Overview

The ABB 5356-NB 90° liquid-tight fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant connection for conduit systems in industrial environments. Designed for trade size 1-1/2" conduit with 1-1/2" NPT threaded ends, this nickel-plated brass fitting ensures corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. The 90° bend allows for directional changes while maintaining liquid-tight integrity, making it ideal for applications requiring protection against moisture, dust, and contaminants. Compatible with standard EMT, IMC, or rigid conduit systems, the fitting meets NEC and OSHA requirements for electrical installations. Its durable construction resists vibration, impact, and chemical exposure, ensuring consistent performance in harsh conditions. The precision-machined threads provide a tight seal when paired with liquid-tight flexible conduit, preventing ingress of liquids or particulates. Suitable for use in manufacturing plants, chemical processing facilities, food and beverage production, and outdoor installations where environmental protection is critical.

How to Install T&B Liquid-Tight Flexible Metallic Conduit Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the proper installation of T&B Liquid-Tight Flexible Metallic Conduit (LFMC) Fittings, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw (32 teeth/inch) or Power Band Saw, Metal Jig, Wrench, Hammer, Standard Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC), T&B Liquid-Tight Fitting (e.g., 9334-NB), T&B Series LNB Locknuts (if needed), T&B Series 5260 Seal Gaskets (if needed), Protective Gloves, Safety Glasses

  1. Prepare for Installation and Observe Safety

    Before starting, read and understand all instructions and safety information. Disconnect power to prevent risk of shock. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses. Ensure installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

  2. Cut the Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC)

    Using a metal jig and a sharp hacksaw (32 teeth/inch) or a power band saw (24-32 teeth/inch at max 400 ft/min), cut the end of the flexible conduit with a clean, square cut. DO NOT use an abrasive wheel for cutting.

  3. Assemble the Fitting Components onto the Conduit

    First, slide the gland nut onto the cut end of the flexible conduit. Next, slide the nylon sealing ring onto the conduit. Finally, thread the SAFE-EDGE® ground cone into the conduit end.

  4. Install the Fitting into the Box Wall

    Insert the assembled fitting into the knockout opening of the box wall. For knockout applications, use a T&B Series LNB locknut and a T&B Series 5260 seal gasket (purchased separately) on the inside of the box wall to secure the fitting.

  5. Tighten the Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut to the UL recommended torque value specified in the product table (e.g., 1600 lb-in for 9334-NB). Ensure a secure, liquid-tight connection.

  6. Secure the Locknut (if applicable)

    If using a locknut, hand-tighten it, then further tighten it by an additional 1/4 turn using a hammer and a standard screwdriver, or an equivalent method, to meet UL, CSA, and NEMA recommendations.
