Thomas & Betts LTXES09B-A LFMC XTMP 3IN BLK 8M/25FT

One coil of LTXES09B-A holds 25 ft (8 m) of 3 inch liquidtight flexible metallic conduit. Plan your runs against that length; longer pulls need multiple coils joined with liquidtight connectors, which are ordered separately.

No. The part number covers the 25 ft coil of 3 inch conduit only. You order liquidtight connectors, sealing rings and any grounding accessories separately, and they need to be 3 inch to match.

The interlocked core is galvanised steel with a black jacket over it. Steel core gives you the mechanical strength and the metallic raceway path; aluminum-core liquidtight is the lighter alternative if weight on long overhead runs is the concern.

XTMP is Thomas & Betts' extreme temperature jacket version of their liquidtight flexible metallic conduit, built for service outside the range of the standard jacket. If your run is in a walk-in cooler, a rooftop in winter, or next to heat-producing equipment, that is the reason to specify the XTMP line over plain LFMC.

Use liquidtight, like the LTXES09B-A, anywhere moisture, washdown, oil or weather can reach the raceway; the plastic jacket over the steel core is what keeps liquids out. Plain FMC has no jacket and belongs in dry interior locations only. Both give you flexibility for vibration and equipment terminations, so the jacket is really the deciding factor.

Thomas & Betts LTXES09B-A. That single model number covers the 3 inch black XTMP liquidtight flexible metallic conduit in a 25 ft (8 m) coil.

The jacket is black, which is the standard color for liquidtight on commercial and industrial work, so it will sit consistently alongside existing black liquidtight runs in a plant or mechanical room.
