Thomas & Betts LTBUS06E-B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What part number do I order for 1-1/2 inch orange Thomas & Betts liquid tight?
Order Thomas & Betts LTBUS06E-B. That is the 1-1/2 inch orange liquid tight flexible metallic conduit in the 50 foot (15 m) coil, and it is the single manufacturer part number for that combination of size, color and length.
2) Why is this Thomas & Betts LFMC orange instead of the usual gray?
Orange jacket on the LTBUS06E-B is a color identification, used on jobs where a circuit type, system, or voltage class has to be distinguishable at a glance in a tray or gang of runs. Electrically and mechanically it is the same galvanized steel core liquid tight flexible metallic conduit, just jacketed in orange instead of the common gray.
3) Is liquid tight flexible metallic conduit the right choice, or should I run EMT?
LFMC is what you use where the run has to flex or absorb vibration and still keep liquids out: motor and pump whips, rooftop HVAC units, compressors, machine tool drops, damp and wet locations. EMT is rigid, cheaper per foot, and better for long straight fixed runs through a building. If the equipment moves, vibrates, or needs to be pulled for service, the 1-1/2 inch LTBUS06E-B is the type that survives it; if nothing moves, rigid raceway is the simpler install.
4) Does this Thomas & Betts LFMC have a metal core for grounding continuity?
The core is galvanized steel, spiral wound, with the orange jacket over it. That metal core is what gives LFMC its crush resistance and physical protection compared with nonmetallic liquid tight. Bonding still follows your installation method and the fittings used, so size and run an equipment grounding conductor per the circuit as your design requires.
5) Can I use the 1-1/2 inch orange LFMC outdoors or in a wet location?
Liquid tight construction is the point of this conduit: the jacket over the galvanized steel core keeps water, oil and dust out of the raceway, which is why it goes on rooftop condensers, exterior disconnect whips and washdown areas. Keep the fittings liquid tight as well, since an unlisted or dry-type connector defeats the seal at the box.
6) I need more than 50 feet of this conduit for one run. Can I order it as a continuous length?
The LTBUS06E-B is packaged as a 50 foot (15 m) coil, so a longer single run means ordering multiple coils and splicing at a box or condulet with liquid tight connectors. There is no mid-run coupling that keeps the raceway liquid tight without an enclosure, so plan the break where you have a junction point.
