Thomas & Betts 5231 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What trade sizes does the Thomas & Betts non-insulated liquid-tight steel connector come in?
Four trade sizes: 3/8 inch, 1-1/4 inch, 2-1/2 inch and 3 inch. Pick the size to match the trade size of the liquidtight flexible metal conduit you are terminating, not the conductor count.
2) Does this liquid-tight connector have an insulated throat?
No, it is the non-insulated version. The throat is bare metal, so where your inspector or spec calls for an insulated throat on conductor pull-through, order the insulated-throat equivalent instead.
3) Can a Bridgeport Mighty-Seal 597-DC2 connector be used in place of the Thomas & Betts non-insulated liquid-tight steel connector?
No, they terminate different wiring methods. The Thomas & Betts connector is a straight liquidtight connector made of steel for liquidtight flexible conduit, offered in sizes from 3/8 inch up to 3 inch. The Bridgeport 597-DC2 is a Mighty-Seal PVC-jacketed MC/TECK cable connector in zinc, sized 3/4 inch, and it is built to grip jacketed cable rather than liquidtight flexible conduit. If the run is liquidtight flexible metal conduit, use the Thomas & Betts straight connector; if the run is PVC-jacketed MC or TECK cable, the Bridgeport fitting is the correct family.
4) What is the body material on this Thomas & Betts liquidtight connector?
Steel. That makes it the choice where a steel-bodied fitting is specified for mechanical strength on larger conduit runs; for wet or corrosive locations many jobs call for a zinc or die-cast alternative.
5) I need a liquidtight connector larger than 3/4 inch - what are my options?
The Thomas & Betts non-insulated liquid-tight steel connector covers the larger trade sizes, including 1-1/4 inch, 2-1/2 inch and 3 inch, as well as 3/8 inch for small flexible drops. The Bridgeport Mighty-Seal 597-DC2 is a 3/4 inch fitting, so for a 1-1/4 inch or larger liquidtight run the Thomas & Betts steel connector is the one to specify.
6) Does the liquidtight connector come with a locknut and sealing ring?
The record for this Thomas & Betts connector covers the fitting itself by trade size. If your box opening needs a sealing ring or gasket to hold the liquidtight rating at the enclosure wall, specify that separately with the fitting.
7) Is the Thomas & Betts liquid-tight connector insulated like other sealing fittings?
The Thomas & Betts connector is the non-insulated version, meaning there is no insulated throat liner on the conduit-side opening, and the body is steel. The Bridgeport 597-DC2 Mighty-Seal is a zinc-bodied cable connector, a different material and a different wiring method. If your spec calls for an insulated throat, the non-insulated Thomas & Betts fitting will not satisfy it; the non-insulated form is typically chosen where the drawing permits it or where a separate bushing is used.
