Thomas & Betts 5354SST6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this 90 degree liquidtight fitting suitable for a washdown or coastal / marine environment?
That is what the 316 stainless construction is for. The 5354SST6 body is 316 stainless steel, the grade specified where chlorides are present, so food plants, washdown areas, wastewater, and coastal or marine exposure are the intended use. A plated steel or die cast fitting in the same spot corrodes far sooner.
2) Do I need a separate bonding jumper with the 5354SST6, or does the fitting ground the flex?
The fitting includes a Duraplated ground cone, which bites into the conduit's metal core to carry the ground path through the connector. It is built as a grounding-type liquidtight connector rather than a plain mechanical clamp. Whether your installation still requires a supplemental equipment grounding conductor depends on the circuit and the length of flex, per your inspector and the wiring method you are using.
3) Why use a 90 degree liquidtight connector instead of a straight one?
A 90 degree body turns the flex immediately at the enclosure, which is what you want when there is no room to sweep the conduit, such as a motor or pump close to a wall, or a box mounted tight to structure. The 5354SST6 is the 90 degree version; if you have clearance to make the bend in the flex itself, a straight connector is the simpler choice and keeps the pull easier.
4) Will the Thomas & Betts 5354SST6 keep water out of the enclosure?
It is a liquidtight connector, so used with liquidtight flexible metal conduit it seals the conduit to the box against dripping and sprayed water. The seal depends on the whole run being liquidtight type flex and on a proper sealing washer or locknut arrangement at the enclosure wall, so do not mix it with standard non-jacketed flex and expect a wet-location seal.
5) What is the correct part number to order for a 1 inch 316 stainless 90 degree liquidtight connector?
Order Thomas & Betts 5354SST6. That is the 1 inch, 90 degree, 316 stainless steel liquidtight fitting with the Duraplated ground cone, and it ships in a metallic finish (no paint or coating to scratch off in a washdown area).
