Southwire 1/2" 90 Degree Non-Metallic Liquidtight Connector | P491

The Southwire P491 1/2-Inch 90-Degree Non-Metallic Liquidtight Connector provides a secure, moisture-resistant connection between flexible non-metallic liquidtight conduit and electrical boxes, enclosures, and equipment. Manufactured from durable gray nylon 6/6, this connector is designed for indoor and outdoor electrical installations requiring reliable protection against moisture, rain, and oil.

Featuring a compact 90-degree elbow design, the Southwire P491 is ideal for electrical installations where limited clearance or equipment positioning makes a straight conduit connection impractical. Common applications include swimming pool pumps, spa equipment, pool automation panels, HVAC systems, and outdoor electrical enclosures.

Benefits of a 90-Degree Liquidtight Connector

Unlike straight connectors, the Southwire P491 allows flexible conduit to enter an electrical enclosure at a right angle. This configuration is particularly beneficial for pool equipment installations where the conduit must transition around pump housings, motor compartments, or other equipment.

• Provides a compact electrical conduit connection.
• Helps reduce unnecessary conduit bending near equipment.
• Allows cleaner conduit routing around motors and enclosures.
• Helps maintain a moisture-resistant connection in outdoor installations.
• Provides an alternative to straight fittings when installation clearance is limited.

Installation Information

1. Disconnect electrical power and verify that the circuit is de-energized.
2. Confirm that the conduit is compatible 1/2-inch flexible non-metallic liquidtight conduit.
3. Cut the conduit squarely to the required length.
4. Prepare the connector according to Southwire's installation instructions.
5. Insert the conduit into the compression fitting.
6. Secure the conduit connection according to the manufacturer's instructions.
