O-Z/Gedney Liquidtight Fittings Available in Wider Size Range for More Flexibility in Hazardous Electrical Applications



ROSEMONT, IL -- Appleton Group, a division of Emerson Industrial Automation, announced today that its O-Z/Gedney brand has expanded its time-proven line of 4QS Steel Liquidtight Fittings with trade sizes now ranging from 3/8-inch to 4-inches in body designs of straight, 45° and 90°.



"Trusted by electricians who value serious protection from liquids seeping into power lines and extreme durability, our 4QS now come in a wider choice of fittings for installation in hazardous locations, such as petrochemical plants and other heavy industrial applications, that call for extra flexibility," said Rick Jones, Product Marketing Manager for Appleton Group.



With their compact form factor for a tighter turning radius, along with a rugged design that withstands the most abusive environments, 4QS fittings are also ideal for use in machine tool building, motor and transformer terminations, robotics assembly, air conditioning installation or other jobs that require the protection of electrical wiring from liquids, vapors or solids.



Performance-enhancing features include a zinc-plated steel body and nut for the straight connectors, and a malleable iron/zinc plated design for the 45° and 90° bodies. Both ensure a long service life, minimizing costly service calls.



The 4QS has a captive gland that stays in the connector, making installation quick and easy, along with a hex-shaped gland nut and an extra long hub that enables the use of bushings to protect conductors from abrasion. The reusable ferrule can be disassembled to save time and money in retrofit jobs.



O-Z/Gedney 4QS Connectors are available in insulated or non-insulated. The sealing gasket and locknut are included with the connector, eliminating the need for separate purchases.
