Thomas & Betts 5344SST6HT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of conduit does the Thomas & Betts 5344SST6HT fitting take?
The 5344SST6HT is a 1 inch, 45 degree connector for liquidtight flexible metallic conduit. Pair it with 1 inch trade size LFMC; it is not made for EMT, rigid, or non-metallic flex.
2) Is this Thomas & Betts liquidtight fitting suitable for a washdown or coastal corrosive environment?
It is built from 316 stainless steel, the grade specified for chloride exposure such as food processing washdown areas, wastewater plants, and coastal or marine installations. The ground cone is Duraplated. Where corrosion is not a concern, a plated steel or die cast fitting is the cheaper route.
3) Does the 5344SST6HT maintain a ground path through the connector?
Yes. The connector uses a Duraplated ground cone that bites the conduit's metal core, carrying equipment ground continuity through the fitting rather than relying on a separate bonding jumper across the joint.
4) When should I use a 45 degree liquidtight connector instead of a straight or 90 degree one?
A 45 degree fitting like the 5344SST6HT is for when the conduit has to leave the box or enclosure at an angle and a straight connector would force too tight a bend radius on the flex, while a 90 would overshoot. It is common on motor terminations and equipment drops in tight clearance. If the run comes straight out of the wall of an enclosure, use a straight connector; if it must turn a full right angle against a flat surface, use the 90.
5) What is the Thomas & Betts part number and finish on the 5344SST6HT?
Order by manufacturer part number 5344SST6HT from Thomas & Betts. The finish is bare metallic stainless, so it will not match painted or zinc yellow chromate fittings on the same equipment if appearance matters to you.
6) Does this liquidtight connector come with a sealing gasket and locknut for the enclosure?
The 5344SST6HT is a single connector assembly. Confirm your enclosure knockout is a clean 1 inch opening, and plan on a sealing ring or gasket at the box wall if the enclosure itself needs to stay liquidtight at that penetration.
