How to Install a 5341-PT Push-in Liquidtight Flexible Metal Conduit Fitting
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing a 5341-PT push-in liquidtight flexible metal conduit fitting, ensuring a secure and liquidtight connection. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Hacksaw or Band Saw, Deburring Tool, Torque Wrench
Supplies needed:
Liquidtight Flexible Metal Conduit
- Prepare the Conduit
WARNING: Disconnect power before installation to prevent risk of shock. Using a sharp hacksaw or band saw, cut the liquidtight flexible metal conduit cleanly and squarely. Remove any burrs or frayed material from the cut edge.
- Prepare the Fitting
Do not disassemble the fitting. Lightly spin the Gland Nut down until you feel minor resistance, indicating the Sealing Ring and Ground Cone chamfer are in contact.
- Insert the Conduit
Align the prepared conduit and carefully push it onto the exposed end of the Ground Cone. Once the conduit end enters the Sealing Ring, firmly push the conduit completely in until it bottoms out. To verify full insertion, mark the conduit from the cut end at the depth specified in the product table (e.g., 13/16" for 3/8" or 1/2" trade size); this mark should be level with the top of the sealing ring when fully inserted. Do not pull back on the conduit once it is fully inserted.
- Torque the Gland Nut
Torque the Gland Nut to the specified value from the product table (e.g., 200 lbs-in for 3/8" trade size, 300 lbs-in for 1/2", 500 lbs-in for 3/4", 700 lbs-in for 1"). The fitting must be fully torqued for proper performance.
- Note on Ground Cone Replacement
The Ground Cones in these fittings are for one-time use only. If the Ground Cone is ever removed from the conduit, replace the entire fitting with a new one to ensure proper performance and sealing.
