Quick Summary

Liquidtight connectors like the Eaton LTB5090DC provide reliable FMC termination for hazardous locations in industrial facilities. This model addresses common field challenges, including corrosion resistance, compact footprint, and easy routing in tight spaces. By delivering a 90° bend in a zinc die cast, insulated body, it supports secure, code-compliant wiring for demanding environments. The LTB5090DC carries NEC/CEC compliance and explicit hazardous location ratings, including Class I, Division 2 and related classifications, reducing risk during startup and maintenance. In practice, manufacturers gain faster installations, lower rework, and consistent performance across temperature and vibration stresses. For OEMs and maintenance teams, this means lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime without sacrificing safety.

90° FMC liquidtight connector with a zinc die cast insulated body enables tight, corrosion-resistant terminations in confined spaces. This design minimizes leak paths, resists moisture ingress, and simplifies routing around obstacles, delivering faster, safer installations in crowded panels and machine dashboards. The 1/2 inch trade-size interface matches common conduit sets, reducing misfits and call-backs during commissioning. In demanding environments, this combination supports reliable, code-compliant wiring for motors, sensors, and control gear where space is at a premium and uptime matters. A 1/2 inch trade-size interface reduces the need for adapters and extra fittings, lowering both material cost and field assembly time. The standardized footprint also supports easy interchange with other Crouse-Hinds fittings, improving procurement efficiency and reducing training requirements for technicians. Compatibility with standard FMC installations simplifies change orders and field modernization projects, ensuring consistent electrical performance across replacements. NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III ensure code-conforming installations across major industries. These ratings minimize audit findings, streamline approvals, and reduce downtime during plant expansion or maintenance windows. They also provide a clear path for integrating this connector into safety programs, EHS reviews, and contractor scopes. Documentation and reliability matter in procurement and service planning. Eaton provides specification sheets and certification references that support fast approvals and accurate BOMs. The zinc die-cast insulator resists moisture, dust, and abrasion, extending service life and lowering long-term maintenance costs. Since the connector is designed for hazardous locations, you gain predictable performance under thermal cycling and vibration. Installation and operating advantages come from FMC compatibility and an established installation practice. Technicians can achieve solid sealing and grounding with familiar tools, reducing training time and error rates. The 90° configuration supports routing around equipment corners and through cramped enclosures, which translates to fewer field modifications, fewer callbacks, and higher overall uptime on critical production lines.

FAQs

Yes. The LTB5090DC is a 1/2 inch trade-size FMC liquidtight connector designed for 1/2 inch conduit terminations. It supports 90° routing and insulated zinc-die-cast construction, enabling secure terminations in tight spaces. When mounting, ensure proper fitting alignment with the FMC conduit, maintain grounding continuity, and verify ingress protection meets the project requirements for hazardous locations.
LTB5090DC provides NEC/CEC compliance for hazardous environments with ratings including Class I, Division 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III. These ratings ensure code-conforming installations in chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations, reducing the risk of noncompliance during inspections or audits and supporting safe operation under temperature and vibration stresses.
This connector excels in chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and industrial automation where hazardous locations and space constraints are common. Its 90° FMC termination, insulated zinc die cast body, and 1/2 inch trade size make it ideal for control panels, motor terminations, and field wiring exposed to moisture, dust, and aggressive contaminants.
Official documentation is available through Eaton's catalog pages and UL certification references. Key resources include the Crouse-Hinds Zinc Die Cast Liquidtight Fittings catalog page, UL/Canada certification reports, and the Eaton Specification Sheet for LTB5090DC, which cover installation guidelines, conformity marks, and operating conditions for regulatory compliance.
By using a corrosion-resistant zinc die cast, insulated 90° liquidtight connector rated for hazardous locations, you gain longer service life and reduced moisture ingress. This translates to fewer field faults, lower maintenance frequency, faster replacements, and improved uptime of critical equipment, which lowers total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
