Thomas & Betts 5342SST6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and angle is the Thomas & Betts 5342SST6 liquidtight fitting?
It's a 1/2 inch, 45 degree connector for liquidtight flexible metal conduit. The 45 degree body is what you reach for when a straight connector would kink the flex coming off a box, and a 90 would overshoot the run.
2) Is the 5342SST6 fitting stainless steel, and what grade?
316 stainless steel, with a Duraplated ground cone. 316 is the grade specified for marine, coastal, wash-down and chemical exposure, where 304 or plated steel would pit. Finish reads metallic.
3) Does this liquidtight connector bond the conduit, or do I need a separate ground bushing?
The 5342SST6 carries a Duraplated ground cone, so it bites the flex armor and establishes the bond through the fitting body itself. That is the ground path a plain insulated-throat connector doesn't give you.
4) Can I use the 5342SST6 with regular flexible metal conduit (Greenfield) instead of liquidtight?
It's built for liquidtight flexible metal conduit in 1/2 inch trade size. Running it on dry-location FMC gives up the sealing gasket you paid for, and the jacket grip is sized to LFMC. For plain Greenfield, use an FMC connector of the same trade size.
5) Why pick a 316 stainless liquidtight fitting over a standard zinc die-cast one?
Corrosion. Die-cast and plated steel connectors are fine indoors and in dry mechanical spaces; 316 stainless is what specs call for on rooftops, food plants with caustic wash-down, water treatment, and salt-air coastal work, where a plated body corrodes at the gasket and the bond degrades. Same 1/2 inch trade size and 45 degree geometry either way, so it's a material substitution, not a layout change.
