Overview

ABB Installation Products 7344-TB is a 3/4 inch 45-degree steel insulated liquidtight connector designed for secure cable entry in industrial environments. The connector features a PG thread (thread size 21) for compatibility with standard liquidtight conduit systems, ensuring reliable mechanical and environmental sealing. The chromate finish provides corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh conditions such as manufacturing plants, chemical processing facilities, and outdoor installations. This connector is constructed from steel for strength and durability, with an insulated throat to protect conductors from abrasion and electrical faults. The 45-degree angle design simplifies installation in tight spaces or where conduit routing requires directional adjustment, reducing labor time and minimizing bend radius stress on cables. The liquidtight design prevents moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering the enclosure, meeting IP66/67 ingress protection standards when properly installed.
  • 3/4 inch size for standard liquidtight conduit systems
  • 45-degree angle for flexible conduit routing in tight spaces
  • PG thread (size 21) for secure mechanical attachment
  • Chromate finish for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
  • Insulated throat protects conductors from abrasion and electrical faults

How to Install T&B Liquidtight Flexible Metallic Conduit 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 accordance with electrical codes.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

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

Supplies needed:

Liquidtight flexible metallic conduit, T&B Liquidtight connector, T&B 140 series locknuts (optional), 5260 series sealing gaskets (optional), PVC cement (optional)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety

    Disconnect all power to the area before beginning installation. Wear appropriate hand and eye protection. Ensure a qualified electrician performs the installation in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

  2. Cut the Flexible Conduit

    Cut the liquidtight flexible metallic conduit with a clean, square end. Use a metal jig and a sharp hacksaw (32 Tooth/inch) or a power band saw (24-32 Tooth/inch, max 400 ft/min) for high production. Do not use an abrasive wheel.

  3. Assemble the Liquidtight Connector

    For 5000, 7000, 9000, and PVC coated 3300 series connectors, first slide the gland nut onto the conduit. Next, slide the nylon sealing ring onto the conduit. Finally, thread the Safe Edge™ Cone into the connector body.

  4. Install Connector into Box Knockout

    Insert the connector body through the knockout hole in the electrical box. For knockout applications, secure the connector using a T&B® 140 series locknut and a 5260 series sealing gasket on the inside of the box (if required and purchased separately). Ensure the 'O' ring is correctly positioned on the outside of the box.

  5. Tighten the Connector

    Tighten the locknut to the connector body according to the specified torque values provided in the documentation (e.g., 200 lb-in for 3/8", 300 lb-in for 1/2", etc.). If installing a PVC coated connector, use a smooth jaw wrench to tighten, and apply PVC cement if any metal is exposed due to gouging.
