Thomas & Betts 5234-TB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does a non-insulated liquid-tight connector carry the ground, or do I still need a bonding jumper?
The connector body is steel and non-insulated, so the metallic path runs through the connector for grounding continuity. That is the whole point of the non-insulated version: no plastic throat liner interrupting the body. Whether your installation still needs a supplementary bonding jumper depends on the conduit length and the equipment served, which is a code call on your job, not a property of the fitting.
2) Will this straight connector work on liquid-tight flexible metal conduit, or is it for rigid pipe?
It is a liquid-tight fitting for flexible liquid-tight conduit, with the sealing gland and strain relief that flex requires. It is not a rigid or EMT fitting. For rigid or IMC you want a threaded coupling or rigid connector; for EMT, a set-screw or compression connector.
3) What is the difference between an insulated and a non-insulated liquid-tight connector, and which should I use?
Both seal the conduit the same way. The insulated version adds a plastic or nylon throat that protects conductor insulation as wire is pulled through. The non-insulated version has a bare steel throat, which is what you want where the connector body itself is relied on for the grounding path. If you are pulling fine-stranded or thin-jacketed conductors and want the throat protection, choose an insulated equivalent instead.
4) Is a liquid-tight steel connector suitable for outdoor and wet-location motor connections?
Yes, that is its intended use. The gland seals against moisture and dust, and the strain relief keeps cable movement off the terminations, which is what motor leads and vibrating equipment need. Common placements are motor whips, control panels, and equipment enclosures on weather-exposed runs.
5) Why choose steel over a die-cast or plastic liquid-tight connector?
Steel gives mechanical strength where the fitting takes abuse or supports a heavy flex whip, and it keeps a solid metallic ground path through the body. Die-cast zinc fittings are lighter duty; nonmetallic ones cannot serve as a ground path at all. For industrial and plant work where the conduit gets bumped, the steel body is the reason to specify it.
6) How do I install the 2 inch liquid-tight straight connector so the seal actually holds?
Cut the conduit square and deburr the end first; a ragged cut is the usual reason a gland leaks. Thread the connector onto the conduit until it is fully engaged, then secure it to the box or enclosure through the knockout with the locknut drawn tight. Check the gland has compressed evenly around the jacket, and confirm continuity through the connector body before you energize.
