Thomas Betts 5353 Liquid-tight Conduit Connector 3/4 in

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 5353 is an angled, insulated conduit connector designed for liquid-tight flexible metal conduit in 3/4 inch trade size. Constructed from malleable iron, this threaded connector provides a secure, watertight and oiltight termination at enclosure knockouts. The angled body helps manage routing in tight spaces where a straight connector would create excessive bend stress on the conduit. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting where environmental sealing and mechanical protection are both required.

This connector is suited for both hazardous and non-hazardous locations, making it appropriate across a wide range of commercial, industrial, and institutional electrical installations. Typical applications include motor connections, pump wiring, HVAC equipment terminations, and any conduit run that requires a watertight or oiltight seal at the enclosure entry point. The insulated throat protects conductor insulation from abrasion at the point of entry.

Key Features

• Angled connector body assists conduit routing in confined or congested enclosure entry locations
• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress
• Insulated throat protects wire insulation at the conduit termination point
• Threaded connection type ensures a secure, consistent fit at standard knockouts
• Rated for watertight and oiltight applications
• Approved for use in hazardous and non-hazardous locations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4 inch trade size liquid-tight flexible metal conduit in watertight, oiltight, hazardous, and non-hazardous location installations.

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 verify absence of voltage before beginning conduit termination work. Hand-tighten the connector onto the conduit and into the knockout, then use appropriate pliers or a conduit fitting wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free connection without over-tightening the malleable iron body. Verify the insulated throat is fully seated to protect conductors at the point of entry.
