Thomas & Betts 5332GR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size flexible metal conduit does the Thomas & Betts 5332GR grounding connector fit?
The 5332GR is the 1/2 inch trade size straight grounding connector. If you are terminating 3/4 inch flex, order the 5333GR instead, which is the same connector in 3/4 inch. Those are the two sizes Thomas & Betts offers in this straight grounding style.
2) Is this connector NPT threaded so it will thread straight into a box hub or threaded coupling?
Yes. The thread is NPT and it is an external (male) thread that screws into the housing, so it lands in a threaded hub, coupling or tapped enclosure opening without an adapter. The thread does not revolve, so the body stays put as you tighten.
3) Can I use this on a job that has to pass UL and CSA inspection with protective metallic hose?
It is approved in combination with protective conduit under both UL and CSA, carrying UL file E3060 and CSA. The ETIM classification is EC001180, screw connection for protective metallic hose, so it is the fitting type inspectors expect on flexible metallic hose runs.
4) Why use a grounding connector instead of a standard flex connector?
A standard connector only terminates the conduit mechanically. This straight grounding version adds a lug or screw provision so you can bond an equipment grounding conductor at the termination, which is what you want where the flex itself cannot be relied on for ground continuity or where the run feeds a panel or piece of equipment that needs a bonded conductor. If you do not need to land a ground wire, a plain straight connector is the cheaper choice.
5) I need to standardize grounding terminations across a building. Are the 1/2 and 3/4 inch versions the same design?
Yes, both are the same straight grounding connector in steel with the electro zinc plated and chromate finish and NPT external thread. Only the trade size changes: 5332GR for 1/2 inch, 5333GR for 3/4 inch. That keeps installation and inspection consistent across a facility.
6) Will the electro zinc plated steel body hold up in a damp or corrosive area?
The housing is steel with an electro zinc plated and chromate coated finish, which is the standard corrosion protection for indoor commercial and industrial work, including damp locations. For direct outdoor exposure, salt air or washdown areas, a fitting built for those conditions is the better call.
7) Does this grounding connector come assembled as one piece or do I have parts to put together?
It is not a one piece fitting. Expect a body plus separate components (gland nut and grounding provision) that assemble during installation, so keep the small parts together when you unbag it on the jobsite.
