Overview

The ABB T&B 5356SST6HT 1-1/2" Liquidtight Fitting is a 90-degree, insulated stainless steel fitting designed for flexible metallic conduit in corrosive and outdoor environments. Constructed from type 316 stainless steel, this fitting resists corrosion from chemicals, moisture, and UV exposure, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh conditions. The NEMA 3, 3R, 4, and 4X ratings confirm its suitability for wet, dusty, and outdoor locations, including coastal or industrial sites where salt spray or chemical exposure is common. With a temperature range of 0°C to 150°C, it handles extreme heat without degradation, making it ideal for high-temperature applications such as chemical processing, food and beverage facilities, or wastewater treatment plants. The fitting’s dimensions are 4.58" (116.33mm) in length, 2.56" (65.02mm) in width, and 3.88" (98.55mm) in height, providing a compact yet robust solution for conduit routing. The stainless steel ground cone ensures secure grounding and continuity, meeting NEC and OSHA requirements for electrical safety. This fitting is a direct replacement for traditional metallic fittings prone to corrosion, reducing maintenance costs and downtime in critical operations. The inner sealing ring and glued-in-place insulator provide additional protection against moisture and contaminants, while the NPT threads ensure a secure, leak-proof connection. The 316 stainless steel construction offers superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for use in marine, chemical, and food processing environments. Compatible with flexible metallic conduit, this fitting is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where durability and corrosion resistance are critical. The 90-degree design allows for efficient conduit routing in tight spaces, reducing the need for additional bends or fittings. With a weight of 1.65 lbs (0.75 kg), it balances strength and portability for ease of installation.
  • Corrosive environments can cause traditional metallic fittings to corrode and require replacement.
  • The new stainless steel T&B Liquidtight Fittings are constructed of type 316 stainless steel to resist corrosion, all while offering high strength, UV resistance, and extreme performance up to 150 Degrees Celsius.
  • NEMA 3, 3R, 4, and 4X ratings for wet, dusty, and outdoor use
  • Temperature range: 0°C to 150°C
  • Dimensions: 4.58" (116.33mm) L x 2.56" (65.02mm) W x 3.88" (98.55mm) H

How to Install a 5356SST6HT Liquid-Tight Flexible Metallic Conduit Fitting

This guide provides instructions for assembling and installing a 5356SST6HT stainless steel liquid-tight fitting for flexible metallic conduit, including proper conduit preparation and tightening procedures.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Hammer, Hacksaw, Metal jig (optional), Power band saw (optional)

Supplies needed:

5356SST6HT Liquid-Tight Fitting, Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit, Seal Gasket (Part No. 5266), Locknut (Part No. LNSS/150)

  1. Prepare the Flexible Conduit

    Cut the end of the flexible conduit with a clean, square cut. Use a metal jig and a sharp hacksaw with 32 teeth/inch, or a power band saw with 24-32 teeth/inch for high production. Do not use an abrasive wheel.

  2. Assemble Fitting Components onto Conduit

    Slide the gland nut onto the prepared conduit, followed by the nylon sealing ring. Then, thread the SAFE-EDGE® ground cone onto the conduit end.

  3. Install Fitting into Box Wall

    Insert the threaded body of the fitting through the desired opening in the box wall. Place the seal gasket (Part No. 5266) against the box wall on the inside, then thread the locknut (Part No. LNSS/150) onto the fitting body.

  4. Secure the Locknut

    Hand-tighten the locknut, then further tighten it by 1/4 turn using a hammer and a standard screwdriver, or an equivalent method. The recommended torque for the LNSS/150 locknut is 190 lb-in (21.5 N-m).

  5. Secure the Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut onto the fitting body to the UL recommended value. For the 5356SST6HT fitting, the recommended tightening torque is 1,200 lb-in (136 N-m).
