The T&B Liquidtight Systems family of stainless-steel fittings (photo) for stainless-steel flexible conduit has added a new addition: SAE Type 316 stainless steel, a marine-grade stainless steel with enhanced resistance to galvanic corrosion in food-and-beverage applications and other particularly corrosive settings. The design of these fittings has also been updated for improved protection against liquid ingress. New features include the dome-shaped gland nut that is unique to this family of products, says the company, which prevents liquids from pooling in the electric box. And, the SafeEdge ground cone securely attaches to the conduit for improved pullout performance that exceeds UL requirements, says the company. Sizes range from 3/8 to 2 in., and they are available in 45-deg, 90-deg and straight configurations. — Thomas & Betts, Memphis, Tenn.
