Straight Metal Body Conduit Fittings
Straight Metal Body Fittings for Flexible Conduit Termination
Straight metal body conduit fittings are used for direct termination of compatible flexible conduit at enclosures, junction boxes, machinery, and equipment. They are typically selected where a metal-threaded connection, greater mechanical protection, or bonding continuity is required.
FLEXA straight metal body fitting families on this page include standard heavy-duty and quick-install designs, along with EMC-rated, strain-relief, integrated-ferrule, and food- and pharmaceutical-processing options. Use the grouped families below to select the appropriate fitting based on conduit type, thread standard, ingress-protection requirement, application needs, and fitting construction.
FLEXA straight metal body conduit fittings are available through IBIS Electro-Products Corp. as part of a broad range of conduit connection solutions for industrial machinery, automation equipment, mobile applications, and infrastructure installations.
Choose straight metal body fittings for direct conduit termination where a metal-threaded connection, bonding continuity, or greater mechanical protection is required.
Straight Metal Body Fitting Families
Standard Straight Fittings
These are the primary fitting families for general-purpose straight conduit termination in industrial installations.

LI-P
Straight Metal Body Conduit Fittings - PG Thread, Quick Install, Swivelling Body (IP40)
View ProductsApplication-Specific Straight Fittings
Choose these families when the application requires EMC performance, strain relief, or another specific fitting function.
Additional / Special-Construction Families
These families cover more specialized fitting designs, including integrated-ferrule, inner-thread, swivelling-thread, and food- and pharmaceutical-processing options.
Applications for Straight Metal Body Fittings
Straight metal body fittings are commonly used for direct conduit termination at control panels, enclosures, junction boxes, machinery, and industrial equipment. They are a practical choice where the installation requires a metal-threaded connection, bonding continuity, EMC performance, strain relief, or family-specific ingress protection.
How to Choose a Straight Metal Body Conduit Fitting
Selection is typically based on:
- Conduit type — liquidtight or non-liquidtight
- Compatible conduit size — match the fitting family to the conduit size
- Thread standard and size — Metric or PG
- Environmental conditions — dust, moisture, vibration, impact, or service exposure
- Ingress protection — select the family-specific IP rating required
- Application needs — bonding continuity, EMC performance, strain relief, integrated ferrule, inner thread, swivelling thread, or food- and pharmaceutical-processing construction
A practical selection path is:
- Start with Standard Straight Fittings for general-purpose industrial termination.
- Move to Application-Specific Straight Fittings when EMC performance or strain relief is required.
- Use Additional / Special-Construction Families when the installation requires an integrated ferrule, inner thread, swivelling thread, or food- and pharmaceutical-processing construction.
