A single drop of oil seeping into an electrical control box
is all it takes to knock out your production line for days.
And a faulty fitting can be the culprit causing that failure.
At Thomas & Betts, we realize that while most of our
products are small, the jobs they do are big. And big
jobs demand the right product engineering, testing and
quality control. That’s what you get with T&B. Selecting
proper equipment to battle liquid ingress helps to:
r Ensure electrical safety
r Prevent corrosion
r Avoid system degradation
r Minimize costly downtime
