If the termination fitting on a nonmetallic liquid tight is metal, is a ground bushing (grounded nut ) necessary? Thanks
My supply store has only metal fittings for 1 inch liquid tight they have no plastic fittings. I think they have metal fittings for liquid tight for everything 1 inch and higher like inch and a quarter inch and a half, 2”, etcDo they actually make listed metal fittings for non metallic flex?
AFAIK metallic LT fittings are not listed for use on non metallic LT (even if connecting to metal box). I've also seen way to many times where metal LT fittings have been used non metallic LT to non metallic enclosures thus leaving the metal LT fitting electrically floating.Do they actually make listed metal fittings for non metallic flex?
IMO, it cannot possibly matter.If the termination fitting on a nonmetallic liquid tight is metal, is a ground bushing (grounded nut ) necessary? Thanks
If terminated in a metal enclosure, I'll use metal LT fittings with nonmetallic LT every time. The plastic LT fittings are fragile junk.AFAIK metallic LT fittings are not listed for use on non metallic LT (even if connecting to metal box).

Are the metal fittings that you use listed for LFNC?If terminated in a metal enclosure, I'll use metal LT fittings with nonmetallic LT every time. The plastic LT fittings are fragile junk.
