Thomas & Betts 5252GRX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conduit does the Thomas & Betts 5252GRX connector take?
The 5252GRX is a 1/2 inch trade size fitting, so it lands 1/2 inch liquidtight flexible conduit and needs a 1/2 inch knockout or hub at the box. Anything larger on the same run needs the next size up in the series, not this one.
2) Does the 5252GRX provide a ground path, or do I still need a separate bonding jumper?
It is a grounding type connector, built with a provision to bond the conduit run to the enclosure through the fitting itself rather than relying on the flex alone. That is what the GR in 5252GRX designates. Whether your installation still requires a separate equipment grounding conductor depends on the circuit and the conduit type you are running, and that call belongs to the inspector on your job.
3) Why choose a 90 degree liquidtight connector instead of a straight one?
A 90 degree fitting turns the conduit right at the enclosure, so you use it when the box sits tight to a wall, a pan, or a piece of equipment and a straight connector would force a wide sweep of flex you do not have room for. The 5252GRX is the 1/2 inch 90 degree version. If you have room to bend the flex itself, a straight connector is the cheaper and simpler pick.
4) What is the Thomas & Betts 5252GRX body made of, and is it suitable for a damp mechanical room?
Malleable iron. That gives it far more impact resistance than a die cast or nonmetallic fitting, which is why it turns up on motor connections, rooftop units, and equipment rooms where the conduit can get knocked. Malleable iron is not the choice for direct salt spray or corrosive process areas; for that you want a fitting specified with a corrosion resistant coating or a stainless or nonmetallic body.
5) Can I use a 90 degree liquidtight grounding connector to feed a rooftop HVAC unit disconnect?
That is a typical use for it. The 1/2 inch 90 degree liquidtight grounding connector lets you bring flex up into the side or bottom of a disconnect that is mounted flush against the unit casing, with the bond carried through the fitting, and the liquidtight seal handles weather exposure at the enclosure. Match the fitting size to the flex you are pulling, which here means 1/2 inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit.
6) Is 5252GRX the full Thomas & Betts part number I should order?
Yes, 5252GRX is the manufacturer part number as Thomas and Betts catalogs it, and it identifies the 1/2 inch 90 degree grounding liquidtight connector. Order by that number and you get the single configuration, there are no finish or material variations to specify.
