FAQs
LT5045 is a 1/2 inch liquidtight connector with a 45° angle from Eaton Crouse-Hinds, designed for FMC conduits in hazardous-classified locations. It provides a durable malleable iron body and is suitable for Class I Division 2, Class II, and Class III installations, aligning with NEC/CEC standards. It is commonly used on control panels, motors, and process equipment in chemical plants, refineries, and mining sites.
Install LT5045 by preparing the conduit and engaging the FMC into the 1/2 inch port. Tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specs, ensuring a secure, leak-free seal while maintaining the 45° bend. Verify enclosure ratings match the hazardous-location requirement and ensure any gaskets or seals are properly seated. Follow site safety guidelines for hazardous environments.
Yes. LT5045 carries NEC/CEC certification and supports Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III ratings. This makes it suitable for hazardous-location installations and aligns with typical area classifications in chemical, oil/gas, mining, and other high-risk industrial settings.
LT5045 excels in connecting FMC conduits in control panels, motors, and equipment enclosures within hazardous locations. Its 45° bend and rugged malleable-iron body make it ideal for tight spaces and tough environments found in chemical plants, refineries, and heavy manufacturing, where reliable sealing and compliant installation are essential.
LT5045 reduces downtime by providing a durable, vibration-resistant seal that minimizes rework in demanding environments. Its compatibility with existing FMC fittings and CAD resources speeds up installation and procurement, lowering field engineering time and overall maintenance costs, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for automation projects.
