Sealtite vs Liquidtite

[K8MHZ]

In my neck of the woods, the trade slang is exactly the opposite. Which is precisely why a drawing set or job specifications should not use trade slang.

Sealtite is an Anamet product line. Liquidtite is an Electriflex product line. Both product lines, with the suffix "-tite" misspelled, contain both metallic and nonmetallic.

Good info.

In this area, the call LFNMC Carflex. At least it is a distinctive difference. Sealtight and liquidtight are pretty obvious synonyms for the items referenced. Unless you want to designate one for dust and the other for liquid, then they would be the same thing.

You really don't know the difference, or are you just pointing out what you feel is improper use of the terms?

Sealtite is used for metallic, liquidtite is non-metallic. Slang, yes, but it causes no confusion to most industrial electricians. At least in my neck of the woods.

Never heard that before.
