Eaton LTK15045 Liquidtight Connector - Low Profile FMC
Part Number: LTK15045
Quick Summary
The Eaton LTK15045 liquidtight connector provides rugged FMC termination for hazardous location installations in industrial facilities. Engineers face space-constrained conduit runs and corrosion risks that complicate reliable connections; this low-profile 45° fitting helps. The connector is designed for NEC/CEC compliance in hazardous areas, including Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III environments, supporting safer, code-compliant installations. Built from malleable iron with a non-insulated insulator, it withstands harsh environments and provides long-term performance. Its 1-1/2" trade size and compact footprint reduce assembly time, enable easier access in tight panels, and minimize field modifications while delivering dependable protection for exposed FMC runs across automation and process facilities.

Eaton Specification Sheet - LTK15045
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 45° angle FMC connector reduces bend radii and bulk, enabling cleaner, quicker terminations in crowded control cabinets. This translates to faster panel assembly and fewer miswirings during commissioning in automated lines where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Malleable iron construction provides high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, delivering lasting service in chemical processing, outdoor installations, and other harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Low-profile design enables easier mounting between panels and behind equipment, improving accessibility in compact automation enclosures and switchgear. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-insulated insulator reduces material cost while still delivering reliable insulation in suitable environments, supporting cost-effective installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings (Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 1/2; Class III) streamline approvals and inspection processes for industrial facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with standard FMC fittings and a 1-1/2" trade size minimizes field rework, accelerating commissioning and reducing downtime during upgrades or expansions.

FAQs
To install the LTK15045, terminate the FMC conduit into the malleable iron body using standard FMC fittings and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque recommendation. Ensure the 45° bend aligns with the layout to minimize bend radius and avoid tight kinks. Verify the non-insulated insulator is correctly seated to maintain enclosure integrity in Class I, Division 2 environments, and test the assembly under applicable moisture and dust exposure conditions.
The LTK15045 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and NEC hazardous-rated approvals, including Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 1; Class II, Division 2; and Class III. This certification set supports safe operation in hazardous and classified locations, simplifies regulatory review, and aids in passing field inspections for industrial facilities handling chemicals, powders, or other hazardous materials.
Yes. The LTK15045’s 1-1/2" trade size combined with its low-profile 45° design enables easier routing in confined spaces. This compact footprint reduces clearance requirements behind panels, helps maintain orderly wiring runs, and minimizes the need for additional fittings or adapters during panel upgrades or retrofits in automation and process facilities.
Maintenance considerations focus on periodic inspection of tightness and seal integrity at the connector, checking for corrosion on the malleable iron body, and ensuring the non-insulated insulator remains uncracked. In corrosive or dusty environments, schedule visual checks quarterly and functional tests during firmware or control-system refresh cycles to maintain reliable enclosure integrity and hazardous-location compliance.
The LTK15045 offers reduced installation time due to its low-profile design and compatible 1-1/2" trade size, translating to lower labor costs. Its durable malleable iron construction improves long-term durability in harsh environments, reducing maintenance cycles and rework in hazardous locations. When paired with NEC/CEC compliance, this can shorten approvals, minimize downtime during commissioning, and enhance overall system reliability.
