Liquid Ingress Protection
14
Liquid exposure is a given in pulp and paper processing
due to the wet nature of the operations, from pulping
to slurry.
When specifying electrical systems for pulp and paper
processing facilities, consider the following issues
relating to liquid exposure:
• Liquid ingress can deteriorate or short out an electrical
system immediately or over time
• Electrical system components designed with round
surfaces help to shed liquids and contaminants,
rather than creating a shelf where they can collect
Thomas & Betts offers you electrical system solutions
that protect against liquid, moisture and dust ingress.
DuraGard® Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors
• Not just watertight, but waterproof, mated or unmated
• Tested to 1,000 psi for washdown applications
• Full line of 20–60A (600VAC/250VDC max.) connectors,
plugs and receptacles in UL94V-0 flammability-rated,
corrosion-resistant, non-metallic housings
Code Keeper® Weatherproof While-in-Use Covers
• “Extra-duty” metallic weatherproof while-in-use covers

for increased corrosion resistance and durability
OCAL-BLUE ® PVC-Coated Type 4X Form 8
Conduit Bodies
• UL® Listed Type 4X and NEMA 4X rating for excellent
protection in wet or high-pressure washdown areas,
as well as harsh outdoor environments
• Stainless steel encapsulated cover screws can be
hand-tightened — using only 15 in-lbs of torque —
to achieve the 4X watertight rating
• Double coated for superior corrosion protection
Liquidtight Conduit Fittings
• Provide a water- and oil-tight seal where flexible
metal conduit enters a box or enclosure
• Rounded gland nut deflects water from connector
• Continuous sealing ring ensures a liquidtight seal
• Available in straight, 45° and 90° angled versions
Type A Liquidtight Flexible Non-Metallic
Conduit and Fittings
