Thomas & Betts 5386 Straight Insulated Liquidtight Connector

Description:

The Thomas & Betts 5386 Straight Insulated Liquidtight Connector is used to terminate 6-inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) to electrical boxes and enclosures while providing a secure, liquidtight, and mechanically bonded connection. Commonly installed in power generation facilities, heavy industrial plants, petrochemical operations, wastewater treatment facilities, and other large-scale electrical installations, this malleable iron connector features a thermoplastic insulated throat and electro zinc-plated finish for superior conductor protection and corrosion resistance. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this fitting for repair, retrofit, expansion, and replacement of large-diameter liquidtight conduit systems.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts 5386 is designed for connecting 6-inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit to switchgear, motor control centers, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and industrial equipment where a straight conduit entry is required. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations exposed to continuous or intermittent moisture, providing a positive conduit-to-enclosure bond while maintaining a liquidtight seal in demanding commercial and industrial environments.
