Thomas & Betts 5347SST6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Thomas & Betts 5347SST6 fitting suitable for washdown, food plant, or coastal corrosive areas?
It's built from 316 stainless steel, the grade specified where chlorides and washdown chemicals attack standard steel or zinc die cast fittings. That makes it the right pick for food and beverage processing, pharma, wastewater, and marine or coastal exposure. The ground cone is Duraplated.
2) Will the 5347SST6 work on standard liquidtight flexible metal conduit, or only on a specific brand?
It is made for flexible metallic conduit, specifically liquidtight, in 2 inch trade size. Any manufacturer's 2 inch LFMC of the standard type terminates in it; the fitting is sized to the trade size, not to a brand.
3) Why use a 45 degree liquidtight connector instead of a straight one?
A 45 degree fitting like the 5347SST6 turns the conduit away from the enclosure at a half angle, which keeps the liquidtight whip off the wall and stops you forcing a tight radius bend right at the connector. Use a straight connector when the conduit runs square into the box, a 90 when you need a full turn at the enclosure, and the 45 when you need to clear an obstruction or route down at an angle without kinking the flex.
4) Does the 5347SST6 provide an equipment ground path through the conduit?
Yes. The fitting includes a Duraplated ground cone, which bites the flexible metal core of the liquidtight conduit to carry the bonding path through the connector into the enclosure. Where code requires a separate equipment grounding conductor for the circuit, you still pull one.
5) Can I mix a 316 stainless fitting with steel enclosures and still avoid corrosion problems?
The 5347SST6 body is 316 stainless, which is more noble than plain or galvanized steel, so in a wet chloride environment the steel hub or enclosure is the part that will corrode first. On corrosive installs the usual practice is to keep the enclosure material in the same class, stainless or non metallic, rather than pairing a stainless fitting to a painted steel box in a washdown zone.
6) What finish does the Thomas & Betts 5347SST6 have, and will it match other stainless fittings on the run?
Finish is bare metallic stainless, no paint or coating on the body, so it matches other 316 stainless fittings and stainless strut or enclosures on the same run.
