Thomas Betts 2272 Liquidtight Elbow Cord Grip 3/4 Npt

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2272 is an elbow-style liquidtight strain relief cord grip designed to secure and protect electrical cables at conduit entry points while maintaining a watertight seal. Constructed from iron, this fitting threads into a 3/4-inch NPT knockout or conduit fitting and accommodates cable outside diameters ranging from 0.375 to 0.5 inches. The 90-degree elbow configuration allows cables to exit at a right angle, reducing bend stress on conductors in tight enclosure installations. Electricians install this fitting in control panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures where liquidtight protection and mechanical strain relief are required together.

This cord grip is suited for industrial and commercial electrical installations where cables must enter enclosures at a right angle without compromising moisture resistance. Typical applications include motor control panels, machinery wiring, outdoor electrical enclosures, and any installation where a standard straight cord grip would create excessive cable bend or tension. The iron construction makes it appropriate for environments requiring a more durable metal fitting over nylon or thermoplastic alternatives.

Key Features

• Elbow (90-degree) body routes cables cleanly in space-constrained enclosures
• Liquidtight conduit-type design maintains a watertight seal at the cable entry point
• Accepts cable outside diameters from 0.375 to 0.5 inches
• Iron construction provides durability in industrial environments
• 3/4-inch NPT thread fits standard knockout and conduit fittings
• Provides mechanical strain relief to reduce pull-out stress on conductors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch NPT liquidtight conduit entries accommodating cables with an outside diameter of 0.375 to 0.5 inches.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage at the enclosure before beginning work. Thread the fitting into the NPT knockout by hand first, then tighten with an appropriate wrench — do not overtighten iron fittings, as cracking can occur. Confirm the cable is fully seated and the strain relief clamp is engaged before closing the enclosure.
