Thomas & Betts LTBUS09E-A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does LTBUS09E-A liquid tight conduit provide an equipment ground by itself?
Do not rely on it. The LTBUS09E-A has a galvanized steel core, but at 3 inch trade size liquid tight flexible metal conduit is not recognized as an equipment grounding conductor, so you pull a separate green equipment grounding conductor sized to the circuit. That is a code requirement to plan for on the takeoff, not an option.
2) Why is this Thomas & Betts conduit orange instead of the usual gray?
Orange jacket on the LTBUS09E-A is an identification color. On a jobsite it lets electricians and inspectors distinguish that circuit or system from standard gray liquid tight at a glance, which matters where several conduit runs share a rack or trench. Electrically and mechanically it is the same construction as a gray jacketed run: galvanized steel core with a liquid tight jacket over it.
3) When should I use liquid tight flexible metal conduit instead of rigid conduit or flexible nonmetallic?
Use the LTBUS09E-A style liquid tight metallic where the run has to flex or absorb vibration and still keep moisture out: motor and pump terminations, rooftop HVAC units, compressors, and equipment on isolation mounts. Rigid conduit is the pick for long fixed runs and where physical protection matters more than movement. Nonmetallic liquid tight is lighter and handles corrosive washdown areas well, but it gives you no steel core, and this product's galvanized steel core is what provides crush resistance behind the jacket.
4) Is the Thomas & Betts LTBUS09E-A UL listed?
Yes, the LTBUS09E-A is a UL listed liquid tight flexible metallic conduit, which is what specifying engineers and plant electrical inspectors look for on a submittal.
