Thomas & Betts 5242GRX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Thomas & Betts 5242GRX have a grounding lug for bonding flexible conduit?
Yes. The 5242GRX is built as a grounding type fitting, so it carries a lug for landing a bonding conductor at the connector rather than requiring a separate bonding bushing. That is the reason to pick the GR version over a plain liquidtight 45 when the flex run needs an equipment grounding path terminated at the box.
2) What is the Thomas & Betts 5242GRX made of?
Malleable iron. That is the heavier-duty body choice compared with die cast zinc fittings, and it is what a lot of industrial and MRO specs call for on motor and machine-tool flex connections where the fitting takes mechanical abuse.
3) What is the exact part number to order for the Thomas & Betts 45 degree 1/2 inch grounding liquidtight connector?
Order it as Thomas & Betts 5242GRX. The 5242 base number is the 1/2 inch 45 degree liquidtight body, and the GR suffix identifies the grounding version.
4) Should I use a 45 degree liquidtight connector or a 90 degree one?
Use the 45 when a 90 would force the conduit into too tight a turn or aim it at the wrong plane, which is common on motor terminal boxes, pumps, and rooftop equipment where the box sits at an angle to the raceway. A 90 is the choice when the flex has to exit flat along a wall or ceiling. The 5242GRX covers the 45 degree case in 1/2 inch with a grounding lug.
