Thomas Betts 2285 Liquidtight Elbow Cord Grip 2 Inch Npt

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2285 is a liquidtight elbow strain relief cord grip designed to secure and protect cables entering conduit or enclosures at an angle. Built from iron, this fitting accepts cable or cord diameters from 1.375 to 1.625 inches and connects via a 2-inch NPT threaded entry. The elbow configuration allows conductors to exit at a 90-degree angle, reducing bend stress on cables and helping maintain a secure, liquidtight seal at the entry point. Electricians install this fitting in industrial, commercial, and outdoor applications where moisture resistance and mechanical cable protection are required at enclosure entries.

This cord grip is suited for use in wet or damp locations where conduit entries must remain sealed against liquids. The elbow shape makes it well-suited for installations where cable routing must change direction close to an enclosure wall or junction box. It is commonly used in industrial control panels, motors, pumps, and outdoor electrical enclosures requiring a 2-inch NPT liquidtight connection with reliable strain relief.

Key Features

• Elbow configuration allows 90-degree cable entry, reducing cable bend stress at enclosure openings
• Accepts cable or cord outer diameters from 1.375 to 1.625 inches
• 2-inch NPT threaded connection for standard conduit entry compatibility
• Iron construction provides durability and mechanical strength in demanding environments
• Liquidtight design helps seal enclosure entries against moisture ingress

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style strain relief fitting for electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and conduit systems requiring a 2-inch NPT liquidtight elbow cord grip connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for liquidtight fittings and cord grip assemblies. De-energize all circuits and disconnect power at the panel before beginning any enclosure or conduit work. Ensure the NPT threads are properly engaged and the fitting is tightened to a secure, leak-resistant connection without over-stressing the iron body. Verify that the cable outer diameter falls within the 1.375 to 1.625 inch range before final assembly.
