Thomas & Betts LT438P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit size does the Thomas & Betts LT438P 45 degree connector take?
The LT438P is a 3/8 inch trade size fitting. It's a 45 degree elbow liquid tight connector with a threaded hub, so it lands on a 3/8 inch knockout with a locknut on the inside of the box.
2) Can I use the LT438P connector in a hazardous location?
Yes, within limits. The LT438P is suitable for Class I Div 2, Class II Div 1 and 2 with Groups E, F, G, and Class III per N.E.C. Articles 501-4, 502-4 and 503-3. It is not rated for Class I Div 1, so an explosionproof sealed fitting is required for those areas.
3) Is the LT438P UL listed?
It carries UL file E23018 and is CSA certified, which is what most AHJs and spec writers want to see on a liquid tight fitting before sign-off.
4) Is the LT438P a metal fitting or plastic?
Thermoplastic, in black. That makes it a non-metallic fitting, so where the raceway is relied on for equipment grounding you need a bonding jumper or grounding conductor run in the conduit.
5) How does the LT438P seal against slightly oversized or rough-cut conduit?
The ferrule is built to absorb variations in conduit size and field cuts. Teeth on the inner surface bite into the conduit or tubing to tighten the clamp and seal, and the smooth ferrule profile plus friction-reducing ridges on the outside let it draw down without binding. Practically, a less-than-perfect hacksaw cut on site still seals.
6) Does the LT438P thread into a hub or do I need a locknut?
It's an external (male) thread with a 14.48 mm thread length, and the thread does not revolve. So it either screws into a threaded hub or passes through a knockout and takes a locknut on the inside. The fixed thread means you orient the elbow by turning the whole fitting as you tighten.
7) What part number do I order for the Thomas & Betts 3/8 inch 45 degree liquid tight connector?
Order Thomas & Betts LT438P. That's the manufacturer part number for the 3/8 inch, 45 degree thermoplastic bullet connector, and it's the only configuration the model covers.
8) How are the LT438P connectors packaged for a bulk job?
They come 10 to an inner carton and 50 to the outer, so a full outer gives you 50 fittings. Weight runs 8.75 lbs per 100 pieces, useful if you're pricing freight on a large pull.
