Overview

The ABB 040-5342 is a 1/2 inch insulated liquidtight connector designed for flexible metal conduit systems. This 45-degree angle connector facilitates efficient routing in confined spaces and complex installations, reducing stress on conduit systems by minimizing sharp bends. The connector features a durable Duraplated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and long-term performance in industrial environments where moisture, dust, and contaminants are present. The body and gland are constructed from nylon in a grey finish, with a black nitrile O-ring for watertight sealing. The locknut is nylon, and the temperature rating is 80°C. Each unit is sold in a package of 25 pieces, making it suitable for projects requiring multiple connections. The connector uses 1/2-14 NPT threads and has a minimum throat diameter of 0.550 inches. Applications include industrial electrical installations, hazardous locations (Class I, Div. 2; Class II, Div. 1 and 2; Class III, Div. 1 and 2 where permitted), and environments requiring Type 4 watertight protection. The CSA Certified watertight designation ensures reliability in demanding conditions. This connector is ideal for use with flexible metal conduit in manufacturing plants, chemical processing facilities, food and beverage processing, and outdoor installations where environmental protection is critical.

How to Install T&B Liquidtight Flexible Metallic Conduit Connectors

This guide provides instructions for the proper installation of T&B liquidtight connectors with flexible metallic conduit, ensuring high performance and reliability in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Metal jig, Hacksaw, Power band saw, Smooth jaw wrench, Hand protection, Eye protection

Supplies needed:

Liquidtight flexible metallic conduit, T&B liquidtight connector (gland nut, nylon sealing ring, Safe Edge™ Cone, body, locknut), T&B 140 series locknuts (optional, for knockout applications), T&B 5260 series sealing gaskets (optional, for knockout applications), PVC cement (optional)

  1. Disconnect Power and Prepare Conduit

    WARNING: Disconnect all power before beginning installation to prevent risk of shock. Wear appropriate hand and eye protection. CAUTION: Product should be installed by a qualified electrician. Cut the flexible conduit with a clean, square end using a metal jig, a 32 Tooth/ln. hacksaw, or a 24-32 Tooth/ln. power band saw (not more than 400'/minute). Do not use an abrasive wheel.

  2. Assemble Connector Components

    For 5000, 7000, 9000 series, and PVC coated 3300 series connectors, first slide the gland nut onto the conduit. Next, slide the nylon sealing ring onto the conduit. Finally, thread the Safe Edge™ Cone onto the conduit. For PVC coated connectors, tighten components using a smooth jaw wrench; if gouging occurs exposing metal, apply PVC cement.

  3. Install Connector into Knockout Box

    Insert the connector body into the knockout box. For knockout applications, use T&B® 140 series locknuts and 5260 series sealing gaskets, which are purchased separately. For 7000 and 9000 series, order the locknut separately. Ensure any captive 'O' ring (e.g., 5371 series) is correctly positioned on the outside of the box.

  4. Secure the Connector with Proper Torque

    Tighten the locknut to the connector body to secure the connection. Refer to the torque table for the correct tightening torque based on the trade size of the fitting: 3/8" (200 lb.-in.), 1/2" (300 lb.-in.), 3/4" (500 lb.-in.), 1" (700 lb.-in.), 1 1/4" (1000 lb.-in.), 1 1/2" (1200 lb.-in.), 2" (1600 lb.-in.), 2 1/2" (1600 lb.-in.), 3" (1600 lb.-in.), 3 1/2" (1600 lb.-in.), 4" (1600 lb.-in.).
