Liquidtight Connector 90 deg · 3/8 inch Nylon grey non-metallic · Topaz P490

What this product is for

The Topaz P490 is a 90 deg liquidtight connector used to terminate 3/8 in liquidtight flexible conduit into a 1/2 in knockout on boxes, cabinets, panels, and equipment. Its angled body helps when straight entry is tight or when conduit needs to turn immediately at the enclosure.

Use for

Use for 3/8 in liquidtight conduit connections in wet or damp locations where a compact 90 deg entry is needed. Typical applications include HVAC equipment, machinery connections, outdoor equipment, and control enclosures.

Avoid for

Avoid for conduit sizes other than 3/8 in and avoid where a straight connector or larger hub size is required. Do not assume compatibility with every conduit type without confirming the matching liquidtight conduit specification and local code requirements.

Best for

Best for tight enclosure entries where bend space is limited and a non-metallic liquidtight fitting is preferred. This style is commonly selected for corrosion-resistant installations and general equipment whip terminations.

Installed in

Installed in 1/2 in knockout openings on junction boxes, disconnects, panels, control cabinets, and equipment housings. Typical overall dimensions published for this series are approximately 2.56 in x 2.14 in x 1.09 in (65 x 54 x 28 mm). Actual fit depends on enclosure layout and conduit bend allowance.

Why this product exists

This connector provides a listed transition from liquidtight conduit to an enclosure while changing direction 90 deg at the entry point. It helps reduce strain at the termination and can simplify routing in compact equipment spaces.

Compared with similar products

Compared with straight liquidtight connectors, a 90 deg connector is typically chosen when side clearance is limited or when conduit must turn immediately into the box. Compared with malleable iron versions, this nylon version is generally chosen when a non-metallic body is preferred for corrosion resistance and lighter weight.
