Overview

The ABB 040-5333 Liquidtight Connector is a straight, insulated conduit joint engineered for secure, reliable joining of 3/4" flexible metal conduit in industrial and commercial electrical installations. This UL Listed connector meets NEC 351-9 requirements for liquidtight and grounding continuity, ensuring protection against moisture, dust, and mechanical stress in demanding environments. The Duraplated finish delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, extending service life in corrosive or washdown-prone areas such as manufacturing plants, outdoor installations, and food processing facilities. Each package includes 25 pieces, providing an efficient quantity for installation projects requiring multiple connections. The insulated design prevents direct contact with the conduit, adding an extra layer of safety in high-traffic or exposed wiring systems. Compatible with flexible metal conduit systems, this connector is ideal for applications where sealed conduit integrity is critical, including control panels, machinery enclosures, and outdoor electrical infrastructure. The straight configuration simplifies installation while maintaining a watertight seal, reducing the risk of electrical faults caused by environmental ingress.

How to Install T&B Liquidtight Flexible Metallic Conduit Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing T&B liquidtight flexible metallic conduit connectors, ensuring high performance and reliability in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Metal jig (optional), Power band saw (optional), Smooth jaw wrench, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

Liquidtight flexible metallic conduit, T&B liquidtight connector (e.g., 5330 Series), T&B 140 series locknuts (for knockout applications), 5260 series sealing gaskets (for knockout applications), PVC cement (if needed)

  1. Prioritize Safety

    WARNING: Disconnect all power before beginning installation to prevent risk of electric shock. Wear hand protection and eye protection during the installation process. Ensure installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

  2. Prepare the Flexible Conduit

    Cut the flexible conduit with a clean, square end. Use a metal jig (if available from conduit manufacturers) and a sharp hacksaw with 32 teeth/inch, or a power band saw with 24-32 teeth/inch (not exceeding 400 feet/minute). Do not use an abrasive wheel for cutting.

  3. Assemble the Connector Components

    For 5000, 7000, and 9000 series & PVC coated 3300 series connectors, first slide the gland nut onto the flexible conduit. Next, slide the nylon sealing ring onto the conduit. Finally, thread the Safe Edge™ Cone onto the conduit end.

  4. Install Connector to Box or Enclosure

    Insert the connector body into the knockout opening of the box or enclosure. For knockout applications, use T&B® 140 series locknuts and 5260 series sealing gaskets (purchase separately). Thread the locknut onto the connector body from inside the box and tighten it securely against the box wall. Ensure the 'O' ring is correctly positioned on the outside of the box for 5371 series and 5365-5370 series.

  5. Tighten the Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut onto the connector body to secure the liquidtight flexible metal conduit. Refer to the provided torque table for the correct tightening torque based on the trade size of the fitting (e.g., 3/8" = 200 lb.-in., 1/2" = 300 lb.-in., 1" = 700 lb.-in.). Use a torque wrench for accurate tightening. For PVC coated connectors, use a smooth jaw wrench to tighten; if gouging occurs exposing metal, PVC cement is recommended.

  6. Assemble Chase® Connectors (If Applicable)

    For 'Space Saver' Chase® connector assemblies, the lock-up can be made by either tightening the Chase® Nipple to the body or by turning the body onto the Chase® Nipple. Ensure the Chase® Nipple is positioned inside the knockout.
