Eaton Crouse-Hinds LTK38 Liquidtight Connector - Low Profile
Part Number: LTK38
Quick Summary
LTK38 liquidtight connector from Eaton Crouse-Hinds protects FMC cable runs in harsh industrial environments. When space is tight and seals must endure vibration, standard fittings struggle; this low-profile design streamlines installation and improves reliability. The product carries UL certification for hazardous locations and NEC/CEC compliance, with area-classified ratings to support safe use in Class I, II, and III environments. By combining a straight configuration with a 3/8" trade size, it pairs with standard FMC conduits and simplifies panel mounting, delivering faster builds and reduced maintenance costs. In practice, engineers report shorter wiring routes, fewer fittings required, and safer, more compact electrical installations.

FAQs
The LTK38 is designed specifically for FMC conduit systems with a straight connector configuration in a 3/8 inch trade size. It mates with standard FMC fittings and steel conduits, providing a tight seal and reliable mechanical protection. This compatibility minimizes the need for adapters and simplifies on-site assembly, reducing installation time and potential leakage paths in challenging environments.
LTK38 carries NEC/CEC compliance for hazardous locations and is listed for area classifications such as Class I, Division 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III. UL certification enhances reliability in demanding atmospheres, while the low-profile, non-insulated steel design supports durable operation in hazardous environments without compromising safety or regulatory adherence.
This connector excels in space-constrained control panels, chemical plants, mining facilities, and other environments with hazardous classifications. Its straight, low-profile form factor, combined with steel construction, makes it ideal for FMC conduit runs that require robust sealing, resistance to vibration, and compliance with NEC/CEC standards in Class I/II/III locations.
LTK38 meets NEC/CEC standards and holds UL certification for hazardous locations. It is intended for area-classified environments and supports Class I Division 2; Class II Division 1 and 2; Class III ratings. This combination ensures regulatory compliance, safer installations, and easier inspections for industrial electrical systems employing FMC fittings.
The LTK38’s low-profile, straight design reduces enclosure space needs and simplifies mounting, which shortens assembly time and minimizes labor costs. Steel construction offers durable protection against mechanical damage in tough industrial settings, while UL/NEC/CEC compliance lowers risk of non-compliance penalties and supports faster commissioning in hazardous-area projects.
