Straight Metal Body Conduit Fittings
Straight Metal Body Fittings for Flexible Conduit Termination
Straight metal body conduit fittings are used for direct termination of flexible conduit at enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment. They are typically selected where metal-threaded connections, grounding continuity, or higher mechanical protection are required.
Flexa® straight metal body fitting families on this page include standard heavy-duty and quick-install options, along with EMC-rated, strain-relief, integrated-ferrule, and food-safe variants. Use the grouped families below to choose the appropriate fitting based on conduit type, thread standard, ingress protection, application needs, and fitting construction.
Flexa® metal body fittings are a core conduit fitting product line from IBIS Electro-Products Corp, specializing in high-performance conduit connection systems.
Choose straight metal body fittings for direct conduit termination where metal-threaded connections, bonding, or higher mechanical protection are required.
Straight Metal Body Fitting Families
Standard Straight Fittings
These are the main families for general-purpose straight conduit termination in industrial installations.
LI-M
Straight Metal Body Conduit Fittings - Metric Thread, Quick Install, Swivelling Body (IP40)
View Products
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 other special fitting functions.
Additional / Special-Construction Families
These families cover more specialized fitting designs, including integrated ferrule, inner thread, swivelling thread, and food-safe construction.
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 higher ingress protection.
How to Choose a Straight Metal Body Conduit Fitting
Selection is typically based on:
- Conduit type — liquidtight or non-liquidtight
- Conduit size — match the fitting to the conduit diameter
- Thread standard — Metric or PG
- Environmental conditions — dust, moisture, vibration, or service exposure
- Ingress protection — family-dependent IP level
- Application needs — bonding continuity, EMC shielding, strain relief, or food-safe construction
A practical selection path is:
- Start with Standard Straight Fittings for general-use industrial termination.
- Move to Application-Specific Straight Fittings when EMC or strain relief is required.
- Use Additional / Special-Construction Families when the installation depends on integrated ferrule, inner thread, swivelling thread, or food-safe construction.
