Eaton Specification Sheet - LT38DC
Zinc die-cast housing delivers robust mechanical protection and corrosion resistance for liquidtight fittings, extending service life in harsh environments and reducing unscheduled maintenance. This reliability is critical in chemical processing plants, offshore facilities, and mining sites where moisture, dust, and vibration are common. FMC conduit compatibility with straight connector design promotes quick, accurate terminations, resulting in fewer rework steps, faster installations, and lower labor costs on control panels, junction boxes, and equipment feeders. The 3/8 in trade size with a compact footprint saves panel space and supports better thermal management, enabling cleaner routings in crowded enclosures and simplifying standardization across equipment fleets. NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous location ratings, including Class I Division 2 and related Class II/III, plus Canadian certifications, streamline regulatory approvals and reduce procurement risk for North American projects. The non-insulated construction reduces parts count while maintaining sealing integrity when paired with compatible fittings, delivering faster upgrades and lower maintenance overhead in hazardous zones.

FAQs
LT38DC is a straight, non-insulated zinc die-cast liquidtight connector for 3/8" FMC. For best results, ensure straight entry of conduit into the body, tighten to approved torque specifications, and pair with compatible Eaton Crouse-Hinds fittings to preserve the seal. The 1.54 in length and compact footprint help fit into crowded panels while maintaining a robust seal in hazardous zones.
LT38DC carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous location ratings including Class I, Division 2, and related Class II/III classifications. It is intended for Hazardous/Classified Locations. Compliance guidance helps ensure safe operation in chemical, oil, and mining environments when installed per the catalog instructions and applicable standards.
LT38DC is designed for hazardous locations and general industrial use. Its zinc die-cast housing provides durability, but suitability for outdoor or washdown exposure depends on enclosure integrity and sealing. For washdown or outdoor applications, verify environmental ratings and use appropriate gaskets and enclosures to maintain performance and regulatory compliance.
LT38DC meets NEC/CEC standards for hazardous locations and carries Canadian certification listings. It is part of Eaton's Crouse-Hinds liquidtight fittings family. Always consult the official Eaton LT38DC specification sheet for exact approvals, torque values, and compatibility with other fittings to ensure compliant installations.
Using LT38DC speeds field terminations thanks to its straightforward straight design and 3/8" FMC compatibility. The rugged zinc die-cast housing reduces replacement and maintenance costs in harsh environments, while NEC/CEC compliance minimizes regulatory risk. Standardization within the Eaton Crouse-Hinds line also simplifies procurement and stocking, improving project velocity and uptime.
