, and enclosure installations where cable routing requires a directional change at the entry point.

This cord grip is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where conduit entries require liquidtight strain relief at an elbow. Typical applications include motor junction boxes, control panels, and enclosures where cables must exit at an angle to follow a conduit run or equipment layout. The 3/4-inch NPT thread size is one of the most common knockout and hub sizes found in standard electrical enclosures, making the 2271 a frequent go-to fitting for service and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Elbow body redirects cable entry to reduce stress and improve routing at enclosure knockouts
• Accepts cable diameters from 0.25 to 0.375 inches
• 3/4-inch NPT thread fits standard electrical enclosure hubs and knockouts
• Iron construction provides durability in industrial and commercial environments
• Liquidtight design helps keep moisture and debris out of the conduit system

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for liquidtight conduit systems using 3/4-inch NPT threaded entries and cables with an outside diameter between 0.25 and 0.375 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize the circuit and verify with a meter before working inside any enclosure. Apply thread sealant or tape to the NPT threads as required by local code to maintain a liquidtight seal. Tighten the fitting to the enclosure hub using the appropriate conduit fitting wrench — do not overtighten iron fittings, as cracking can occur.
