How to Assemble Type B NM Liquid-Tight Conduit Fittings

This guide provides instructions for assembling Type B NM Liquid-Tight Conduit and XTRA FLEX® Flexible Tubing with a fitting, ensuring a secure and watertight connection for various applications.

Estimated time: 10m

Tools needed:

Conduit cutter, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Type B NM Liquid-Tight Conduit, XTRA FLEX® Flexible Tubing, Gland-nut, Fitting, 5262 Series Sealing Ring (for wet locations)

  1. Cut Conduit

    Cut the conduit clean and square. Ensure the cut is straight and free of burrs to facilitate a proper seal and fit within the fitting.

  2. Insert Conduit

    Insert the cut end of the conduit through the gland-nut opening. Push the conduit firmly to the bottom of the fitting, applying a slight twisting motion to ensure it seats correctly and completely.

  3. Tighten Gland-Nut

    Tighten the gland-nut securely until it bottoms out. This action compresses the sealing components, creating a liquid-tight seal around the conduit.

  4. Apply Sealing Ring (Wet Locations)

    For installations in wet locations, ensure you use the appropriate 5262 Series Sealing Ring. Place this sealing ring between the box and the fitting for knock-out applications to maintain a watertight integrity.
