what if you don't have access to the other side of the wall to add the nut? For a residential application, i need to go through a rim joist, some sheathing, 1" rigid insulation, and finally through vinyl siding. I'm also using non-metallic liquid tight. Is there a different connector that i can use in this instance? Thanks
Thanks for the comment and great question. Without seeing the problem, its hard to get a proper answer. If I understand the question, I normally liquid tight to a bell box on the outside. Then I would use a threaded romex connector in the back of the box to properly secure the romex. Caulk around the box and call it a day. I hope this helps. Have a great day!
Liquid-tight seems more robust than AC90 / Metal Clad, because during handling you run less risk of kinking the cable, you can change wiring if that even happens (so long as the fill is ok of course), and no worries about sharp edges and thus no anti-shorts (red devils) are used. I do have a quick question: what's your opinion on PVC connectors as opposed the metal ones you're showing here? There are these Liquid-tight kits that come with a bunch of straight and 90 degree connectors.
Metal holds together better over time. You have lmfc which is liquidtight flexible metal conduit. And you have lfc which is liquidtight flexible conduit. The metal version has metal the entire length and is way better.
This guy does this video with one hand (!) what most people can't do with 3
Thank you for demystifying this for me.
Thanks for the comment. Glad to be of service and glad your enjoying our channel.
Thanks for making this video. Clear and straight to the point.
Thanks for the comment. Have A Great Day!
I've seen plastic connectors used for liquid-tite conduit. Are those connectors similar to the metal connectors you used here?
Yes but that is for lfc not lmfc
Great video, simple and to the point!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment and Have A Great Day!

Thanks for the video. It helped me.
Your very welcome... what area are you from and what type of electrical work do you do. If you don't mind my asking.
can be fit in electrical PVC on outdoor panel board switch??
It technically can but proper way would be to change the pvc over to a rigid coupling. Thanks for the comment.
Great video. Helped me realize I got the wrong part :/
This channel is for all of you out there doing work. If you have any questions feel free to ask and thank you for the comment!!!
Thanks
Your very welcome
Never, ever seen that type of connector used with liquid tight.
That liquid tight is lfmc not lfnc.
Lfmc is required when subject to damage.
