Overview

ABB’s 5248GR 2 1/2" 45° Malleable Iron External Bonding Liquidtight Connector provides a reliable, non-insulated solution for grounding and bonding in liquidtight conduit systems. Constructed from malleable iron, this connector ensures durability and mechanical strength while maintaining electrical continuity. The 45° angle design facilitates easier installation in tight spaces, reducing bend requirements and minimizing stress on conduit runs. This connector is rated for use with 2 1/2" liquidtight flexible metallic conduit (LFMC) and is designed for external bonding applications where a non-insulated grounding path is required. The malleable iron construction offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel, extending service life in harsh environments. Common applications include industrial machinery, HVAC systems, and commercial electrical installations where liquidtight conduit is specified for moisture and chemical resistance. The external bonding feature ensures compliance with NEC and OSHA grounding requirements, providing a secure connection point for grounding conductors.
  • 2 1/2" size for 2.5" LFMC compatibility
  • 45° angle design for easier installation in tight spaces
  • Malleable iron construction for corrosion resistance and durability
  • Non-insulated for direct grounding/bonding applications
  • UL and CSA certified for safety and compliance
