Thomas Betts 5345 Liquid-tight Conduit Connector 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 5345 is an angled, insulated liquid-tight conduit connector fabricated from malleable iron. It accepts a 1-1/4 inch trade size conduit and uses a threaded connection to form a secure, watertight and oiltight seal between flexible liquid-tight conduit and an enclosure knockout. The angled body geometry simplifies routing in tight spaces where a straight connector would create excessive conduit bend radius. Electricians install this fitting where conduit must terminate at panel knockouts, junction boxes, or equipment enclosures in demanding environments.

This connector is rated for use in hazardous locations as well as non-hazardous, oiltight, and watertight applications. It is suited for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and any installation where liquid-tight flexible metal conduit must connect to an enclosure while maintaining environmental sealing integrity. The insulated throat protects conductor insulation from abrasion at the point of entry, which is a code-driven requirement in many installations.

Key Features

• Angled connector body simplifies conduit routing in confined or congested enclosure entries
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical damage in industrial environments
• Insulated throat protects wire insulation at the conduit entry point
• Threaded connection delivers a reliable, vibration-resistant seal
• Rated for hazardous, non-hazardous, oiltight, and watertight areas of application
• 1-1/4 inch trade size fits standard liquid-tight flexible conduit of the same trade designation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch trade size liquid-tight flexible metal conduit systems in hazardous and non-hazardous locations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local amendments. De-energize the circuit and lock out the enclosure before beginning conduit termination work. Hand-tighten the fitting first, then use a wrench to seat the threaded connection fully without overtightening, which can crack the malleable iron body. Verify that the insulated throat is fully seated and undamaged before pulling conductors through the fitting.
