Liquid-Tight Conduit Connectors
RACO liquid-tight connectors, in 3/8-inch to 2-inch thread sizes and insulated or uninsulated styles, are designed for use on flexible metallic liquid-tight conduit and Type B flexible non-metallic liquid-tight conduit in outdoor or indoor locations. Starting at $1.75, connectors are available in straight and 90-degree models. Liquid-tight connectors are used to positively bond the conduit to a box or enclosure; the connectors are suitable for use in Class I, Div 2; Class II, Div 1 & 2; and Class III, Div 1 & 2 hazardous locations. All models feature a zinc-plated steel heavy-duty locknut to assure continuity of ground; a patented split gland-ring slips onto the conduit quickly to grip the jacket of the conduit, assuring a perfect seal, and preventing pullouts.
