Thomas & Betts 5346SST6HT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this fitting suitable for washdown, food plant, or coastal outdoor use?
Yes. The body is 316 stainless steel, which is the grade specified for chloride exposure, saltwater air, and caustic washdown environments where 304 stainless or plated steel corrodes. That makes it a common pick for food and beverage plants, wastewater, marine and coastal exteriors.
2) Does the 5346SST6HT provide a ground path through the conduit?
It includes a Duraplated ground cone, which bites the flex armor and carries the equipment ground through the fitting into the enclosure. You still need to verify your local code allows the flex and fitting as the equipment grounding conductor for the circuit; many installers pull a separate bonding jumper regardless.
3) What does the HT in 5346SST6HT mean?
HT designates the high temperature version of the 5346 series 1-1/2 inch stainless liquidtight fitting. It is the variant specified where the sealing gland has to tolerate elevated ambient temperatures, such as near ovens, dryers, or steam lines, rather than the standard-temperature build.
4) Should I use a 45 degree liquidtight fitting or a straight one with a separate elbow?
Use the 45 when the flex has to leave the enclosure at an angle and you are tight on space, for example a motor termination or a pump skid where a straight connector would force a long sweep of flex. A straight connector plus a conduit elbow needs more room and adds a joint. The 5346SST6HT is the 45 degree, 1-1/2 inch stainless version of that decision.
5) Is this a raw or coated fitting, and will it match my stainless enclosure?
Finish is bare metallic stainless, not painted or powder coated, so it matches 316 stainless boxes, strut, and hardware on the same run. Mixing it with plated steel fittings on a corrosive installation is what usually shortens service life, so most specs keep the whole termination in the same grade.
6) Can I order this by part number for a spec that calls out T&B 5346 series?
Order manufacturer part number 5346SST6HT from Thomas & Betts. That is the 1-1/2 inch, 45 degree, high temperature, 316 stainless liquidtight connector in the 5346 series, and it is a single catalog item with no finish or size options to specify.
