Stainless Steel LT Grounding 45° Connector UL 514B

Premium SS316 Angled Liquid-Tight Conduit Connector with Integrated Grounding for Demanding Applications

TSI INOX Conduits presents our premium Stainless Steel LT Grounding 45° Connector, a high-performance angled fitting engineered to secure, ground, and seal Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LTFM) to boxes and enclosures. Manufactured from premium SS316 stainless steel with a vibration polished finish, our 45° grounding connectors provide reliable, corrosion-resistant connections where superior corrosion resistance and/or strength is required.

The LT (Liquid-Tight) Grounding 45° Connector is specifically designed to terminate liquid-tight flexible metal conduit in wet and dry locations at a 45° angle, while providing a grounding lug and screw for a secure connection for ground wiring . The 45° angle is ideal for routing conduit around obstacles and in confined spaces where straight connections are impractical . Built for long, dependable service in tough industrial and standard applications, our SS316 LT grounding 45° connectors meet the most demanding requirements of the electrical industry. Whether you are installing in food processing facilities, chemical plants, wastewater treatment facilities, or marine environments, TSI's stainless steel LT grounding connectors deliver the quality, durability, and code compliance your project demands.

Stainless Steel LT Grounding 45° Connector - UL 514B

Key Features

Integrated Grounding Capability

The LT Grounding 45° Connector is specifically designed with a grounding lug and screw that provide a secure connection for ground wiring. This feature ensures:

  • Reliable equipment grounding – Provides a low-impedance ground path
  • Code compliance – Meets NEC requirements for grounding flexible conduit
  • Positive bonding – Ensures continuous ground throughout the raceway system

45° Angled Design for Tight Spaces

The 45° connector configuration provides critical installation advantages:

  • Space-constrained routing – Ideal for tight spaces where straight connectors cannot be used
  • Obstacle avoidance – Routes conduit around equipment and structural obstacles
  • Professional installation – Provides clean, neat conduit runs in complex layouts

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Manufactured from Type 316 stainless steel, our LT grounding 45° connectors provide long, dependable service where superior corrosion resistance is required. The 316 alloy provides:

  • Superior corrosion resistance – Exceptional protection against chlorides, acids, and saline atmospheres
  • Molybdenum-enhanced durability – Resists pitting and crevice corrosion in aggressive environments
  • Sanitary properties – Suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, and hygienic applications
  • Long service life – Eliminates lifecycle costs associated with corrosion-related failures

316SS Inside Ferrule

The Type 316 SS inside ferrule provides extra corrosion resistance on the inside of the fitting. Other inside ferrules made of materials such as carbon steel may corrode easily, affecting the entire fitting. The 316SS ferrule ensures:

  • Complete corrosion protection – Inside and out
  • Long-term reliability – Prevents corrosion-related fitting failure
  • System integrity – Maintains performance in aggressive environments

Vibration Polished Finish

Our LT grounding 45° connectors feature a vibration polished finish that provides:

  • Enhanced corrosion resistance – Smooth surface minimizes crevice corrosion
  • Easy cleaning – Sanitary design suitable for CIP (clean-in-place) systems
  • Professional aesthetic – Uniform, attractive finish
  • Low maintenance – Does not require touch-up or painting

Precision NPT Threading

  • Tapered male hub NPT threads for secure connections to female threaded hubs
  • Leak-resistant joints with excellent ground continuity
  • Sealing gasket provides additional protection against moisture ingress

Long Ferrule Design

The long ferrule provides critical performance benefits:

  • Prevents pullout – Securely grips the liquid-tight conduit to prevent pullout under stress
  • Prevents tight bend "pop-out" – Eliminates conduit disengagement at tight bends
  • Enhanced conduit retention – Provides superior holding power in demanding applications

Insulated Throat

Furnished with an insulated throat (polypropylene) that:

  • Protects wire insulation – Prevents conductor damage during installation and throughout service life
  • Provides smooth entry – Facilitates wire pulling and prevents abrasion
  • Maintains integrity – Provides long-term protection for conductors

Compact, Slim Design

  • Compact, slim diameter – Ideal for space-constrained installations
  • Small turning radius – Facilitates installation in tight spaces
  • Clean, professional appearance – Matches the profile of the conduit

Furnished Components

Each LT grounding 45° connector is supplied complete with:

  • Stainless steel locknut – For secure mounting to boxes and enclosures
  • Neoprene sealing gasket – Provides raintight sealing against the enclosure wall
  • Polypropylene sealing ring – Creates a liquid-tight seal around the conduit jacket
  • Grounding lug and screw – For secure ground wiring connection

Easy Installation

  • Can be installed using ordinary hand tools
  • Require little maintenance or repair
  • No special tools or equipment required
