Overview

Engineered for 1 1/2" trade size conduit (35mm metric), this connector features a captive neoprene O-ring seal that ensures a watertight, dust-tight barrier against moisture, oils, cutting fluids, and mild acids—meeting NEC requirements for wet or hazardous locations. The included zinc-plated steel locknut with teeth secures the connector firmly to enclosures, panels, or junction boxes, preventing loosening from vibration or mechanical stress. Constructed from glass-reinforced thermoplastic and stainless steel components, the ABB 6306 resists corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical degradation, making it ideal for outdoor, underground, or corrosive environments. Typical uses include raceway for general-purpose industrial and commercial construction, control panels, outdoor lighting circuits, and cable management in manufacturing plants. Key specifications include NPT threaded hubs for liquid-tight threaded connections, a smooth insulated body for maximum dielectric strength, and high mechanical pull-out strength. The connector supports electrical circuits up to 1,000V and is listed under UL 514B (File E23018).

How to Install Series 6300 Non-metallic Type A Conduit Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Series 6300 Non-metallic Type A 1 1/2" & 2" liquid-tight conduit fittings, including straight and 90-degree elbows, onto an enclosure wall.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Nonmetallic conduit cutter, Wrench, Protective gloves, Safety glasses

Supplies needed:

NM Type A Conduit, Series 6300 Non-metallic Type A fitting

  1. Prepare the Conduit

    Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Use a nonmetallic conduit cutter to cut the NM Type A conduit to a clean 90-degree square end, as shown in Figure 1.

  2. Insert Conduit into Fitting Body

    Ensure the gland nut is in position. Slide the prepared NM Type A Conduit through the gland nut by pushing and twisting clockwise (CW) until it bottoms out in the fitting body, as illustrated in Figure 2.

  3. Secure the Gland Nut

    Hand-tighten the gland nut clockwise. Then, use a wrench to complete tightening until the base of the gland nut is snug against the hex flange of the fitting body, as shown in Figure 3. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

  4. Verify Conduit Security

    Firmly pull on the conduit to confirm it is securely attached to the fitting and that a full insertion has been achieved, as depicted in Figure 4.

  5. Mount Fitting to Enclosure Wall

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation. Remove the locknut from the fitting, ensuring the O-ring remains flush against the hex flange. Attach the assembled fitting to the enclosure wall, as shown in Figure 5.

  6. Secure Fitting with Locknut

    Hand-tighten the locknut against the enclosure wall. Then, use appropriate tools to add an extra 1/4 turn to firmly secure the fitting to the enclosure wall, as shown in Figure 6. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
