Straight Liquid-Tight Metallic Conduit Fittings

When specifying straight Liquid-Tight Metallic Conduit Fittings, the best starting point is the job the connection must perform rather than a catalogue reference alone. This topic focuses on straight conduit-to-enclosure connections for appropriate protected cable routes. AP Technology works with UK and international manufacturers, subcontractors and systems integrators on specialist interconnection requirements.

Applications and engineering considerations

Consider industrial plant and control enclosure installations: poor matching of the cable, connector and installation arrangement can cause rework even where each individual component is sound. AP Technology supplies Bimed cable gland accessories including locking nuts, seals, adaptors, blind stops and protection tabs. The related Bimed range also includes metallic liquid-tight conduit fittings and fittings for PVC conduit.

Choosing a suitable specificati

Before selecting a part or assembly, establish conduit type, thread and grounding design. Check the original equipment documents and identify any relevant electrical, environmental or industry approval requirements. Cable-entry accessories may look minor, but correct threads, seals and installation details are essential. Always match the accessory to the gland family, mounting material, cable form and environmental requirement rather than relying on a nominal diameter alone.

Supply and technical support from AP Technology

AP Technology can support the sourcing of glands and accessories together, helping purchasing and engineering teams avoid incompatible combinations. For non-standard entries, ask about a suitable special seal, reducer or bespoke gland option. For a new design, share drawings, photographs of the interface and the expected operating conditions. For maintenance or replacement, an existing part reference and clear information about the machine can help narrow down options.
