Thomas Betts 5349 Liquid-tight Conduit Connector 3 Inch

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 5349 is an angled, insulated liquid-tight conduit connector designed for threaded connections in electrical conduit systems. Constructed from malleable iron, this fitting provides a durable, secure termination point for liquid-tight flexible conduit at a 3-inch trade size. The insulated design protects conductors from abrasion at the connector entry point. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting in applications requiring resistance to moisture, oil, and environmental contaminants, making it a standard choice for industrial and commercial conduit runs.

This connector is rated for use in hazardous locations, non-hazardous locations, oiltight environments, and watertight installations. The angled connector shape accommodates conduit routing in tight spaces or where a straight connector would create excessive bend stress on the conduit. It is commonly installed on motor connections, control panels, pump enclosures, and other equipment where liquid-tight flexible conduit terminates at a threaded knockout or hub.

Key Features

• Angled connector shape for routing in space-constrained installations
• Malleable iron construction for durability in demanding industrial environments
• Insulated interior to protect conductor insulation at the fitting entry
• Threaded connection type for secure, reliable termination
• Rated for hazardous, non-hazardous, oiltight, and watertight applications
• 3-inch trade size fits corresponding liquid-tight flexible conduit

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch trade size liquid-tight flexible conduit in threaded conduit systems. Suitable for hazardous location, non-hazardous, oiltight, and watertight installations per the application ratings provided by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and lock out the panel before beginning any conduit termination work. Ensure the threaded knockout or hub is clean and free of debris before threading the connector into place. Do not overtighten the connector body, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
