FAQs
LTB38 installations should follow NEC/CEC requirements for hazardous locations, using the straight liquidtight configuration with FMC conduit. Verify the Class I Division 2, Class II, and Class III ratings before terminating, prepare wiring ahead of time to ensure a sealed, strain-relief fit, and use the insulated malleable iron body to withstand rugged environments. Use appropriate gaskets and connectors compatible with the Liquidator family to maintain integrity.
LTB38 carries NEC/CEC compliance and area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations. It supports Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III ratings, ensuring code-compliant terminations in hazardous environments. This certification supports safety inspections, reduces risk of non-compliance, and aligns with UL-listed components in the Liquidator line.
Yes, the LTB38 is designed as part of the Eaton Crouse-Hinds Liquidator family and is compatible with other straight FMC fittings in the same series. This compatibility enables consistent performance, easier inventory management, and straightforward upgrades or expansions without reworking existing terminations.
Structure inspection around the LTB38 should focus on ensuring the insulation remains intact, the malleable iron body shows no signs of corrosion or deformation, and that the straight connector maintains a secure seal. Periodic torque checks on the fitting and verification of the FMC conduit grip help prevent leaks and maintain system integrity in challenging environments.
By simplifying installation, reducing rework, and extending service life through a robust insulated malleable iron design, the LTB38 lowers both labor and maintenance costs. Compliance with NEC/CEC and hazardous location ratings minimizes inspection delays and potential penalties, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the lifecycle of hazardous-area electrical installations.
