Eaton LT38S Liquidtight Connector - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: LT38S
Quick Summary
Eaton LT38S liquidtight connector provides secure, corrosion-resistant connections for FMC conduits in hazardous-location applications. The design addresses common field challenges, including sealing integrity, grounding reliability, and space-constrained installations that slow projects. It meets NEC/CEC standards and supports reliable operation in Class I, Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III environments, with area classification for hazardous/classified locations. UL certification options further reinforce compliance for industrial facilities. By combining a steel, non-insulated connector with a straight configuration and a 3/8" trade size, this part delivers robust mechanical protection and straightforward installation. This translates to reduced maintenance, fewer field remakes, and faster uptime for critical process lines in harsh conditions.

FAQs
LT38S is designed specifically for FMC conduit, straight configuration, and 3/8" trade size. Its steel, non-insulated body provides robust mechanical protection while enabling straightforward alignment in restricted spaces. When used in hazardous locations, ensure NEC/CEC compliance and area classification ratings are observed, and refer to the UL certification documentation for facility-specific approvals.
LT38S carries NEC/CEC compliance and is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations, including Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. UL certification options are documented in the support literature, enhancing acceptance in regulated facilities such as chemical plants and refineries. This combination supports safer installations and reduces regulatory risk.
Yes. The LT38S is rated for Class II Division 1 and 2 and Class III environments, in addition to Class I Division 2. This broad classification makes it appropriate for a range of hazardous-location applications, including motor control centers, processing lines, and heavy industrial facilities requiring robust dust and moisture sealing along with electrical safety compliance.
LT38S mitigates sealing and grounding challenges common in harsh environments by providing a secure FMC-to-conduit connection with reliable mechanical protection. Its straight design simplifies alignment in tight panels, while the 3/8" trade size and compact dimensions reduce routing complexity and panel space needs. The steel construction also enhances durability, lowering maintenance frequency and field rework.
Choosing LT38S delivers improved uptime, regulatory compliance, and lifecycle cost savings. Its hazardous-location ratings reduce risk of non-compliant installations, while the durable steel body and straightforward installation minimize downtime during commissioning and future maintenance. The connector’s compact footprint helps optimize panel density and cable routing, contributing to faster project completion and lower total cost of ownership.
