How to Install the T&B 5361 Series Liquidtight Connector
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the proper installation of T&B 5361 series liquidtight connectors with flexible metallic conduit, ensuring a secure and reliable connection to an electrical box.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Hacksaw (32 Tooth/in), Power band saw (optional, for high production), Metal jig (optional, for cutting conduit), Smooth jaw wrench, Hand protection, Eye protection
Supplies needed:
Liquidtight flexible metallic conduit, T&B 140 series locknut (if not included with connector), T&B 5260 series sealing gasket (if not included with connector)
- Prepare for Installation and Disconnect Power
WARNING: Disconnect all power to the electrical system before beginning installation to prevent risk of shock. Ensure you wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including hand and eye protection. Verify the 5361 series connector is the correct size for your liquidtight flexible metallic conduit and the electrical box knockout.
- Cut the Flexible Conduit
Cut the liquidtight flexible metallic conduit with a clean, square end cut. For best results, use a metal jig, a 32 Tooth/inch sharp hacksaw, or a 24-32 Tooth/inch wavy set power band saw (not exceeding 400 feet/minute). Do not use an abrasive wheel for cutting.
- Assemble and Secure Conduit to Connector Body
Slide the gland nut onto the cut end of the flexible conduit. Next, slide the nylon sealing ring onto the conduit. (Note: For 5361-5364 series, the O-ring may be captive or integrated into a one-piece sealing ring). Insert the conduit into the connector body, ensuring the Safe Edge™ Cone is properly seated within the body. Tighten the gland nut onto the connector body to securely grip the conduit and create a liquidtight seal.
- Mount and Secure the Connector to the Electrical Box
Insert the assembled connector body through the knockout hole in the electrical box. From inside the box, place the locknut onto the connector body. Tighten the locknut to secure the connector body to the box wall. Refer to the provided torque table for the appropriate tightening torque based on the fitting's trade size (e.g., 3/8" = 200 lb-in, 1/2" = 300 lb-in, 3/4" = 500 lb-in). Use a smooth jaw wrench to prevent gouging.
