Eaton LTB38GC Liquidator Connector - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: LTB38GC
Quick Summary
LTB38GC is a liquidtight connector for FMC conduit used in hazardous locations. Engineers often struggle with maintaining seal integrity under vibration and chemical exposure. This Eaton Crouse-Hinds design meets NEC/CEC standards and UL certification for metallic liquidtight fittings in Hazardous/Classified Locations (Class I, II, III). The malleable iron body with an insulated copper ground lug delivers durable grounding and rugged service in hostile environments. With a 3/8 in trade size and #4-14 AWG lug range, it fits compact control panels and heavy-duty equipment efficiently. This combination reduces commissioning time and supports ongoing regulatory compliance.

Eaton Specification Sheet - LTB38GC
The Straight FMC Liquidator connector is built from malleable iron and insulated, delivering a robust, sealed connection for demanding industrial environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The copper ground lug provides a reliable grounding path, reducing the risk of EMI and fault currents, which translates to safer equipment operation on the factory floor and in control panels. Application: ideal for hazardous locations where durable grounding and precise conductor termination are required. The lug supports #4-14 AWG conductors, enabling common wiring schemes in motor starters and control circuits, reducing inventory complexity and installation time. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact dimensions (1.63 in length, 1.88 in height, 1.13 in width) and a 3/8 in trade size allow tight panel integrations, speeding up assemblies and lowering labor costs. Application: suitable for compact enclosures and conduit runs in material handling and process plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL certification and NEC/CEC compliance address regulatory obligations, minimizing project risk and avoiding costly rework. Application: preferred choice for facilities needing certified fittings in hazardous or classified locations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ground lug copper material improves bonding and reduces maintenance overhead over time, supporting longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership. Application: reliable grounding in high-vibration industrial machinery. The combination of these attributes—durability, compliance, and compatibility—supports faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and better lifecycle economics in metalworking, chemical processing, and mining environments.

FAQs
Yes. The LTB38GC is a straight FMC liquidtight connector designed for standard FMC conduit runs. It accepts lug sizes of #4-14 AWG and uses a 3/8 in trade size, enabling straightforward termination with common control wiring in industrial panels. Its malleable iron body and insulated construction simplify mounting in tight spaces while maintaining seal integrity.
The LTB38GC carries NEC/CEC standards and UL certification for metallic liquidtight fittings, plus an area classification of Hazardous/Classified Locations (Class I, II, III). These certifications validate safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, reduce regulatory risk, and support compliance documentation required for plant approvals and installation inspections.
Yes. Its IP-classified ground lug and durable malleable iron body are engineered for harsh environments, including chemical processing and mining. The connector’s straight FMC configuration, 3/8 in trade size, and #4-14 AWG lug range enable reliable terminations in compact panel spaces, improving enclosure integrity and long-term reliability.
The copper ground lug provides a low-impedance grounding path, enhancing safety and EMI performance. The insulated construction supports a robust seal against dust, moisture, and chemicals. Together, these features reduce maintenance intervals, prevent corrosion at the lug, and ensure consistent electrical performance in vibration-prone industrial settings.
With its compact dimensions, standard conduit compatibility, and straightforward lug termination, the LTB38GC speeds up installation and commissioning. UL/NEC/CEC compliance minimizes rework and tear-down costs, while durable materials extend service life, lowering replacement and maintenance expenses over the equipment’s lifecycle.
