Thomas & Betts 5345SST6 1 1/4 45 DEG 316 SS LT FITTING

The 5345SST6 is a 1-1/4 inch fitting, so it terminates 1-1/4 inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit into a 1-1/4 inch trade size knockout or hub. It will not adapt other conduit sizes on its own.

It is built from 316 stainless steel, which is the marine and chemical grade of stainless and the reason this fitting gets specified for coastal air, wastewater plants, and food processing washdown areas rather than a plated steel or die cast body. Being a liquidtight connector, it seals the conduit entry against sprayed water as well.

A 45 degree body is for when the conduit has to leave the enclosure at an angle that a straight connector would kink and a 90 would fold back too tight. It buys you bend radius in a shallow space, common on motor terminations and rooftop equipment where the flex run drops off at a diagonal. If the conduit approaches square to the box, use a straight fitting; if it has to turn hard against a wall, use a 90.

Yes. It uses a Duraplated ground cone, which bites the conduit's metal core to carry ground continuity through the connection rather than relying on the stainless body alone. That said, whether you still need a separate bonding jumper is driven by the circuit and the length of the flex run under the NEC rules for your install.

This is a liquidtight connector, so it is intended for liquidtight flexible metal conduit where the jacket seals into the fitting. Terminating bare FMC in it gives you no seal and no proper jacket grip, so for dry interior FMC runs order a standard FMC connector in 1-1/4 inch instead.

Order it by the Thomas & Betts manufacturer part number 5345SST6. The finish is the natural metallic look of stainless, not painted or colored, so it will match other stainless fittings on the same enclosure.
