Overview

The ABB 5357-8PT is a 2-inch, 90-degree angle liquidtight flexible metal conduit connector designed for secure and reliable electrical connections. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this connector is UL Listed for liquidtight applications, ensuring protection against moisture and other environmental contaminants. Its insulated design provides an additional layer of safety for electrical systems. For installations in wet locations requiring a seal between the box and the fitting in knockout applications, the catalog description specifies the use of a #5267 sealing ring. This component is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the enclosure and preventing ingress of water or other fluids, thereby safeguarding the electrical circuit. The 90-degree angle configuration is ideal for navigating tight spaces and making efficient turns within electrical raceways. This connector is part of the UNSPSC 39121420 product category, indicating its function within electrical conduit fittings. The robust construction and UL listing make the 5357-8PT suitable for industrial environments where conduit protection is paramount. It is designed to facilitate the connection of liquidtight flexible metal conduit to enclosures, junction boxes, or other electrical equipment, ensuring a secure and sealed pathway for conductors.

How to Install T&B Liquidtight Connectors

This guide details the proper installation of T&B liquidtight connectors with flexible metallic conduit, ensuring secure and reliable electrical connections in accordance with safety standards.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Power band saw, Metal jig, Smooth jaw wrench, Torque wrench, Safety glasses, Work gloves

Supplies needed:

Liquidtight flexible metallic conduit, T&B liquidtight connector (with gland nut, sealing ring, cone), T&B 140 series locknut (if needed), T&B 5260 series sealing gasket (if needed), PVC cement (if needed)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety

    Before beginning, disconnect all power to the electrical system to prevent electric shock. Ensure the installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Always wear hand and eye protection during the process.

  2. Cut the Flexible Conduit

    Cut the liquidtight flexible metallic conduit with a clean, square end. For best results, use a metal jig and a sharp hacksaw (32 teeth/inch) or a power band saw (24-32 teeth/inch, not exceeding 400 ft/minute). Do not use an abrasive wheel.

  3. Assemble the Connector Components

    For 5000, 7000, 9000 series, and PVC coated 3300 series connectors, slide the gland nut onto the conduit, followed by the nylon sealing ring. Then, thread in the Safe Edge™ Cone. If using a PVC coated connector, tighten with a smooth jaw wrench; apply PVC cement if metal is exposed due to gouging.

  4. Secure the Connector to the Knockout Box

    Insert the connector body through the knockout hole in the box wall. For knockout applications, use a T&B® 140 series locknut and a 5260 series sealing gasket (purchased separately). Tighten the locknut to the connector body according to the specified torque for the fitting's trade size (e.g., 200 lb-in for 3/8", 300 lb-in for 1/2", 500 lb-in for 3/4", 700 lb-in for 1", 1000 lb-in for 1 1/4", 1200 lb-in for 1 1/2", 1600 lb-in for 2" to 4"). Ensure the 'Box side' is correctly positioned on the outside of the box.
