Thomas & Betts 5345 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What trade sizes does the Thomas & Betts 45 degree insulated liquidtight connector come in?
Two trade sizes: 1-1/4 inch (part 5345) and 1-1/2 inch (part 5346). Order by the trade size of the liquidtight flexible metal conduit you are terminating, not by the knockout in the box.
2) Can I use this on liquidtight flexible metal conduit running to a motor or outdoor equipment?
Yes. It is a liquidtight connector with strain relief, so it seals against moisture, dust, and contaminants at the enclosure and takes the mechanical stress of vibration or movement off the connection. Typical uses are motor control centers, distribution panels, outdoor electrical equipment, and process equipment terminations.
3) When should I use a 45 degree liquidtight connector instead of a straight or 90 degree one?
Use the 45 when a straight connector would force too tight a bend radius on the liquidtight conduit but a 90 would crowd the enclosure or point the conduit the wrong way. The 45 degree angle buys directional routing in confined spaces without kinking the flex. Straight connectors are the default where there is room to sweep the conduit; 90s are for runs that have to leave the box hard sideways.
4) Is this connector made of metal or plastic?
The body is malleable iron, so it holds up to mechanical abuse and vibration on industrial equipment and outdoor gear far better than a die-cast or nylon fitting. It is an insulated-throat design, meaning the conductors pass over a protective insulator rather than bare metal at the opening.
5) Which Thomas & Betts part number do I order for 1-1/2 inch liquidtight?
Part 5346 is the 1-1/2 inch 45 degree insulated liquidtight connector. The 1-1/4 inch version of the same fitting is part 5345.
6) Do I need an insulated throat connector for a control panel install?
Insulated throat is what you want any time stranded conductors are pulled over the fitting opening, which is most control panel and enclosure work. This connector is an insulated design, so the conductor insulation is not dragged across a bare metal edge at the throat.
