How to Install a Push-in Liquidtight Flexible Metal Conduit Fitting (5251-PT Series)
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing a 5251-PT series push-in liquidtight flexible metal conduit fitting. Ensure to use only UL 360 and CSA C22.2 No. 56 compliant conduit. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to prevent risk of shock or injury.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Sharp hacksaw, Band saw, Torque wrench
Supplies needed:
Liquidtight flexible metal conduit
- Prepare the Conduit
Using a sharp hacksaw or band saw, cut the liquidtight flexible metal conduit, ensuring the end cut is clean and square. Carefully remove any burrs or frayed material from the cut edge.
- Prepare the Fitting
Do not disassemble the fitting. Lightly spin the Gland Nut clockwise until you feel minor resistance, indicating that the Sealing Ring and Ground Cone chamfer are in contact.
- Insert Conduit into Fitting
Align the prepared conduit with the exposed end of the Ground Cone. Carefully push the conduit into the fitting. Once the conduit begins to enter the Sealing Ring, firmly push it completely until it bottoms out. To verify full insertion, refer to the product documentation for the specific conduit insert depth for your trade size and ensure the conduit is inserted to that depth. Do not pull back on the conduit once it is fully inserted.
- Secure the Gland Nut
Using a torque wrench, tighten the Gland Nut to the specified torque value for your conduit's trade size. Refer to the product documentation for the exact torque values (e.g., 3/8" = 200 lbs-in, 1/2" = 300 lbs-in, 3/4" = 500 lbs-in, 1" = 700 lbs-in). Ensure the fitting is fully torqued for proper performance.
