How to Install 5346SST6 Liquid-Tight Flexible Metallic Conduit Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly cutting flexible metallic conduit and assembling 5346SST6 stainless steel liquid-tight fittings for a secure and sealed connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw (32 Tooth/In. no. set, sharp), Metal Jig (for conduit cutting), Screwdriver (standard), Hammer, Torque Wrench (optional, for gland nut)

Supplies needed:

Liquid-tight flexible metallic conduit, 5346SST6 Stainless Steel Liquid-tight Fitting, LNSS/150 Locknut (for 1-1/2" NPT), 5266 Seal Gasket (for 1-1/2" NPT)

  1. Prepare the Flexible Metallic Conduit

    Cut the end of the flexible metallic conduit with a clean, square cut. Use a metal jig and a sharp hacksaw with 32 teeth per inch. For high production, a power band saw with 24-32 teeth per inch, operating at no more than 400 feet per minute, can be used. DO NOT use an abrasive wheel for cutting.

  2. Assemble Fitting Components onto Conduit

    Slide the gland nut onto the prepared end of the flexible conduit. Next, slide the nylon sealing ring onto the conduit. Finally, thread the SAFE-EDGE® ground cone onto the conduit end, ensuring it is properly seated.

  3. Install the Fitting into the Box Wall

    Insert the fitting body, with the assembled conduit and components, through the knockout hole in the box wall. For knockout applications, place the 5266 seal gasket against the box wall on the outside, then secure the fitting from the inside with an LNSS/150 locknut. Hand-tighten the locknut, then further tighten it 1/4 turn using a hammer and a standard screwdriver, or an equivalent method, to ensure a secure connection.

  4. Tighten the Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut onto the fitting body to the UL recommended value. For the 1-1/2" NPT fitting (5346SST6), the recommended tightening torque is 1200 lb-in (136 N-m). Ensure the gland nut is securely tightened to achieve a liquid-tight and dust-tight installation.
