Thomas & Betts 5356 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) When should I use a 90 degree liquid tight connector instead of a straight one?
Use the 90 degree version, like the T&B 5356, where the flex has to turn immediately off the enclosure and there isn't room for the bend radius a straight connector would need, tight against a wall, under a panel, or behind equipment. A straight connector is the simpler choice anywhere the conduit has room to sweep on its own; forcing a 1-1/2 inch liquid tight into a tight radius is what kills the jacket. There are also 45 degree fittings for turns that don't need the full right angle.
2) Is the Thomas & Betts 5356 connector OK for wet or outdoor locations?
That's what it's built for. The liquid tight construction seals against moisture ingress at the conduit-to-enclosure joint, and the fitting is used on outdoor enclosures, industrial control panels, and marine or other harsh environment installations. The sealing ring and gland still have to be pulled up tight on the flex jacket, and the hub needs a sealing washer or gasket at the box for the connection to stay watertight.
3) What does the insulated throat on this T&B liquid tight connector do for me?
The insulated throat gives the conductors a smooth non-conductive surface to bear against where they leave the fitting, so the wire insulation doesn't get cut on a metal edge as it is pulled in or as the assembly vibrates. On a 1-1/2 inch run you're usually pulling heavy conductors, and that throat is the difference between a clean pull and a nicked jacket. It also matters in wet or damp locations where the description calls out electrical isolation as part of the design.
4) Malleable iron or die cast, which is the better connector body for an industrial install?
The 5356 body is malleable iron, which is the heavier-duty option for industrial and outdoor work. It takes mechanical abuse and repeated wrench torque on a 1-1/2 inch hub better than a zinc die cast fitting, which is why it is specified for manufacturing equipment, process control, and marine environments. Die cast is fine for lighter indoor duty; if the conduit is going to get bumped, stepped on, or vibrated, iron is the one to spec.
5) Does the T&B 5356 provide strain relief, or do I still need a separate cord grip?
Strain relief is built in. The fitting clamps the liquid tight flex and takes the mechanical stress and vibration off the conductors and the termination inside the box, so no separate cord grip is needed for the conduit itself. It is a conduit connector, not a cord connector, so a loose portable cable entering an enclosure still needs a proper cord grip sized to the cable.
6) What's the exact part number to order for the 1-1/2 inch 90 degree insulated liquid tight connector?
Thomas & Betts part number 5356. There is one configuration, 1-1/2 inch, 90 degree, insulated throat, malleable iron body, so there is no finish or thread variation to specify when you order it.
7) Can I reuse the T&B 5356 if I have to pull the panel and re-terminate?
Yes. It's a mechanical compression fitting on a malleable iron body, so it comes apart and goes back on the flex. Inspect the sealing gland and the insulated throat before you put it back in service; if the seal is deformed or the jacket at the clamp is chewed up, the liquid tight rating on that joint is only as good as the seal, and it's cheaper to fit a new connector than to chase water in a panel.
