How to Install T&B Liquidtight Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the proper installation of T&B liquidtight flexible metallic conduit connectors, ensuring high performance and reliability in electrical installations.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Hacksaw, Power band saw, Metal jig, Smooth jaw wrench, Hand protection, Eye protection
Supplies needed:
Liquidtight flexible metallic conduit, T&B Liquidtight connector, T&B 140 series locknuts (optional), T&B 5260 series sealing gaskets (optional), PVC cement (optional)
- Review Safety Information and Disconnect Power
Before starting, read and understand all instructions and safety information. Disconnect power to the electrical system to prevent electric shock. Wear hand and eye protection. Ensure installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
- Prepare the Flexible Conduit
Cut the flexible metallic conduit with a clean, square end. Use a metal jig, a sharp hacksaw with a 32 Tooth/inch blade, or a power band saw with a 24-32 Tooth/inch wavy set blade operating at no more than 400 feet per minute. Do not use an abrasive wheel for cutting the conduit.
- Assemble the Connector Components
For 5000, 7000, 9000 series, and PVC coated 3300 series connectors, slide the gland nut onto the conduit, then slide on the nylon sealing ring, and finally thread in the Safe Edge™ Cone. For PVC coated connectors, tighten with a smooth jaw wrench; if gouging occurs exposing metal, apply PVC cement. For knockout applications, use T&B® 140 series locknuts and 5260 series sealing gaskets (purchase separately). For 7000 and 9000 series, order the locknut separately.
- Mount the Connector to the Knockout Box
Insert the connector body through the knockout hole in the box wall. Position the 'Box side' of the connector correctly on the outside of the box. For 5365 to 5370 series, ensure the captive 'O' ring is correctly positioned. For Chase® connector assemblies, the Chase® Nipple goes inside the knockout. Achieve lock-up by tightening the Chase® Nipple to the body or by turning the body onto the Chase® Nipple.
- Tighten the Gland Nut and Locknut
Securely tighten the gland nut to the connector body to fasten the conduit. Refer to the provided torque table for the specific tightening torque based on the fitting's trade size (e.g., 3/8" requires 200 lb.-in., 1/2" requires 300 lb.-in., 1" requires 700 lb.-in.). Ensure the locknut is also securely tightened to the box wall.
