How to Assemble LT438M Liquid-Tight Conduit and XTRA FLEX Flexible Tubing
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly assembling Type B NM Liquid-Tight Conduit and XTRA FLEX Flexible Tubing with a fitting, ensuring a secure and liquid-tight connection.
Estimated time: 10m
Tools needed:
Conduit cutter, Wrench
Supplies needed:
Type B NM Liquid-Tight Conduit, XTRA FLEX Flexible Tubing, Gland-nut, 5262 Series Sealing Ring (for wet locations)
- Cut Conduit Cleanly
Cut the conduit clean and square. A precise, straight cut is essential for a proper fit and to ensure a liquid-tight seal.
- Insert Conduit into Gland-Nut
Insert the prepared conduit through the gland-nut opening. Push the conduit firmly to the bottom of the fitting with a slight twisting motion to ensure it seats correctly and completely.
- Tighten Gland-Nut Securely
Tighten the gland-nut securely until it bottoms out. For installations in wet locations, ensure the appropriate 5262 Series Sealing Ring is used between the box and fitting for knock-out applications to maintain the required liquid-tight seal.
